“…Moreover, this layer only appears at the wear track, whereas there are no indications of ultrafine-grains outside the track, as evidenced in Figure 8d. The formation of this layer due to plastic deformation is in agreement with a previous study carried out by the authors [20] where the cross-section analysis of shot peened specimens of the same here studied stainless steel conditions revealed the formation of an ultrafine-grain layer of 0.5 to 1 μm of thickness. These observations are also corroborated by several studies which describe that severe plastic deformation (SPD)…”

“…The most widely accepted interpretation [36,37,38,39] is that not only the total amount of induced martensite is significant, but also the rate of transformation for a given plastic strain and at which point it takes place, are the factors that govern the ductility. In this sense, our previous study [20] showed that for cold rolled specimens martensite transformation occurs rapidly in comparison with the same situation for annealed specimens, resulting in abrupt work hardening and, consequently, premature fracture. Considering the foregoing, it seems clear that plowing volume of 20CR and 40CR specimens decreases progressively as increasing sliding distance.…”

“…The experimental material was a commercial AISI 301 LN austenitic stainless steel elsewhere [20] and also summarized in Table 1. For wear tests, specimens were polished up to roughness values lower than R a = 0.7 m, following the guidelines of ASTM G99 standard [31].…”

The effect of pre-existing martensite on the sliding wear behaviour of a commercial metastable austenitic stainless steel was investigated. Two different steel conditions were considered: annealed (with a fully austenitic microstructure) and cold rolled, consisting of mixtures of austenite and martensite. Wear tests were carried out using ball on disc technique at constant velocity and different sliding distances. Correlation between microstructure and wear mechanisms was performed by X-ray diffraction, electron back-scattered diffraction and focus ion beam. Results show that wear resistance decrease at increasing the amount of pre-existing martensite. In this sense, the strain-induced martensite developed at higher degree for cold rolled samples which strengths the surface and consequently reduces plowing wear mechanism, typical of ductile abrasive wear. The detailed analysis of the wear track demonstrated the formation of ultrafine-grains layer just below the surface not only for annealed but also for cold rolled steel conditions. For both cases, the main wear mechanism developed for the studied sliding distances was tribocorrosion.

Grain size effects on the properties of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel are studied. Yield stress (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) increased with decreasing grain size (Hall–Petch law) while the difference between YS and UTS decreased. Three distinct stages for work‐hardening rate are identified: I) initial rapid fall until reaching a minimum value, II) subsequent rise to a maximum due to the transformation‐induced plasticity (TRIP) effect, which is found to enhance by increasing grain size, and III) final fall until the onset of necking. More in‐depth analysis on the mechanical stability of austenite reveals that for below‐average grain size of ≈50 μm, by decreasing grain size, the TRIP effect diminishes; whereas for grain size larger than ≈50 μm, by increasing grain size, the TRIP effect becomes less pronounced. Due to the strong TRIP effect, high incremental work‐hardening exponents (n‐values of higher than 0.8) and low‐yield ratios (smaller than 0.5) are observed. It is also found that when the average grain size increases, the tensile toughness and the size and depth of dimples increase. The latter is responsible for the tardiness of the microcavity coalescence, which is indicative of high ductility of this austenitic alloy.

The sequence of structural changes produced in two deformed microstructures of austenitic stainless steel elaborated by a multipass unidirectional cold rolling (CR) and a two‐step one, to a 75% thickness reduction, is followed by dilatometric experiments. The two materials show different dilatometric behaviors. X‐ray diffraction and microhardness measurements are performed to underlie the observed dilatometric behaviors. The material subjected to multipass unidirectional CR shows an unusual dilatometric behavior. The first heating stage leads to the occurrence of the recovery reaction in competition with the ε‐martensite reversion. When the temperature increases between 550 and 780 °C, the reversion of deformation‐induced α‐martensite takes place and leads to a complicated dilatometric anomaly. Further increase in temperature leads to the occurrence of the recrystallization transformation. However, the material subjected to two‐step CR shows a quite usual dilatometric behavior which is explained by the occurrence of several reactions in the following order: 1) T < 300 °C, the recovery reaction, 2) 300 < T < 680 °C, the ferro‐ to paramagnetic transformation of α‐martensite, the reversion of ε‐martensite, and the athermal reversion of α‐martensite, 3) 680 < T < 760 °C, thermal reversion of DIM, and then 4) at T > 760 °C, the recrystallization.
