Abstract

Uniaxial tensile tests were done on Fe-25Ni-20Cr Austenitic Stainless Steel (Alloy 709) along with in-situ synchrotron measurement at different temperatures (25 °C, 500 °C, 700 °C and 900 °C). The X-Ray diffraction data was collected in-situ in order to follow the phases present as well as to derive the dislocation density as a function of strain through peak broadening analysis based on the modified Williamson-Hall method and see how trends are affected as a function of temperature. The XRD data were complemented by TEM and STEM-EDX characterization done on the post-experiment samples to observe the deformed microstructures. The paper presents a depiction of the tensile behavior of this advanced steel by interpreting the stress-strain curves and the effect of temperature through the information gained by in-situ XRD and TEM observations as well as fractography done ex-situ on the samples tested to rupture.
