Hot deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of 2205 duplex stainless steel

The equiaxed compression test was used to study the microstructure evolution and the dynamic recrystallization behavior of 2205 duplex stainless steel during hot deformation under 850-1100 degrees C with strain rates of 0.01 s(-1), 0.1 s(-1), 1 s(-1) and 10 s(-1). The calculated values of thermal deformation activation energy Q and stress index n were 351.58 kJ mol(-1) and 3.8543, respectively. On this basis, the Arrhenius type constitutive equation was successfully established, the microstructure of the sample was studied by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and the changes of the ferrite and austenite phase under different deformation parameters were analyzed. It was seen from the phase boundary and grain boundary diagrams that, at the same temperature, as the deformation rate increased, the austenite phase content slowly decreased, while the ferrite phase content increased. The deformation amount of the two phases under the same strain at different temperatures and strain rates were respectively obtained from the grain orientation scatter diagram and the changes of recrystallization, deformation and substructure under different deformation parameters were obtained from the recrystallization diagram.
