Microstructure Evolution during LCF of a 10%Cr Steel at Room Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

The influence of cyclic loading on microstructure and hardness of a 10%Cr steel with 3%Co and 0.008%B was examined at room temperature and total strain amplitudes of ±0.25% and ±0.6%. Low cycle fatigue (LCF) curves exhibit a stress peak after a few cycles. Hardening is attributed to an increase in dislocation density; no changes in lath size were observed. Then stress tends to decrease monotonically with number of cycles that is indicative for material softening. At εac =±0.25%, strain softening is attributed to decreasing dislocation density and lath coarsening under LCF, whereas at εac =±0.6%, the knitting reaction between dislocations comprising lath boundaries and trapped lattice dislocation leading to the transformation of lath boundaries to subboundaries is a reason for hardness decrease and strain-induced subgrain coarsening.
