Abstract
Hot deformability and fracture of as-cast Fe-Cr-Mn-Ni stainless steel ingots with high nitrogen and high carbon contents were studied. Effective stress-strain curve indicates a decrease of the UTS from 510MPa to 90MPa with increase of temperatures from 600°C to 1200°C. Effective stress-strain curves exhibited typical work hardening until the final stage of fracture from 600°C up to 900°C. The fracture elongation decreased from 600°C with the increase of temperature up 850°C, but started to increase appreciably as the work softening becomes dominant in the stress-strain curves above 950°C, suggesting the increase of ductility above 950°C is associated with dynamic recrystallization. The high temperature deformability was enhanced above 1000°C by homogenization of the as-cast alloy due to the dissolution and redistribution of segregated particles, providing the homogeneous distribution of the nucleation site of dynamic recrystallization. . The presence of fatal crack at 1,250°C and the loss of hot ductility can be attributed to the partial melting in austenite grain boundaries at high temperatures.
