Abstract
The hotdeformation behavior of ascast 30Cr10Ni duplex stainless steel was investigated with the aim to understand the conditions better that lead to the occurrence of cracking Because of the increased content of Cr Ni and C the 30Cr10Ni ferrous alloy exhibits a complex microstructure especially in the ascast state in which in addition to the ferrite austenite and sigma phases carbides also are present this leads to a very complex hotdeformation behavior Hotcompression tests on specimens with an ascast initial microstructure in the temperature range 1223 K 950 °C to1573 K 1300 °C and strain rates of 01 to 50 s−1 were carried out To find the most appropriate sequence of initial hotdeformation steps for the effective crushing of the ascast microstructure a special experimental procedure was developed The results indicate that in the temperature range 1423 K 1150 °C to 1523 K 1250 °C the ascast microstructure exhibits increased workability whereas below this temperature the microstructure is prone to cracking As such the ascast microstructure should be crushed in the hightemperature range to avoid the occurrence of cracking
