Abstract

Effect of plastic deformation on the lattice misorientation in lath martensite was investigated by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD). As-quenched rod-like specimens were plastically deformed until 9000 N, 14000 N, 19000 N and 21000 N of tensile loading. Grain average misorientation maps were collected by EBSD. It was shown that the average misorientation during plastic deformation increased from 0.887 to 1.156 degrees. Results showed that the density of geometrically necessary dislocations, which caused the lattice misorientation, slightly increased during plastic deformation of lath martensite.
