Abstract Outokumpu Moda 410L/4003 is a weldable, extra low carbon, Cr-Ni, ferritic stainless steel that is best suited for mildly corrosive environments such as indoors, where the material is either not exposed to contact with water or gets regularly wiped dry, or outdoors, where some discoloration and superficial rusting are acceptable. It is a low-cost alternative to low-carbon non-alloy steels in certain applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SS-1330. Producer or source: Outokumpu Oyj.

Bimodal Grain Size

The refinement of grains in a polycrystalline material leads to an increase in strength but as a counterpart to a decrease in elongation to fracture. Different routes are proposed in the literature to try to overpass this strength-ductility dilemma, based on the combination of grains with highly contrasted sizes. In the simplest concept, coarse grains are used to provide relaxation locations for the highly stressed fine grains. In this work, a model bimodal polycrystalline system with a single coarse grain embedded in a matrix of fine grains is considered. Numerical full-field micro-mechanical analyses are performed to characterize the impact of this coarse grain on the stress-strain constitutive behavior of the polycrystal: the effect on plasticity is assessed by means of crystal plasticity finite element modeling [B. Flipon, C. Keller, L. Garcia de la Cruz, E. Hug and F. Barbe, Tensile properties of spark plasma sintered AISI 316L stainless steel with unimodal and bimodal grain size distributions, Mater. Sci. Eng. A 729 (2018) 248–256] while the effect on intergranular fracture behavior is studied by using boundary element modeling [I. Benedetti and V. Gulizzi, A grain-scale model for high-cycle fatigue degradation in polycrystalline materials, Int. J. Fract. 116 (2018) 90–105]. The analysis of the computational results, compared to the experimentally characterized tensile properties of a bimodal 316L stainless steel, suggests that the elasto-plastic interactions taking place prior to micro-cracking may play an important role in the mechanics of fracture of this steel.

Cold Rolled

Lower cold rolling reductions before reversion annealing for the grain size refinement are desired in industrial practice. This study demonstrates the effect of a low (32%) cold rolling reduction on cyclic behavior of a partially reversed (750 °C for 0.1s) structure in a 17Cr-7Ni-N type 301LN austenitic stainless steel and compares it with those of a 63% cold rolled and annealed and with a conventional coarse-grained structure. Stress amplitude and the amount of deformation-induced martensite formed under cyclic loading at the 0.6% total strain amplitude were recorded. The results showed that the partially reversed structure after the 32% cold rolling reduction exhibits the similar cyclic stress amplitude level and slight cyclic hardening as the 63% cold-rolled counterpart does. Even though the grain size refinement remains less effective at the lower reduction, the microstructure consists of higher fractions of strong retained cold-deformed austenite and martensite phases which increase the flow resistance. However, the coarse-grained structure exhibits a much lower initial stress amplitude and much more pronounced cyclic hardening. The susceptibility of austenite to transform deformation-induced martensite is practically similar among these three structures. However, the cyclic hardening is a caused by the formation of deformation-induced martensite, and the difference in the degree of cyclic hardening results from the big difference in the strength of the austenite between the partially reversed fine-grained and coarse-grained structures.
