Restoration Processes during Hot Deformation in the δ-ferrite and Austenite Dual Phase Region of AISI430 Ferritic Stainless Steel

The Strain Dependence of Post-Deformation Softening during the Hot Deformation of 304H Stainless Steel

Experiments were carried out in which the dependence of the fractional softening on temperature, time and strain rate was determined in a 304H stainless steel. Three prestrain ranges were identified pertaining to three different post-deformation softening behaviors: 1) prestraining to below the DRX critical strain: strongly strain dependent softening by SRX alone with softening kinetics control...

Ferrite and austenite phase identification in duplex stainless steel using SPM techniques

It can be challenging to properly identify the phases in electro-polished duplex stainless steel using optical microscopy or other characterization techniques. This letter describes magnetic force microscopy to properly identify the phases in electropolished duplex stainless steel. The results are also confirmed PM anoindentation with the current sensing atomic force and scanning Kelvin probe f...

Dynamic Recrystallization under Hot Deformation of a PH Stainless Steel

Dynamic recrystallization, DRX, behaviour of a precipitation hardened, PH, stainless steel was studied in connection with microstructural developments in a compression test. The experimental results showed that the dominant mechanism of softening is DRX, but at high strain rates and low temperatures, ie, high Zener-Holman parameter, Z, work hardening and dynamic recovery, DRV, produced a pancke...
