Tensile tests on stainless steels in temperature range 800 to 1200°C

Abstract

On different austenitic stainless steels tensile tests were carried out in the hot working temperature range for 800 to 1200ºC. The effects of δ ferrite on recrystallisation, of σ phase on deformability and the effect of temperature on recovery, recrystallisation and grain growth were established.
