Microstructure development in a high-nickel austenitic stainless steel using EBSD during in situ tensile deformation

Abstract

Plastic deformation of surface grains has been observed by electron backscatter diffraction technique during in situ tensile testing of a high-nickel austenitic stainless steel. The evolution of low- and high-angle boundaries as well as the orientation changes within individual grains has been studied. The number of low-angle boundaries and their respective misorientation increases with increasing strain and some of them also evolve into high-angle boundaries leading to grain fragmentation. The annealing twin boundaries successively lose their integrity with increasing strain. The changes in individual grains are characterized by an increasing spread of orientations and by grains moving towards more stable orientations with 〈111〉 or 〈001〉 parallel to the tensile direction. No deformation twins were observed and deformation was assumed to be caused by dislocation slip only

Investigations of size effect on formability and microstructure evolution in SS304 thin foils

“…Figure 10 depicts the decrease in twin fraction with deformation for all the foils. 29 Twin density in the 30 µm foil under US and BS strain path is comparable, whereas it is lower in the PS strain path. In the 50 µm sample, twin density is higher for PS and BS as compared to the US strain path.…”

In Situ EBSD Study on the Microstructural Transformation of the Ni5W Substrate for Coated Conductors

“…Chen et al (2013) demonstrate that as the strain increases, each grain with a different initial orientation acts differently, which also influences the activation of slip systems. Yvell et al (2018) investigated the orientation profile and IPF maps under increasing strain, and observed that grains with different orientations hardly change in a similar manner. The range of misorientation changes in G1-G4 marked in this article also varies.…”

Directed Energy Deposition of AISI 316L Stainless Steel Powder: Effect of Process Parameters

“…In this work, the Taylor's factor was considered equal to 3, as also suggested in Yvell et al for 316L [19]. The parameters mentioned above were derived with a non-linear fitting performed in Origin2018 software using the Levenberg-Marquardt least square method.…”
