Abstract

The stress-strain curves and temperature change of ultrafine-grained (UFG) austenitic steels with different grain sizes were measured during uniaxial tensile testing. The uniform stress-strain and temperature change curves are divided into three different regions depending on the hardening mechanisms. The strain-induced martensite in the UFG steels provides extra-strain hardening, large ductility and slower temperature increase. The critical stored energy for the formation of the strain-induced martensite is measured as a function of austenite grain size.
