Effect of Cold Rolling and Subsequent Annealing on the Microstructure and the Microtexture of Austenitic Corrosion-Resistant Steels

Abstract

The deformation mechanisms that occur during cold rolling of austenitic corrosion-resistant steels and the mechanisms of forming of an ultrafine-grained structure in them during subsequent annealing are studied. The structure forming mechanisms are found to be related to the microtexture evolution.
