K. Laha et al., SERRATED FLOW BEHAVIOR OF 2.25CR-1MO STEEL BASE-METAL, WELDMENTS AND SIMULATED HEAT-AFFECTED ZONE STRUCTURES, Zeitschrift fur Metallkunde, 85(12), 1994, pp. 839-844
Serrated flow behaviour of 2.25Cr-1 Mo ferritic steel base metal, weld
ments and simulated heat-affected zone (HAZ) structures, viz. coarse-g
rained bainite, fine-grained bainite and intercritical structure, have
been studied. All the structures except coarse-grained bainite showed
serrated flow in the intermediate temperature range. Critical strains
for the onset of serration in the different structures were rationali
zed in terms of interparticle spacing as determined from work-hardenin
g analysis of Estrin and Mecking. Effects of serrated flow on mechanic
al properties for different structures have been discussed.
