Abstract
This study investigated recrystallization behavior and grain growth of additively manufactured oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) and non-ODS CrNiCo and GRX810 alloys during isothermal annealing at 1100 °C. Microstructural evolution was characterized using EBSD measurements. The presence of Y2O3 nano-particles in the ODS alloys effectively suppressed recrystallization and contributed to maintaining a stable microstructure even after 400 h of annealing, as confirmed by TEM observations. In contrast, non-ODS alloys exhibited recrystallization, where the CrNiCo demonstrated faster recrystallization kinetics than GRX810. The slower recrystallization in the GRX810 alloy was attributed to the pinning effect of MC carbides on some grain boundaries. Misorientation analysis revealed a transformation from low-angle to high-angle grain boundaries during the annealing of non-ODS alloys, indicating the formation of new recrystallized grains and twin boundaries. Grain orientation spread (GOS) maps quantified the recrystallized fraction, confirming the inhibition of recrystallization in ODS alloys and the accelerated recrystallization in the non-ODS CrNiCo alloy. The grain growth was limited after prolonged annealing, correlated with the pinning and solute drag effects.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
