Multiple deformed substructures including dislocation cells, nanotwins (NTs) and martensite were introduced in super austenitic stainless steels (SASSs) by cryogenic rolling (Cryo-R, 77 K/22.1 mJ·m). With the reduction increasing, a low stacking fault energy (SFE) and increased flow stress led to the activation of secondary slip and the occurrence of NTs and martensite nano-laths, while only dislocation tangles were observed under a heavy reduction by cold-rolling (Cold-R, 293 K/49.2 mJ·m). The multiple precursors not only possess variable deformation stored energy, but also experience competition between recrystallization and reverse transformation during subsequent annealing, thus contributing to the formation of a heterogeneous structure (HS). The HS, which consists of bimodal-grained austenite and retained martensite simultaneously, showed a higher yield strength (1032 MPa) and a larger tensile elongation (9.1%) than the annealed coarse-grained Cold-R sample. The superior strength-ductility and strain hardening originate from the synergistic effects of grain refinement, dislocation and hetero-deformation-induced hardening.
通过低温轧制(Cryo-R,77 K/22.1 mJ·m)在超级奥氏体不锈钢(SASSs)中引入了包括位错胞、纳米孪晶(NTs)和马氏体在内的多种变形亚结构。随着压下率的增加,低堆垛层错能(SFE)和流动应力的增加导致二次滑移的激活以及NTs和马氏体纳米板条的出现,而在冷轧(Cold-R,293 K/49.2 mJ·m)的大压下率下仅观察到位错缠结。这些多种前驱体不仅具有可变的形变储能,而且在随后的退火过程中经历再结晶和逆转变之间的竞争,从而有助于形成异质结构(HS)。由双峰晶粒奥氏体和残余马氏体同时组成的HS显示出比退火态粗晶Cold-R样品更高的屈服强度(1032 MPa)和更大的拉伸伸长率(9.1%)。优异的强度-延展性和应变硬化源于晶粒细化、位错和异质变形诱导强化的协同效应。
