Fabrication and mechanical properties of fully austenitic gradient nanostructured 310S stainless steel
Source abstract
Abstract
Gradient nanostructured (GNS) metallic materials have the potential to solve the strength-ductility dilemma. In this work, we investigate the depth-dependent microstructures and mechanical properties of the fully austenitic GNS 310S stainless steel fabricated by an adaptive surface mechanical rolling treatment technique. It is of great significance to study the mechanism of gradient nanocrystallization (GNC) and strength-ductility synergy of fully austenitic GNS 310S under the condition that severe plastic deformation does not induce martensitic transformation. Microstructural observations showed that a fully austenitic GNS surface layer is formed at room temperature, with a grain size ranging from ~ 56 nm to tens of microns from surface to the core. The GNC of GNS 310S is dominated by dislocation activities, twins, and shear bands. GNS 310S exhibited excellent mechanical properties and achieved good strength-ductility synergy, which is attributed to a high gradient residual compressive stress and a thicker GNS surface layer.
