Abstract
Uniaxial hot deformation was carried out in a wide range of temperatures (1173 K to 1423 K) and strain rates (0.001 to 10 s−1) in a super austenitic stainless steel employing a Gleeble thermomechanical simulator. The evolution of fine grains due to dynamic recrystallization (DRX) with near-random texture was evident following deformation at strain rates 0.001 to 10 s−1 and temperatures 1173 K to 1273 K. The deformed grains in this domain exhibited the typical formation of 〈110〉//ND or α fiber, and its volume fraction gradually increased when the resistance to deformation increases. Weak deformation texture was persisted in the fine DRX grains (≤ 3 µm) which gradually converted to a strong 〈001〉//ND fiber following grain growth. The deformation texture was simulated by employing a crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM). The texture inhomogeneity was observed in the typical compressed specimen which was associated with variation in stress/strain paths at different locations of the hot compressed specimen. Further, the ∑3 twin boundary evolution was analyzed employing Pande’s relationship and twin-related domains (TRDs) analysis. The growth accident was identified as the major mechanism of ∑3 twin boundary evolution during DRX in this alloy. Moreover, the ∑3 regeneration was also evident in a small domain of hot working (1323 K/0.001 s−1) which was substantiated by texture randomization and formation of relatively larger TRDs in the microstructure. © 2020, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society and ASM International.
