Effect of Microstructure on Mechanical Properties of 316 LN Austenitic Stainless Steel
Source abstract
Abstract
The microstructure development of 316 LN austenitic stainless steel (316 LNSS) during the aging process is investigated in this article. The thermal aging processes were conducted at 750 °C with different periods ranging from 50 to 500 h. The metallographic results show that the coherent and incoherent twins were present in the original 316 LNSS grains, but dwindled as the aging period increased. After 50 h of aging, many fine, dispersed particles precipitated from the matrix, which were identified as M23C6 by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Additionally, the impact toughness and Brinell hardness (HBW) changed during the aging, which was closely related to the effects of dispersion strengthening and solution strengthening. A negatively linear relationship between Brinell hardness and Charpy impact energy was established, which could be utilized to predict the degree of thermal embrittlement.
