Abstract
Mechanisms of structure fragmentation and strengthening of single crystals of a Hadfield steel after warm torsion under high-pressure torsion (HPT) and subsequent annealing in a temperature range of 400–800°C have been studied. Multiple twinning and formation of ultrafine carbides upon HPT at 400°C (P = 5 GPa) promote rapid fragmentation of the microstructure. They are responsible for the high mechanical properties of the steel after HPT and the thermal stability of the microstructure up to an annealing temperature of 500°C.
