Austenite Grain Size Refinement of Multi-Microalloyed Low Carbon Steel Using Severe Plastic Deformation at High Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of hot deformation behavior on austenite grain size refinement of low carbon multi-microalloyed steel was investigated. The morphology of austenite grains was revealed by thermal etching and observed using optical microscope. The results showed that single pass compression can only marginally refine austenite grain size by dynamic recrystallization, even under severe plastic deformation. However, when the specimens were held for a while after hot deformation, the fine austenite grain size can be obtained due to static recrystallization behavior.
