The repetitive cold rolling and subsequent annealing were conducted to obtain nanocrystalline structure. Heavy cold rolling （90% reduction） at ＋20 and -20 ℃ was carded out to induce the formation of α′-martensite from metastable austenitic material. The process was followed by annealing treatment at 700-900 ℃ for 0.5-30 min. Effects of process parameters, i.e., ＂reduction percentage,＂ ＂rolling temperature,＂ ＂annealing temperature＂ and ＂annealing time＂, on the microstructural development were considered. Microstructural evolutions were conducted using feritscope, X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope. Hardness of the specimens was measured by Vickers method. Results revealed that the higher thickness reduction and lower rolling temperature provided more martensite volume fraction and further hardness. X-ray diffraction patterns and feritoscopic results indicated that saturated strain （εs） was reduced from 2.3 to 0.9 when temperature declined from ＋20 to -20 ℃. The smallest grain size （about 70 nm） was achieved in the condition of cold rolling at -20℃followed by annealing at 750 ℃for 5 min.展开更多

These problems primarily include the changes to the microstructure of the slab during the heating process, the formation and removal of deformation - induced martensite during cold rolling, and the effects of the annealing process on the surface oxide structure. A reasonable manufacturing process has been proposed on the basis of the research results and high-quality cold-rolled strips of low nickel austenitic stainless steel have been produced.展开更多
