144 Chapter IV. STRAIN PARTITIONING<br />

� Secondly, an additional deformation mechanism seems to be activated in the equiaxed mor-<br />

phology: sliding at the interphase boundaries, see Figure IV.42. The microgrid pattern turns<br />

out to be very useful to determine such a deformation mechanism. Sliding at the interphase<br />

boundaries is frequently observed in the microstructure showing an equiaxed morphology<br />

whereas it is very rare to see this mechanism when the austenite presents a Widmanstätten<br />

morphology. These observations are in agreement with literature data since they confirm the<br />

results published by Pinol-Juez et al. [12, 95]. The authors have shown that the activation of<br />

sliding at the interphase boundaries depends on the nature of the interface. In the equiaxed<br />

morphology, the interfaces are incoherent; consequently they are more able to slide. On the<br />

contrary, in the Widmanstätten morphology as the δ/γ interphase boundaries are related by a<br />

Kurdjumov-Sachs orientation relationship, the interfaces are semi-coherent and the ability of<br />

the interface to slide is suppressed.<br />

All the results obtained for the strain partitioning index are summarized in Table IV.20. To highlight a<br />

possible influence of the phase morphology, the strain partitioning index relative to each morphology<br />

has to be compared for a given temperature. Whatever the morphology, the strain partitioning tends to<br />

increase when the austenite presents an equiaxed morphology in comparison with a Widmanstätten<br />

austenite. This difference is attributed to an additional deformation mechanism: the sliding at the δ/γ<br />

interfaces.<br />
