Dynamic Tensile Behavior of Prior Deformed AISI Type 304 Stainless Steel
摘要
Deformation in metastable austenitic stainless steel induces phase transformation of austenite to martensite when carried out at temperatures below Md. This study examines the influence of prior deformation at temperatures, below and above Md, on the dynamic tensile behavior of AISI type 304 SS. Prior deformation below Md (at 25 °C) as well as above Md (200 and 300 °C) improves the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the material. Remarkably, it is also observed that prior deformation at 25 °C to an equivalent strain
