An investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of annealing at different temperatures on the tensile properties of ultrafine-grained 316L stainless steel processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT). A “moderate-temperature” annealing at 740 K resulted in reduced strength and elongation due to the annihilation of mobile dislocations. A “high-temperature” annealing at 1000 K yielded a remarkably good combination of yield strength (~1330 MPa) and elongation to failure (~43%) which can be attributed to the almost full reversion of α’-martensite formed during HPT into γ-austenite while the grain size remained very fine with a
value of about 200 nm.

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of annealing at different temperatures on the tensile properties of ultrafine-grained 316L stainless steel processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT). A “moderate-temperature” annealing at 740 K resulted in reduced strength and elongation due to the annihilation of mobile dislocations. A “high-temperature” annealing at 1000 K yielded a remarkably good combination of yield strength (~1330 MPa) and elongation to failure (~43%) which can be attributed to the almost full reversion of α’-martensite formed during HPT into γ-austenite while the grain size remained very fine with a
value of about 200 nm.
