“…This signifies that the deformation mechanism is dominated by the DRX instead of diffusion or DRV. Combining with other austenitic stainless steels, such as 301, 304, 316, 317, and 904L steels [3,10,32,33], as shown in Fig. 4, there is no doubt that the Q value for hot deformation of as-cast 254SMO SASS is significantly high, indicating that the hot deformation for this alloy is rather difficult.…”
