Abstract

The microstructure of stainless steels belonging to the martensitic and martensitic–ferritic classes was examined by orientation microscopy (EBSD) following quenching. The steels comprised 15 wt % Cr, Ni, and Nb, and were distinguished by the addition of Cu or Mo as alloying elements. Using the deviation spectra of interfacial α/γ-boundaries from orientation relationships (OR), as well as the initial austenitic grain recovery procedure according to OR, it was found that the martensitic transformation occurring in both steels is realized according to the closest to Kurdyumov–Sachs OR, or (112)γ||(113)α; [111]γ||[110]α OR. It is demonstrated that the δ-ferrite grains present in the martensitic−ferritic grade steel before and following quenching are in the same OR with austenite. This appears to be a consequence of the nucleation of martensitic crystals at the δ-ferrite/austenite phase interface. It is demonstrated also that the application of orientation microscopy enables the estimation of the grain austenitic structure of stainless steels at elevated temperatures with an acceptable degree of precision. This is achieved by analyzing the structure resulting from shear transformation.
