5. Conclusions
- The elastic modulus of 5 μm austenite pillars with [0 0 1]- and [1 1 1]-orientation was 197.2 GPa and 273.3 GPa, respectively, and was crystallographic orientation-dependent. The calculated CRSS values derived from the experiments were about 178.5 MPa for both [0 0 1]- and [1 1 1]-oriented micro-pillars, relating to the activation of dislocation gliding.
- Deformation microstructures of both micro-pillars were characterized by pronounced planar slip. The slipping band structure undergoes refinement during straining, resulting in the strain hardening behavior.
- Higher flow stress and unstable strain hardening behavior in [0 0 1]-oriented austenite micro-pillars were assumed to be caused by the easy activation of secondary slip systems.
