Abstract
2205 duplex stainless steel suffers poor hot workability, especially whe1981hot-deformed. This investigation aims to determine the strain rate’s effect on the material’s dynamic recrystallization after heat treatment. Secondly, to ascertain the critical strain at which the recrystallization occurs. The as-rolled material was subjected to heat treatment at 1340 °C for some time. After heat treatment, the yielded equiaxed austenite morphology was used for this investigation. Gleeble 1500™ thermo-mechanical was used as a simulant in uniaxial compression mode. The deformation temperature was set at 850 °C, with maximum strain at 0.8 and carried out at 0.001 s-1, 0.01 s-1, 0.1 s-1, 1 s-1, 5 s-1 strain rates. The microstructure of before and after heat-treatment was evaluated using a light microscope, while the critical factors (stress and strain) were determined through the stress-strain curve. It was observed that the lowest strain rate generated the maximum critical stress and critical strain at 191.99 MPa and 0.08283, respectively. However, at the highest strain rate, the maximum critical stress and critical strain experienced by the material were at 336.32 MPa and 0.17577. Overall, it was established that the applied stain rate influenced the critical strain and stress of the material. It can be concluded that dynamic recrystallization can occur at any strain rate, but the applied stress determines the extent of the phenomenon.
