Low-cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviour of metastable austenitic 301LN steel with different grain sizes – coarse-grained (14 µm) and UFG (1.4 µm) with a grain bimodality – produced by reversion annealing (RA) was investigated. Symmetrical push-pull LCF tests were conducted on flat sheet specimens at room temperature with constant strain rate of 2×10–3 s–1 and constant total strain amplitude ranging from 0.4% to 0.8%. After completion of fatigue tests a ferritescope was adopted for quantitative assessment of volume fraction of deformation induced martensite (DIM). Microstructural changes, distribution and morphology of DIM in the volume of material were characterized at different scales by colour etching, TEM and EBSD techniques. Experimental data on microstructural changes are confronted with the stress-strain response and with the chemical heterogeneity present in the material.
Grain refinement effect on fatigue properties of austenitic stainless steel with deformation induced martensite formation
Chlupová, Alice ; Man, Jiří ; Polák, Jaroslav ; Škorík, Viktor ; Karjalalinen, L.P.
Fatigue properties of metastable austenitic 301LN steel with coarse and ultrafine-grained microstructures were investigated at ambient temperature and the effect of grain refinement was evaluated. Two different microstructural states of material were introduced by different annealing conditions during special thermomechanical treatment. Fatigue life curves were obtained and compared for both coarse-grained and ultrafine- grained states of austenitic stainless steel. Magnetic measurements before, during and after cyclic loading were performed to reveal structural changes, i.e. formation of deformation-induced martensite. Relationship between microstructure refinement, phase composition and fatigue properties was discussed.
