Abstract
The deformation characteristics of stainless steel type AISI 316L under compression in the temperature range 20 to 600°C and strain rate range 0.001 to 100 s −1 have been studied with a view to characterizing the flow instabilities occurring in the microstructure. At temperatures lower than 100°C and strain rates higher than 0.1 s −1 316L stainless steel exhibits flow localization whereas dynamic strain aging (DSA) occurs at intermediate temperatures and below 1 s −1 To avoid the above flow instabilities, cold working should be carried out at strain rates less than 0.1 s −1 Warm working of stainless steel type AISI 316L may be done in the temperature and strain rate regime of. 300 to 400°C and 0.001 s −1; 300 to 450°C and 0.01 s −1; 450 to 600°C and 0.1 s −1; 500°C and 1 s −1 since these regions are free from flow instabilities like DSA and flow localization. The continuum criterion, developed on the basis of the principles of maximum rate of entropy production and separability of the dissipation function, predicts accurately all the above instability features.
