Abstract
Superplastic deformation typically occurs in non-ferrous metals at high temperatures, which results in severe surface oxidation and high energy consumption. In this study, we designed and manufactured a nano/ultrafine-grained stainless steel with a dual-phase microstructure that exhibits excellent low-temperature superplastic deformation capability. A maximum tensile elongation of approximately 500% was achieved when the tensile test was conducted at 700 °C with an initial strain rate of 5 × 10⁻⁴ s⁻1. Even after a 500% tensile elongation, the austenite grains in the gauge section of the tensile specimen still maintained an equiaxed grain shape, and the texture also weakened significantly, indicating that grain boundary sliding and grain rotation dominated the deformation process during superplastic flow. The outstanding superplasticity is mainly attributed to the dual-phase microstructure composed of nano/ultrafine austenite grains and martensite.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Research and Technology is a publication of ABM - Brazilian Metallurgical, Materials and Mining Association - and publishes four issues per year also with a free version online (www.jmrt.com.br). The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to Metallurgy, Materials and Minerals research and technology. Appropriate submissions to the Journal of Materials Research and Technology should include scientific and/or engineering factors which affect processes and products in the Metallurgy, Materials and Mining areas.
