We have performed in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments on low-alloyed multiphase TRIP steels during cooling, to monitor the martensitic transformation of individual austenite grains within the bulk material. Direct experimental evidence is presented that the stability of the austenite grains is controlled not only by the local carbon level but also by the grain size. This new quantitative information on the martensitic transformation in complex microstructures is of great importance for the design of martensite-based metallic materials.

Probing the impact of grain size distribution on the deformation behavior in fine-grained austenitic stainless steel: A critical analysis of unimodal structure versus bimodal structure
2024, Materials Science and Engineering: A
This study investigated the effect of grain size distribution on the deformation behavior in fine-grained (FG) austenitic stainless steels (γ-SSs). Commercial Cr–Mn–N γ-SS was selected as the coarse-grained (CG) specimen, which was cold rolled and then annealed at 1000 °C for 60 s and 700 °C for 3600 s to obtain FG specimens with similar grain sizes but different grain size distributions. The CG specimens annealed at 1000 °C for 60 s and 700 °C for 3600 s were referred to as unimodal-FG and bimodal-FG specimens, respectively. The tensile properties revealed that the yield strength was enhanced from 383 MPa to 685 MPa when the grain size was refined from CG (10.7 μm) to FG (∼1.8 μm). Moreover, the bimodal-FG specimen exhibited a higher total elongation of 48% than 36.5% for the unimodal-FG specimen. Transmission electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and X-ray diffraction were used to identify the microstructural characteristics during tension. The results indicated that the main deformation mechanisms of γ-SSs specimens during tension were dislocation generation and accumulation at the initial stage, deformation twinning at the intermediate stage, and deformation-induced martensite (DIM) at the final stage. Compared with the unimodal-CG counterpart, grain refinement in the unimodal-FG specimens restricted the formation of DIM due to the increased austenite stability. A newly discovered phenomenon was that the bimodal-FG specimens promoted the formation of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) and DIM compared to the unimodal-FG, which was due to the uneven deformation in grains located on hetero-boundaries (HBs). Moreover, the bimodal-FG specimen was preferentially formed DIM on HBs, especially in the smaller grains side rather than inside larger grains due to the higher stress concentration in smaller grains.
Grain-level effects on in-situ deformation-induced phase transformations in a complex-phase steel using 3DXRD and EBSD
2024, Acta Materialia
A novel complex-phase steel alloy is conceived with a deliberately unstable austenite, $γ$ , phase that enables the deformation-induced martensitic transformations (DIMT) to be explored at low levels of plastic strain. The DIMT was thus explored, in-situ and non-destructively, using both far-field Three-Dimensional X-ray Diffraction (3DXRD) and Electron Back-Scatter Diffraction (EBSD). Substantial $α^{'}$ martensite formation was observed under 10 % applied strain with EBSD, and many $ɛ$ grain formation events were captured with 3DXRD, indicative of the indirect transformation of martensite via the reaction $γ \to ɛ \to α^{'}$ . Using $ɛ$ grain formation as a direct measurement of $γ$ grain stability, the influence of several microstructural properties, such as grain size, orientation and neighbourhood configuration, on $γ$ stability have been identified. Larger $γ$ grains were found to be less stable than smaller grains. Any $γ$ grains oriented with {100} parallel to the loading direction preferentially transformed with lower stresses. Parent $ɛ$ -forming $γ$ grains possessed a neighbourhood with increased ferritic/martensitic volume fraction. This finding shows, unambiguously, that the nearby presence of $α$ and $α^{'}$ promotes $ɛ$ formation in neighbouring grains. The minimum strain work criterion model for $ɛ$ variant prediction was also evaluated, which worked well for most grains. However, $ɛ$ -forming grains with a lower stress were less well predicted by the model, indicating crystal-level behaviour must be considered for accurate $ɛ$ formation. The findings from this work are considered key for the future design of alloys where the deformation response can be controlled by tailoring microstructure and local or macroscopic crystal orientations.
