Abstract

In this research, the effects of annealing temperature (500, 550, and 600 °C) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a conventionally (1 cycle) and severely (6 cycles) deformed Fe–24Ni martensitic steel , processed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB), were investigated. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis revealed that annealing at 500 and 550 °C for 30 min was insufficient for completing the reverse martensite transformation , and consequently, the microstructure consisted of austenite and martensite. However, complete reverse martensitic transformation has been accomplished after annealing at 600 °C for 30 min for both deformed samples. Both yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) were increased after first and sixth cycle of rolling. Subsequent, annealing led to a decrease in YS and UTS with improvement in uniform elongation ( e u ). In addition, the work hardenability was also improved by annealing the deformed samples.
