dc.description.abstractIn this study, high-energy mechanical alloying technique was used to produce nanocrystalline stainless steels of three different compositions from elemental powders. The microstructural evolution (grain growth and phase transformation) as a function of alloy compositions and annealing temperatures were investigated by room and high temperature x-ray diffraction experiments, transmission electron microscopy and focused ion beam microscopy. The results revealed that stainless steels with low nickel content (i.e., Fe-18Cr-8Ni) underwent a deformation-induced martensitic transformation during room temperature mechanical alloying. Deformation induced martensitic transformation with increasing nickel content (i.e., Fe-17Cr-12Ni and Fe-20Cr-25Ni) would not be possible by room temperature milling but was created by high strain rate cryogenic processing, the degree to which was compositional dependent. Post process annealing induced the reverse transformation from martensite-to-austenite the ratio of which was found to be a factor of alloy composition and annealing temperature. The real time in-situ x-ray studies showed that the martensite-to-austenite reverse transformation was completed at around 600 degrees C and 800 degrees C for Fe-18Cr-8Ni and Fe-20Cr-25Ni steels, respectively. Microscopy studies revealed a significant enhancement in the resistance to grain growth for Fe-17Cr-12Ni steel over other compositions at elevated temperatures as high as 1200 degrees C. As such, cryogenic processing following by reverse martensitic transformation of high Ni containing alloys provides a pathway for developing higher heat resistant stainless steel alloys.en_US
