چکیده

تحولات ریز ساختاری در حین عملیات آنیل فولاد زنگ نزن آستنیتی 304 پس از نورد سرد مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت و مشخص شد که سه مرحله مجزا وجود دارد که شامل بازگشت مارتنزیت به آستنیت، تبلور مجدد آستنیت باقی مانده و رشد دانه می‌باشد. بازگشت مارتنزیت به آستنیت منجر به تولید ساختار فوق ریزدانه شد. با این وجود، تبلور مجدد آستنیت باقی مانده، تشکیل ساختار هم محور را به تاخیر انداخت و سبب شد که دانه های ریز آستنیت بازگشت یافته نیز رشد کنند و ریزساختاری با متوسط اندازه دانه بین 1 تا 2 میکرومتر به دست آمد. بررسی خواص مکانیکی نشان داد که بازگشت مارتنزیت به آستنیت و تولید ساختار ریزدانه منجر به افزایش چشمگیر استحکام نهایی به میزان 40 درصد می شود. همچنین ادامه آنیل برای انجام تبلور مجدد در آستنیت باقی مانده برای تولید ساختار هم محور نهایی منجر به کاهش استحکام و بهبود انعطاف پذیری می گردد. به این شکل می توان ریزساختار و خواص مکانیکی فولادهای زنگ نزن آستنیتی را تحت کنترل قرار داد.

چکیده [English]

Microstructural evolution during annealing of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel following cold rolling was evaluated. It was revealed that three annealing stages are available: Reversion of martensite to austenite, recrystallization of the retained austenite, and grain growth. Reversion of martensite to austenite resulted to the development of an ultrafine grained microstructure. However, the recrystallization of the retained austenite postponed the formation of an equiaxed microstructure, during which, the fine austenite grains become coarser and a microstructure with average grain size between 1 and 2 µm was obtained. Evaluation of mechanical properties revealed that the reversion of martensite to austenite and the resultant grain refinement enhanced the tensile strength by 40%. Moreover, further annealing for the occurrence of the recrystallization in the retained austenite to obtain an equiaxed microstructure resulted in the decline of tensile strength and enhancement of ductility. In this way, it is possible to control the microstructure and mechanical properties of austenitic stainless steels.
