Abstract
This study using a 6Ni-0.1C steel confirmed the relationship between the change in a fraction of dynamically transformed ferrite and the dynamic softening in stress-strain curve during dynamic transformation above ortho-equilibrium austenite-to-ferrite transformation temperature. Dynamic softening in stress-strain curve was well-fitted with a form of Avrami equation as a function of strain, and it corresponded with the change in fraction of ferrite. The slope of work-hardening rate was increased due to the additional softening phenomenon, i.e. dynamic transformation, to dynamic recovery of austenite. Dynamic softening of austenite, which has been considered as a typical evidence of dynamic recrystallization, could be interpreted as a response of dynamic transformation to ferrite.
