Abstract
The recovery and recrystallization behavior of two commercial quality steels, a Cb(Nb) strengthened high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel and a 304 stainless steel, was studied following hot-working. Specimens were deformed in tension at a constant head velocity of 2 in.Js to reductions-in-area of 30 to 50 pct at temperatures in the austenite range from 1600° to 1900°F. The subsequent annealing behavior was observed at the temperature of deformation. Decreasing recrystallization rates with decreasing temperature andJor deformation were observed. It is suggested that CbC precipitation occurred during annealing of the HSLA steel and accounted for an arrest in the softening behavior. For the 304 stainless steel it is concluded that dynamic recrystallization took place during deformation, that thermal microtwinning was an active recovery mechanism during annealing, and that there was a preference for grain boundaries as nucleation sites for recrystallized grains. These conclusions regarding the annealing behavior of 304 stainless steel were supported by metallographic analysis of specimens water quenched from the temperature of deformation.
