Investigation of the Effect of Deformation Stored Energy on the Allotropic Transformation Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of our investigation was to study the effect of deformation on the start temperature of the austenite-ferrite transformation. The deformation was carried out during cooling before the beginning of the transformation. The transformation start temperature was determined by dilatometric measurement with a Gleeble 3800 thermomechanical simulator. A novel method was developed to study the deformation induced ferrite transformation (DIFT) effect and successful experiments were carried out on S460MC grade steel specimens to determine the effect of the deformation stored energy on the transformation temperature of the austenite. Evaluating the dilatograms a strong relationship was observed between the temperature of the deformation and the austenite transformation start and finish temperatures. Lower deformation temperature resulted finer microstructure after austenite transformation.
