VII.2 HR-TEM microstructures <strong>of</strong> grade A220 (Fe-Cr-Ni)<br />

austenitic steel deformed at -196°C<br />

The sample which was deformed at -196°C was conducted to High Resolution<br />

(HR)TEM. At this temperature the deformation is facilitated by the formation <strong>of</strong> εmartensite.<br />

Even in this microstructure small substructure free grains are observed<br />

which may be generated by the stress induced boundary migration or the reverse<br />

transformation <strong>of</strong> ε-martensite into nanocrystalline austenite.<br />

Fig. A.3: HR-TEM micrographs <strong>of</strong> type A220 austenitic steel deformed at -196°C. The<br />

microstructure at very low THPT is characterized a) by small substructure free grains<br />

<strong>and</strong> b) by the deformation induced martensite transformation γ(fcc) → ε(hcp).<br />
