Abstract
AbstractAnnealing with oncurrent deformation has been carried out on a bainitic high-carbon steel in a temperature range just below the lower transformation temperature, i.e. ∼850 – 975K.The enhancement of carbide coarsening was measured during hot torsion under conditions of (a) constant strain rate and (b) constant experiment duration. The carbide coarsening rates are compared with results obtained from earlier experiments employing isothermal annealing without deformation, and the enhancement of coarsening due to concurrent deformation is quantitatively assessed from measurements of the mean particle radius and mean free ferrite path.From kinetic data, the rate limiting step in coarsening during concurrent deformation is identified as the self-diffusion of iron and two dominant mechanisms are proposed which result in a discontinuity of coarsening rate at critical strain levels. The effective diffusion coefficient for coarsening is shown to be a linear function of strain rate and the strain rate coeffic...
