abstract

  • The recrystallization behavior of laboratory‐processed AISI409 ferritic stainless steel sheet has been studied with a focus on texture inhomogeneity and “sluggish” recrystallization kinetics, mainly using EBSD in the scanning electron microscope. Pronounced texture gradients were observed in some grain orientations (see Figure for a TEM image of the α versus γ‐grain border region) and correlated to the deformation‐induced substructure. The strong pinning of some boundaries has been linked not only to textural effects, but also to the precipitation of fine titanium carbonitrides.
