Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to understand a role of the interface between γ-Fe matrix and Fe2Nb-Laves phase in the deformation of the austenitic heat resistant steels at ambient temperature, the compression response of γ-Fe bicrystal micropillars with diameters of 3~5 micrometer prepared from the γ-Fe single phase steel with a composition of Fe-20Cr-30Ni (at.%) and the two-phase steel (γ-Fe + Fe2Nb Laves phase) with a with a composition of Fe-20Cr-30Ni-2Nb-0.03B (at.%) was examined using the nanoindenter equipped with a flat punch with a size of 20 micrometer. The present study demonstrate that the interface between γ-Fe matrix and Fe2Nb-Laves phase substantially enhances the local strain hardening in γ-Fe matrix close to the grain boundary, which is likely due to its strong resistance to slip transfer at ambient temperature.
