New comprehension on the microstructure, texture and deformation behaviors of UNS S32101 duplex stainless steel fabricated by direct cold rolling process

• The effect of cold deformation on the detailed microstructure evolution, texture development and deformation behaviors/mechanisms of UNS S32101 duplex stainless steel (DSS2101) during the direct cold rolling process was investigated. The results showed that throughout the cold deformation process, the negative texture of {001}<110> component was nonexistent in deformed ferrite, and most texture components were mainly concentrated on alpha/gamma-fibers. Detwinning in austenite was substantial responsible for the reorientation in {111}< 112> towards {111}<110> of gamma-fiber in ferrite rather than martensite transformation. Austenite texture were composed of {110}<100> Goss and {110}<115> Goss/Brass components at heavy deformation (50% and 70%). The refinement and deformation behavior in ferrite was attributed to microbands (MBs) subdivision and dislocation activities, whilst that of austenite mainly occurred through twinning, strain induced detwinning (SID) and strain induced martensite (SIM).
