Abstract
A comprehensive characterization of room temperature deformation microstructures was carried out by transmission electron microscopy for ion irradiated and deformed AISI 316LN austenitic stainless steel. Deformation microstructures were produced by a recently developed disk-bend test method and also by a uniaxial tensile test. Cross-slip was dramatically suppressed by the radiation-induced defects and slip occurred predominantly by planar glide of Shockley partial dislocations. Deformed microstructures consisted of piled-up dislocations, nanotwin layers, stacking faults, and defect-reduced dislocation channel bands. Analyses revealed that all these features were different manifestations of the same type of deformation band, namely a composite of overlapping faulted layers produced by Shockley partial dislocations.
