Abstract Scope |
Ferrous medium-entropy alloys (FeMEAs), leveraging deformation-induced martensitic transformation (DIMT), demonstrate excellent strain-hardening ability. Partial recrystallization was employed to improve the low yield strength, resulting in a complex microstructure that activates DIMT in both ReX and non-ReX regions, posing significant analytical challenges. In this study, we perform in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction to quantitatively analyze each deformation mechanism. Peak deconvolution enables separate tracing of the deformation behavior of the ReX and non-ReX FCC domains, revealing the stress partitioning between them. DIMT kinetics in each domain are also investigated, and we distinctively analyze the contributions of DIMT occurring in each domain on the global strain-hardening rate. The results suggest that the predominant contribution shifts from DIMT in the ReX domain to DIMT in the non-ReX domain as deformation progresses. This work demonstrates how a partially recrystallized metastable FeMEA exhibits superior mechanical properties and provides insights into analyzing the complex deformation behavior. |
