摘要
A 0.06%C low carbon steel was deformed in torsion over the temperature range 877-917℃in a 2% H_2 - Ar gas atmosphere.Strains of 0.25 -5.0 were applied at strain rates ofε= 0.04 s^(-1) andε= 0.4 s^(-1) to study the formation of ferrite by dynamic transformation(DT) at temperatures above the A_(e3).The critical strain for ferrite formation by DT was aboutε= 0.2 and its volume fraction increased with strain and decreased with temperature above the A_(e3).Average ferrite grain sizes of 1.5μm to 5μm were produced,which decreased with strain rate.At the lower strain rate(ε= 0.04 s^(-1)) reverse transformation(RT) took place during deformation once an incubation time of about 40 s,was exceeded.An increase in strain rate fromε= 0.04 s^(-1) toε= 0.4 s^(-1) arrested RT during testing at all temperatures as the total test times did not exceed 13 s.The present work shows that DT is favored at higher strain rates by increasing the driving force(i.e.stored energy ) and by suppressing RT.
