Xd. Liu et al., MEASUREMENT OF AUSTENITE-TO-FERRITE TRANSFORMATION TEMPERATURE AFTER MULTIPASS DEFORMATION OF STEELS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 194(1), 1995, pp. 15-18
The austenite-to-ferrite transformation temperature (Ar-3) under multi
-pass deformation has been studied using the continuous hot torsion te
sting method by monitoring the variation in the stress with temperatur
e during the cooling period. The experimental results show that the ef
fect of deformation on the Ar-3 temperature decreases rapidly with dec
reasing cooling rate. This may be due to static recovery taking place
within the deformed austenite during the cooling period, effectively r
educing the nucleation of ferrite.
