Özet

Stainless steels with Fe/Cr/Ni ratios of 74/18/8, 71/17/12, and 55/20/25 were produced from elemental powders by high energy mechanical alloying at both room and cryogenic temperatures. The effect of mechanical alloying temperature on martensitic transformation, the reversion of deformation-induced martensite-to-austenite upon annealing, and the influence of cooling rate on the thermal stability of reversed austenite upon cooling to room temperature were investigated in detail by in-situ and ex-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Thermo-Calc simulations. A relative comparison of stainless steels after room temperature mechanical alloying indicated that the low nickel-containing steel underwent an almost complete martensitic transformation. However, martensitic transformation by deformation through mechanical alloying at room temperature would not be possible with increasing nickel contents but was created partially at cryogenic temperature, the degree of which depended on the steel composition. The in-situ XRD studies exhibited that the deformation-induced martensite completely transformed to austenite at elevated temperatures. The complete reverse transformation temperature simulated by Thermo-Calc software was found to be lower than that of the experimentally determined ones. Additionally, the different cooling rates from the reversed austenite demonstrated that the slower cooling increased the thermal stability of reversed austenite at room temperature. Graphic
