The formation of submicrocrystalline structure during severe plastic deformation and its effect on mechanical properties of an S304H austenitic stainless steel with chemical composition of Fe – 0.1C – 0.12N – 0.1Si – 0.95Mn – 18.4Cr – 7.85Ni – 3.2Cu – 0.5Nb – 0.01P – 0.006S (all in mass%) were studied. The severe plastic deformation was carried out by high pressure torsion (HPT) at two different temperatures, i.e., room temperature or 400°C. HPT at room temperature or 400°C led to the formation of a fully austenitic submicrocrystalline structure. The grain size and strength of the steels with ultrafine-grained structures produced by cold or warm HPT were almost the same. The ultimate tensile strengths were 1950 MPa and 1828 MPa after HPT at room temperature and 400°C, respectively.

SUS316L austenitic stainless steel was subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD) by the method of high pressure torsion (HPT). From a fully austenitic matrix (γ), HPT resulted in phase transformation from g®a¢. The largest volume fraction of 70% a¢ was obtained at 0.2 revolutions per minute (rpm) while was limited to 3% at 5rpm. Pre-straining of g by HPT at 5rpm decreases the volume fraction of a¢ obtained by HPT at 0.2rpm. By HPT at 5rpm, a¢®g reverse transformation was observed for a¢ produced by HPT at 0.2rpm.

Type 316 steels have been heavily utilized as the structural material in many construction equipment and infrastructures. This paper reports the characterization of degradation in 316 austenitic stainless steel during the plastic deformation. The in-situ EBSD results revealed that, with the increase of plastic strain, the band contrast (BC) value progressively decreased in both grain and grain boundaries, and the target surface becomes uneven after the plastic tensile, which indicates that the increase of surface roughness. Meanwhile, the KAM and ρGND values are low in the origin specimen but increased significantly after the in-situ tensile. The results indicated that the KAM and ρGND are closely related to the deformation degree of the materials, which can be used as the indicator for assessing the degradation of 316 steel. Besides, the re-orientation of grain occurred after the tensile deformation, which can be recognized from the lattice orientation and local orientation maps.
