Abstract

By isothermal annealing tests, the recrystallization and grain growth behaviors of 316L stainless steel fibers with a diameter of 8 μm were investigated using the optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray texture analysis methods. The average grain size of the fibers with a diameter of 8 μm annealed at different conditions was quantitatively measured. The grain growth equations of the fibers were constructed, and the activation energies for grain growth of the fibers were also determined. Meanwhile, efforts have been paid on analyzing the texture evolution of 316L stainless steel fibers before and after annealing.
