Difference of the phase transformation behavior at deformation-induced layer depending on surface treatment methods was investigated using Fe-33mass%Ni alloy. As specimens, two kinds of specimens were prepared. One specimen has austenite (γ) single structure, and the other specimen consists of both martensite (α’) and γ phases. Using these specimens, shot-peening tests were performed, and then phase transformation behavior induced by the shot-peening was compared with that by sliding wear reported in previous literature. The deformation-induced layer induced by shot-peening has very fine microstructure consisted of both α’ and γ phases. The microstructure in the deformation-induced layer formed by shot-peening becomes similar with increasing duration of shot-peening regardless of initial microstucture. On the other hand, the deformation-induced layer induced by sliding wear is reported to have γ single structure regardless of initial microstructure. This microstructural difference between shot-peening and sliding wear comes from the difference of heat generation during the surface treatment. Therefore, it is concluded that phase transformation behavior in deformation-induced layer depends on surface treatment method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
