“…At the moment, a large number of studies have been carried out on the features of the stainless-steel tube piercing and rolling processes [17][18][19]. However, most of them have been aimed at studying the wear resistance of the tool, the accuracy of pipes, or the piercing parameters to be selected [20][21][22]. Those who focus their analysis on the microstructure of the material do so through the experimental study of samples collected after the process.…”

The cross-roll piercing and elongation (CPE) is a forming process performed at high temperatures and high strain rates. The final product quality is strongly dependent on its microstructure. In this study, a finite element method (FEM) model was developed to better understand plastic deformation effects on microstructure during CPE and to analyze alternative thermo-mechanical processing routes. Specific models were used to simulate dynamic and meta-dynamic recrystallization (DRX and MDRX) for the processing of superaustenitic stainless steel (SASS). In addition, the CPE of SASS was investigated experimentally. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and chemical changes of the final product were assessed using optical microscopy, hardness testing, X-ray diffraction, and SEM-EDS. The results revealed higher temperatures and strain rates in the exterior area of the shell after piercing, and MDRX occurred in the whole thickness. However, an average grain size reduction of 13.9% occurred only in the shell middle and inner diameters. During elongation, the highest values of the strain rate and DRX were observed in the inner region, exhibiting a grain size reduction of 38%. Spread in terms of grain size and grain shape anisotropy was found to be less accentuated for tube samples as compared to the pierced shells.
