When austenite is deformed within the austenite phase field, it partially transforms dynamically into ferrite. Here, plate rolling simulations were carried out on an X70 steel using rough rolling passes of 0.4 strain each. The influence of the number of roughing passes on the grain size and volume fraction of induced ferrite was determined. Up to three roughing passes applied at 1100 °C followed by 5 finishing passes at 900 °C were employed. The sample microstructures were analysed by means of metallographic techniques. Both the critical strain to the onset of dynamic transformation as well as the grain size decreased with pass number during the roughing simulations. For the finishing passes, the mean flow stresses (MFS`s) applicable to each schedule decreased when a higher number of roughing passes was applied. The volume fraction of dynamically formed ferrite retained after simulated rolling increased with the roughing pass number. This is ascribed to the increased amount of ferrite retransformed into austenite and the finer grain sizes produced during roughing. The forward transformation is considered to occur displacively while the retransformation into austenite during holding takes place by a diffusional mechanism. This indicates that both dynamic transformation (DT) and dynamic recrystallization were taking place during straining.

Under loading above the Ae3 temperature, austenite transforms displacively into Widmanstätten ferrite. Here the driving force for transformation is the net softening during the phase change while the obstacle consists of the free energy difference between austenite and ferrite as well as the work of shear accommodation and dilatation during the transformation. Once the driving force is higher than the obstacle, phase transformation occurs. This phenomenon was explored here by means of the optical and electron microscopy of a C-Mn steel deformed above their transformation temperatures. Strain-temperature-transformation (STT) curves are presented that accurately quantify the amount of dynamically formed ferrite; the kinetics of retransformation are also specified in the form of appropriate TTRT diagrams. This technique can be used to improve the models for transformation on accelerated cooling in strip and plate rolling.

AbstractNeutron diffraction is a powerful probe of the properties of condensed matter. In recent years neutron diffraction has been applied to the non-destructive evaluation of mechanical characteristics of engineering components. This paper presents examples of applications to ceramic composites including the measurement of position dependence of residual strain, grain size and minority phase concentration. In addition, an example of volume-averaged crystallographic texture is presented.

An effect of tempforming on the microstructure, the carbide precipitation, and the strengthening mechanisms of high-strength low-alloyed steel has been analyzed. The quenched steel was subjected to 1 h tempering at a temperature of 873 K, 923 K, or 973 K followed by plate rolling at the same temperature. Tempforming resulted in the formation of an ultrafine grained lamellar-type microstructure with finely dispersed carbides of (Nb,V)C, Fe3C and Cr23C6. A decrease in tempforming temperature resulted in a reduction of the transverse grain size from 950 nm to 350 nm. Correspondingly, the size of Fe3C/Cr23C6 particles decreased from 90 nm to 40 nm while the size of (Nb,V)C particles decreased from 17 nm to 4 nm. Refining the tempformed microstructure with a decrease in thetempforming temperature provided an increase in the yield strength from 690 MPa to 1230 MPa.
