Caracterización mediante la técnica EBSD de la deformación de chapa de acero inoxidable AISI 304 DDQ bajo tensiones multiaxiales típicas de la embutición

Abstract

The main aim of this work is to evaluate AISI 304 DDQ stainless steel behaviour under deep drawing deformation condition, that is, pure shear deformation in which material suffers a typical deformation under tension-biaxial compression stresses system. The microestructural evolution has been investigated by optical microscopy and by EBSD technique. The success of the EBSD analysis has been established for the deformation conditions experimented here. It has been determined the rolling direction and the equivalent strain influence on the crystallographic orientation maps, misorientation diagrams and poles figures. The results let the authors say the low angle misorientations corresponding to 0, 45 and 90° rolling directions have an inverse correlation with the material anisotropy. Initial prestraining has been considered also and the analysis of this aspects lead to establish that the increment of the intragranular misorientations with the strain depends on the initial state of the steel; this increment is observed to be minor for samples with initial prestraining. High angle misorientation analysis (>15°) indicates that the grain boundaries character distributions depends on the deformation.
