Correlation between ductile-to-brittle transition behaviour and twinning in ferritic stainless steel

Abstract In this work, the 18Cr–2Mo ferritic stainless steel was treated with and without warm rolling at 573 K with 66.5% reduction after conventional hot rolling process. It was shown that ductile-to-brittle transition behaviour could be closely related to deformation twinning and parameters affecting critical temperature for twinning would also inevitably affect ductile-to-brittle transition temperature. This correlation between ductile-to-brittle transition behaviour and twinning was in good agreement with the Cottrell–Petch model. A lowered transition temperature and an improved toughness after introducing warm rolling process and corresponding annealing process could be mainly explained in terms of refining the recrystallised grains and reducing the volume fraction of grains having orientations favourable for twinning, which decrease the critical temperature at which twins form.
