Abstract

Severe cold-rolling was applied on solution annealed Fe-Ni-Mn steel with fully lath martensite structure to obtain ultrafine-grained structure. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were employed to investigate the microstructural evolution after severe cold-rolling. HRTEM images showed the typical deformed structure consisting of lamellar dislocation cell blocks. HRTEM study also revealed strain-induced reverse martensitic transformation (activated during grain refinement). It was assumed that severe plastic deformation route and related deformation mode were responsible for microstructural evolutions. X-ray diffraction (XRD) diagram revealed 7% (volume fraction) reverted austenite after final deformation pass. Moreover, HRTEM images revealed nano-void nucleation at the interface of severely deformed martensite and reverted austenite presumably due to high strain energy of misfit and molar volume difference between the austenite and the martensite. It seems that the coalescence of nano-voids could lead to the formation of microvoids in the microstructure.
