in this study, the effects cold rolling and annealing parameters during thermomechanical processing of the aisi 201ln stainless steel were investigated. the cast samples were homogenized, hot-rolled and solution-annealed to acquire a suitable microstructure for the subsequent thermomechanical treatment. unidirectional and transverse multi-pass cold rolling at 25, 0 and -15 °c was carried out to...

in this study, the effects of nitrogen addition on the production of ultrafine/nano grained aisi 201l stainlesssteel by advanced thermo-mechanical process were investigated. cast samples were first homogenized at 1200 °c for 4 h, hot-rolled at 1100 °c and finally, solution-annealed at 1150 °c for 2.5 h. unidirectional and cross multipass cold rolling at 25 °c was carried out to 90% reduction in...

This paper presents the results for the effect of different methods of thermomechanical processing on the mechanical properties and electrochemical behavior of metastable β alloy Ti-20.6Nb-13.6Zr-0.5V (TNZV). The thermomechanical processing included hot working, solution heat treatments at different temperatures, and cooling rates in addition to aging. The thermomechanical processing conditions...

Due to thermomechanical hysteresis in solids undergoing martensitic type of structure transformations the macroscopic strain and volume fraction of martensite are not a single-valued function of stress and temperature, but they become functions of the process of their change. Some of the phenomenological approaches describing ma~n thermomechanical properties of shape-memory alloys (SMA) connect...

Ni-Mn-Ga is a ferromagnetic shape memory alloy that deforms by twin boundary motion. The magneto-mechanical properties depend strongly on the twin microstructure. A thermomechanical treatment was applied to a Ni-Mn-Ga single crystal with coexisting 10M and 14M martensite structures to create twin boundaries and align the short crystallographic c direction preferentially perpendicular to the sur...

The texture of cold-rolled and heat-treated TiNi sheet has been measured and designated as {110}(1i0)p. This material has been used in thermal fatigue tests during and after which the anisotropy and development of several thermomechanical properties, such as transformation temperatures and strains, have been measured. Furthermore, the resulting changes of texture after thermal fatigue are prese...

One of the most promising ways to produce a grain-refined microstructure in some steel materials is the thermomechanical processing route of subcritical recrystallization annealing of a cold-deformed martensite structure. In the present study, the microstructural evolutions and the associated recrystallization kinetics under various subcritical annealing heat treatment conditions are explored i...

the mechanical properties and microstructural developments of 321 stainless steel during thermomechanicalprocess were investigated. the repetitive cold rolling and subsequent annealing wereconducted to achieve nanocrystalline structure in an aisi 321 stainless steel. heavily cold rolling at−20°c was conducted to form martensite in metastable austenitic steel. the process was followed byannealin...

The alloys vitL T~lernioelastic Martensicic Transfornation, like the Cu-Zn--el, exhibit, a£ ter a thermomechanical treatment named "training", The Two Way Shape Memory Effect. We have compared internal friction measurements versus amplitude for a "trained" and a "virgin" sample. Tie obtained results are coherent with the existence in the "trained" saruple of particular sets of dislocations. The...
