Influence of the Rate and Degree of Deformation on the Texture, Structure and Mechanical Properties of Steel

Figure 4

The microstructure of steel in the cross section perpendicular to the tensile direction in RD. Strain rate tensile: (a) 0 mm/min (before tensile); (b–d) 0.1 mm/min; (e–g) 1 mm/min; (h–j) 60 mm/min; (k–m) 120 mm/min; (n–p) 300 mm/min. Deformation degree: (b–n) 10%; (c–o) 20%; (d–p) 30%. Gradation of intensity is as in Figures 1–3.
