Efeito da deformação plástica no processo de seleção de variantes na transformação martensítica no aço inoxidável austenítico AISI 301L

Abstract

The present work aimed to study the effect of the plastic prior strain for rolling and the effect of the strain for tensile test in the process of variants selection during the martensitic transformation in the austenitic stainless steel AISI 301L. There were compared samples previously rolled and deformed in tensile test with samples only plastically deformed in tensile test. Relative aspects to macrotexture obtained by the technique of diffraction of X-rays and microtexture obtained by Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) were studied. The macrotexture analysed the evolution of the principal texture components of the martensitic phase from the calculation of the orientation distribution function (ODF). The pole figures obtained by EBSD for selected grains were compared with pole figures calculated using the phenomenological theory of martensite crystallography whose acronym in English is (PMTC). The model of Patel-Cohen to simulate the influence of the tension applied during the process of martensitic transformation was used. The results showed that the texture of the deformation induced martensite is typical of a body-centered cubic microstructure. They showed also that the only tensile samples followed the model of Patel-Cohen for the variants selection. The prior deformed samples by rolling presented a bigger dispersal regarding model principally those who subsequently had little plastic deformation for traction.
