Abstract
The onset of recrystallization during the tensile deformation of austenitic iron has been fully documented for the temperature range 950 to 1350°C and strain-rate range 2.8 × 10-5 to 2.3 × 10-2 s-1. Representative materials are zone-refined iron, electrolytic iron, Fe−0.05 C and Fe−5.2 Mn. In general, the strain at the onset of recrystallization decreases with increasing temperature of deformation and decreasing strain rate. The postponement of recrystallization is favored by prior annealing at temperatures above 1200°C and is greatest for the Fe−5.2 Mn alloy; however, for the range of strain rates used, it is difficult to completely eliminate recrystallization. The effects of test conditions on the onset of recrystallization are discussed in terms of a nucleation process that requires a critical amount of stored energy.
