Abstract

The severe plastic deformation modification of reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel was performed by sequential extrusion-twist-extrusion (SETE) at 873 K. Mechanical properties and microstructures were investigated by Vickers hardness and nanoindentation tests, metallography (OM), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) for revealing the microstructures evolutions. The results have shown that SETE deformation can synchronously and effectively enhance the strength and plasticity, determining by the synergism fine-grain strengthening and dislocation strengthening through dynamic recrystallization and shear deformation. However, temperature (600 K) has little effect on the strength and microstructures (grain refinement and uniformity, dislocation density). The calculated standard deviations of grain size for RAFM samples are 5.3, 4.9, 2.8, and 2.2, respectively. The maximum values of fitted ellipse aspect ratio (R) for RAFM samples are 9.79, 8.88, 5.47, and 5.90, and their fractions of R< 3 are 82, 82, 88, and 83%. SETE deformation could enhance the plasticity through the improvement of the synergism grain refinement and uniformity.
