Abstract
Optimization of structural materials such as austenitic stainless steels, especially through the control of microstructure changes during hot processing, is an obvious industrial concern. Following primary recrystallization during annealing, the increase of the mean grain size affects mechanical properties such as yield strength, deep drawability, and also intergranular corrosion resistance. Despite the importance of this phenomenon, only very few investigations of the grain growth kinetics in austenitic stainless steels have been carried out to date. The aim of this work is to describe grain growth in high purity 18wt% Cr--12wt% Ni steels as compared with other 304 grade alloys.
