Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure and texture evolution during cold rolling and annealing of a high Mn TWIP steel
TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure during cold rolling and annealing of a low-stacking fault energy austenitic Fe-Mn-C alloy was studied by means of electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fresh martensite on the stability of retained austenite in quenching and partitioning steel
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of retained Austenite on the mechanical properties and its transformation stability were determined by stepwise uniaxial micro-tensile testing and subsequent electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) study of a pre-selected region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure and texture of a lightly deformed TRIP-assisted steel characterized by means of the EBSD technique
Roumen Petrov,Roumen Petrov,Leo A.I. Kestens,Leo A.I. Kestens,Anna Wasilkowska,Yvan Houbaert +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) technique was used successfully for determining the volume fraction of the microstructural constituents bainite, ferrite and austenite, whereas after deformation only the BCC and FCC phases could be separated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Texture formation in metal alloys with cubic crystal structures
Leo A.I. Kestens,Hadi Pirgazi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a concise overview of texture formation in alloys with cubic crystal structures, mainly steel and aluminium alloys, is given, where three key solid-state transformation processes are considered: allotropic phase transformations, plastic deformation and recrystallisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructural and crystallographic aspects of conventional and asymmetric rolling processes
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of the asymmetric rolling (ASR) process is modelled by crystallographic texture models and compared with experimental results, where the diameters of working rolls are different, and in this technique could extend the possibilities for texture control of rolled sheet.
