Microstructure Formation of High Pressure Torsion Processed (α + γ) Two Phase Stainless Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

(α + γ) two phase stainless steel (Fe-21%Cr-4.8%Ni-1.5%Mo) powder was processed by high pressure torsion (HPT) and consolidation at room temperature. The received powder had fully α single phase due to the rapid cooling during gas atomizing process. Specimens after HPT process were heat treated at 1173K for 3.6ks. It was revealed that the decomposition of α phase to γ took place during the heat treatment. Detailed microstructure observation showed that an equiaxed (α + γ) micro-duplex structure was developed and its average grain size was approximately 3.2 micrometers. The same heat treatment given to the material without HPT resulted in a coarse two phase microstructure.Therefore, it is considered that an ultra fine grained microstructure was caused by increasing of nucleation sites for γ phase due to severe plastic deformation (SPD) of HPT process. Electron backscatter diffraction patterns (EBSD) analysis indicated that α phase has a {110}/ND strong texture, that is, the α phase seems to have single orientated coarse grain structure. The γ precipitates indicated a {111}/ND strong texture, and the crystallographic orientation relationship of Kurdjumov-Sachs was observed.
