Abstract
The influence of strain rate and grain size on the hot ductility of an austenitic and aferritic stainless steel has been examined. Samples were cooled from the austenitising temperature to temperatures in the range 1000 to 700°C and tensile tested at strain rates in the range 10−1 to 10−4 S−1. The austenitising temperature was varied to give two grain sizes, coarse, 600 μm and fine, ∼ 03 μm. For both steels, ductility was excellent at fine grain size throughout the temperature range and strain rates examined. The ferritic and austenitic stainless steels both gave ductility troughs at the coarse grain size, but the trough was favoured by higher strain rates in the ferritic steel and lower strain rates in the austenitic steel. The poor ductility was related to the presence of precipitation, mainly at the grain boundaries; this being FeTi phosphides in the case oftheferritic stainless steel and coarse chromium carbides in the austenitic steel. Grain boundary sliding was the major mode of intergranular failure in the austenitic steel while normal microvoid coalescent failure controlled ductility in the ferritic stainless steel.