Behavior of TRIP-aided medium Mn steels investigated by in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments and microstructure-based micromechanical modelling
2024, International Journal of Plasticity
Medium Mn steels belong to a new generation of advanced high-strength steels whose superior mechanical properties are explained by their ultrafine-grained ferrite/austenite/martensite microstructures and a possible transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) related to the stability of retained austenite. The mechanical behaviour of a set of model medium Mn steels is investigated during tensile testing using a combination of high-energy X-ray diffraction (HEXRD) and digital image correlation (DIC) measurements. HEXRD allows for the time-resolved determination of transformation kinetics and in situ stress partitioning among the different constituting phases. DIC provides precise spatiotemporal information on the strain evolution along the gauge length, particularly at the position of the diffracting volume. These experiments served to calibrate an innovative mean field micromechanical model which accounts for the local behaviour of each phase, as well as the strain-induced martensitic transformation (SIMT) of retained austenite. The work-hardening of both austenite and ferrite is modeled using a dislocation-based size-sensitive approach which includes kinematic hardening contributions. The behaviours of fresh and strain-induced martensite are predicted using a genuine model derived from the continuous composite approach. The model for SIMT is based on a thermodynamic assessment of the stability of retained austenite. The overall model is thus sensitive to the size of the microstructure components, their local chemistry, and their respective stability.
Crystallography of transformation products with different cooling rates in low-carbon alloy steel and its effect on low-temperature toughness uniformity of heavy plates
2024, Journal of Materials Research and Technology
The crystallography of transformation products with different cooling rates has been investigated in a typical low-carbon alloy steel, and its effect on low-temperature impact toughness uniformity in the thickness direction of heavy steel plates has been elucidated. The results show that both the full lath martenite (LM) microstructure transformed at the cooling rate of 45 K s⁻¹ and granular bainite (GB) + lath bainite (LB) + LM microstructure transformed at the cooling rates of 3∼6 K s⁻¹ have higher density of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs). The density of HAGBs in the full GB microstructure transformed at the cooling rate of 0.5 K s⁻¹ is the lowest, and that in the LB + LM microstructure transformed at the cooling rates of 15∼22 K s⁻¹ is the middle. In the GB + LB + LM microstructure, the division of austenite by multi-stage transformation reduces the LB and LM transformation temperatures, contributing to a weakening of variant selection and a tendency to close-packed plane grouping. Therefore, the GB + LB + LM microstructure achieves the refinement degree similar to the full LM microstructure, but slightly higher than that of the LB + LM microstructure. For the 60 mm thick heavy steel plate with ultra-fast cooling, the cooling rate decreases from 41 K s⁻¹ at the subsurface to 14 K s⁻¹ at the 1/4-thickness and then to 4 K s⁻¹ at the 1/2-thickness. The full LM microstructure, LB + LM microstructure, and GB + LB + LM microstructure are obtained in sequence, resulting in a more uniform density of HAGBs. Consequently, the relatively uniform impact toughness at 143 K in the thickness direction is achieved with a small difference of ∼30 J.
Effect of grain size on the intrinsic mechanical stability of austenite in transformation-induced plasticity steels: The competition between martensite transformation and dislocation slip
2023, Journal of Materials Science and Technology
An austenitic stainless steel was employed to clarify the effect of grain size on the intrinsic mechanical stability of austenite in transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels. Contrary to the general impression in TRIP-assisted steels with multi-phase microstructure, grain refinement decreases the mechanical stability of austenite in the single-phase austenitic steel. The unexpected phenomenon was explained in the essence of austenite mechanical stability by theoretical calculation and experimental verification: dislocation slip and martensite transformation are two competing deformation mechanisms during plastic deformation of austenite, the stress for martensite transformation will be lower than that for dislocation slip when the grain size is smaller than a critical value. Therefore, the yielding mechanism of austenite will transit from dislocation slip to martensite transformation with the refinement of austenite grains.
Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of metastable austenitic medium Mn steel fabricated by warm caliber rolling
2023, Materials Chemistry and Physics
Warm caliber rolling at 550, 600, and 650 °C were carried out to refine the austenite grains of medium Mn steel by dynamic recrystallization (DRX). The effect of rolling temperature on the microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties of metastable austenitic steel was investigated in detail. The results show that the hierarchical structure of coarse fiber grains (CFGs) and ultrafine grains (UFGs) is obtained by warm caliber rolling method. With the increasing rolling temperature, more obvious DRX behavior occurs, resulting in a high percentage of UFGs. The preactive TRIP effect shortens the yield stress plateau in tensile stress-strain curves caused by CFGs with low stability. Furthermore, the unique hierarchical structure induces crack deflection and delamination, and significantly improves the impact toughness of medium Mn steel at room temperature. However, at the low temperature of −80 °C, CFGs are easy to induce martensite transformation, which seriously deteriorates the impact toughness.
