Assessment of former austenite structure in hot rolled steel in terms of its texture after martensitic transformation
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Textures of medium carbon steel, hot rolled and then quenched, have been determined by Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). To ensure representativeness of results, a rather large treated scan covered about a thousand of prior grains, each containing several thousands of measurement points. Considering inter-phase orientation relationships peculiar to martensitic steels, textures of the high temperature phase (austenite) have been assessed in terms of the transformation textures. Thus, deformed and recrystallized states of austenite dependent on the rolling conditions can be distinguished. To verify EBSD data, martensite textures were measured by an independent method of EBSD whereas morphology of the prior grains was revealed by means of chemical etching.
