Abstract Scope |
The high-temperature behavior of additively manufactured 420 stainless steel fabricated via the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process was investigated through a hot compressive deformation test performed at the temperature range of 973-1423 K and strain rates of 0.01-1.0 s-1. Flow stress curves were analyzed using material constitutive modeling and double differentiation techniques to asses various softening mechanisms and the onset of the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) phenomenon, respectively. The Johnson-Cook constitutive equation demonstrated higher accuracy in predicting the flow stress curves at relatively higher temperatures. The flow stress peak diminished at higher strain rates, indicating an increasing presence of dynamic recovery (DRV). Based on the calculated critical strains, DRX occurred before peak stress at strains between 0.05-0.14. These observations were confirmed by the electron-backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis, revealing increased grain refinement at low-temperature settings due to the high volume of DRX nuclei. Conversely, at high-temperature settings, a possible dynamic transformation (DT) occurred alongside DRX, leading to the formation of lath-like grains with low local misorientations. These results were subsequently compared with the hot deformation behavior of conventionally manufactured 420 stainless steels. |
