Effects of Cold Rolling Deformation on Microstructure and Damping Capacity of a Fe-Mn-Cr-Co-Si Alloy Lei Meng Xiaoming Zhang 10.6084/m9.figshare.8987189.v1 https://scielo.figshare.com/articles/dataset/Effects_of_Cold_Rolling_Deformation_on_Microstructure_and_Damping_Capacity_of_a_Fe-Mn-Cr-Co-Si_Alloy/8987189 <div><p>The microstructure evolution of Fe-19Mn-8Cr-1Co-0.2Si (wt.%) alloy and Fe-19Mn (wt.%) alloy during cold rolling and its effect on the damping capacity of the two alloys were investigated. It was shown that the damping capacity of the two alloys was enhanced significantly owing to the deformation-induced ε-martensite and stacking faults. The Fe-19Mn-8Cr-1Co-0.2Si alloy exhibited an accelerated phase transformation from γ-austenite to ε-martensite due to a higher content of retained γ-austenite and larger grain sizes compared with the Fe-19Mn alloy, resulting in a higher maximal increment of damping capacity in this alloy caused by deformation. It was observed that no twinned ε-martensite was generated in the Fe-19Mn-8Cr-1Co-0.2Si alloy during cold rolling, resulting in a remarkable increase in the volume fraction of α'-martensite owing to no impediment to ε → α' transformation, hence the deterioration of damping capacity was slow because the α'-martensite weakened the pinning effect of dislocations on damping sources. In addition, new damping sources were provided due to the occurance of γ-austenite twinning in the Fe-19Mn-8Cr-1Co-0.2Si alloy.</p></div> 2019-07-24 02:56:50 Fe-Mn based damping alloy martensite transformation cold rolling damping capacity
