Abstract

AISI 310S stable austenitic stainless steel was subjected to 90% cryorolling and then annealed at 800 °C for 2–60 min. The effect of annealing time on the microstructure and mechanical properties was studied by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, microhardness and tensile test. The results show that the grain size of AISI 310S stainless steel is refined to the nanometer level after 90% cryorolling, and the grain size is approximately 20 nm. With the increase in annealing time, the degree of grain recrystallization occurs more fully and completely, as the grain begins to grow and then tends to stabilize. The strength and hardness of the annealed specimens decrease with increasing annealing time, while elongation tends to increase. When the annealing time is 10 min, the yield strength increases by about 2 times compared to that of the original austenite (unrolled), and the elongation is also above 20%, which is the best preparation process for ultra-fine grain austenitic stainless steel under this experimental condition. As the annealing time treatment increases, the fracture morphology changes from mixed quasi-cleavage and ductile fracture (after cryorolling) to ductile fracture (after annealing).
