The Difference

The development of dynamic recrystallization in a 304-type austenitic stainless steel during warm multi-pass screw rolling was studied. The fraction recrystallized depended significantly on the distance from the centre of rolled rods. The highly elongated original grains were mainly observed in the centre of processed samples, while the portions close to the sample edge were characterized by relatively fast development of dynamic recrystallization leading to formation of almost equiaxed fine grains with a size of about 1 μm. The volume fraction of fine grains in the edge areas increased with straining and exceeded 0.7 after rolling to 63% cross area reduction. The structural mechanism responsible for the grain refinement was considered as continuous dynamic recrystallization. The difference in the recrystallization kinetics across the sample is associated with the variation in strain intensity.

The effects of repetitive upsetting extrusion under different starting temperatures on the microstructure and texture of GWZK124 alloy were investigated. The results clearly showed that the particles and second phases induced dynamic recrystallization (DRX), which can be explained by the particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN) mechanism. It was shown that grain refinement during repetitive upsetting extrusion (RUE) is dominated by a complicated combination of continuous dynamic recrystallization and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization. The RUEed alloys under different starting temperatures exhibited a bimodal microstructure comprising fine DRXed grains with weak texture and coarse deformed grains with strong texture. The DRXed grains could weaken the texture. As the RUE starting temperature decreased, the average grain size increased and the volume fraction of DRXed grains decreased.

The structural changes that are related to the new fine grain development in a chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel subjected to warm working by means of multiple forging and multiple rolling were studied. The multiple warm working to a total strain of 2 at temperatures of 500-900C resulted in the development of submicrocrystalline structures with mean grain sizes of 300-850 nm, depending on processing conditions. The new fine grains resulted mainly from a kind of continuous reactions, which can be referred to as continuous dynamic recrystallization. Namely, the new grains resulted from a progressive evolution of strain-induced grain boundaries, the number and misorientation of which gradually increased during deformation. In contrast to hot working accompanied by discontinuous dynamic recrystallization, when the dynamic grain size can be expressed by a power law function of temperature compensated strain rate as D ~ Z-0.4, much weaker temperature/strain rate dependence of D ~ Z-0.1was obtained for the warm working.

The post-dynamic recrystallization of an ultrafine grained 304-type austenitic stainless steel was studied during annealing at 800 and 1000°C for 7.5 to 480 minutes. The initial ultrafine grained microstructures have been developed by continuous dynamic recrystallization during isothermal multidirectional forging to a total strain of ∼4 at temperatures ranging from 500 to 800°C. The post-dynamic recrystallization involves a rapid softening at early stage of annealing followed by a sluggish decrease of hardness upon further annealing. A transient recrystallization at early annealing stage results in somewhat heterogeneous microstructures in the samples subjected to previous deformation at relatively low temperatures of 500-600°C. This structural heterogeneity disappears with increasing the annealing time. Commonly, the post-dynamic recrystallization behavior can be considered as a kind of continuous recrystallization.

Abstract Metals with a bimodal grain size distribution have been found to have both high strength and good ductility. However, the coordinated deformation mechanisms underneath the ultrafine-grains (UFGs) and coarse grains (CGs) still remain undiscovered yet. In present work, a bimodal Cu with 80% volume fraction of recrystallized micro-grains was prepared by the annealing of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) processed ultrafine grained Cu at 473 K for 40 min. The bimodal Cu has an optimal strength-ductility combination (yield strength of 220 MPa and ductility of 34%), a larger shear fracture angle of 83∘ and a larger area reduction of 78% compared with the as-ECAPed UFG Cu (yield strength of 410 MPa, ductility of 16%, shear fracture angle of 70∘, area reduction of 69%). Grain refinement of recrystallized micro-grains and detwinning of annealing growth twins were observed in the fractured bimodal Cu tensile specimen. The underlying deformation mechanisms for grain refinement and detwinning were analyzed and discussed.

The grain refinement mechanisms along the material flow path in pure and high-purity Al were examined, using the marker insert and tool stop action methods, during the rapid cooling friction stir welding using liquid CO2. In pure Al subjected to a low welding temperature of 0.56Tm (Tm: melting point), the resultant microstructure consisted of a mixture of equiaxed and elongated grains, including the subgrains. Discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX), continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX), and geometric dynamic recrystallization are the potential mechanisms of grain refinement. Increasing the welding temperature and Al purity encouraged dynamic recovery, including dislocation annihilation and rearrangement into subgrains, leading to the acceleration of CDRX and inhibition of DDRX. Both C- and B/-type shear textures were developed in microstructures consisting of equiaxed and elongated grains. In addition, DDRX via high-angle boundary bulging resulted in the development of the 45° rotated cube texture. The B/ shear texture was strengthened for the fine microstructure, where equiaxed recrystallized grains were fully developed through CDRX. In these cases, the texture is closely related to grain structure development.

ABSTRACTOxide dispersion strengthened austenitic stainless steel (ODS316), which is based on advanced SUS316 steel, has been developed by mechanically alloying and hot extrusion. Hafnium and titanium were added to make a fine distribution of oxide particles. The stability of oxide particles dispersed in ODS316 under irradiation was evaluated after 250 keV Fe+ irradiation up to high doses at 500 °C. TEM observation and EDS analysis indicated that fine complex oxide particles with Y, Hf and Ti were mainly dispersed in the matrix. There are no significant changes in the distribution and the size of oxide particles after irradiation. It was also revealed that the constitution ratio of Ti in complex oxide appeared to be decreased after irradiation. This diffuse-out of Ti during irradiation could be explained by the difference in oxide formation energy among alloying elements.

Magnetic Characterization

SUS316L austenitic stainless steel was subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) by the method of high pressure torsion (HPT). From a fully austenitic matrix (γ), HPT resulted in phase transformation from g®a¢. The largest volume fraction of 70% a¢ was obtained at 0.2 revolutions per minute (rpm) while was limited to 3% at 5rpm. Pre-straining of g by HPT at 5rpm decreases the volume fraction of a¢ obtained by HPT at 0.2rpm. By HPT at 5rpm, a¢®g reverse transformation was observed for a¢ produced by HPT at 0.2rpm.

The martensite induced in three types of austenitic stainless steel, which indicate the different stability of the austenitic phase (γ), were estimated by the resistivity measured during the tensile deformation or compressive deformation at the temperatures 77, 187 and 293 K. The resistivity curves were strongly dependent on the deformation mode. The volume fraction of the martensite (α’) was also affected by the deformation mode. The ε phase, which is the precursor of the martensite and is induced from the commencement of the deformation, decreased the resistivity. However, lots of defects generated by the deformation-induced martensite increased the resistivity. The experimental facts and the results shown by the modified parallelepiped model suggested a complicated transformation process depending on each deformation mode. The results shown by the model also suggested a linear relation between the resistivity and the martensite volume at the region of the martensite formation. The fact denoted that the resistivity is mostly not controlled by the austenite, ε phase and martensite, but by the defects induced due to the deformation-induced martensite.
