Influence of Hot Rolling Finishing Temperature on Texture and Ridging Resistance in Stabilized Ferritic Stainless Steels

A systematic study is conducted on a 17% Cr dual stabilized ferritic stainless steel (FSS) to the evolution of texture during hot rolling and its effect ridging resistance after cold annealing. Hot 4-high laboratory mill with finishing temperatures in range 1000–810 °C cover microtexture under both conventional conditions when using low temperatures. Subsequently, hot-rolled coils are rolled annealed same final thickness. The microtextures samples evaluated at each process step scanning electron microscopy combined backscattered diffraction (SEM-EBSD). Lowering temperature results formation intragranular shear bands, which strengthens γ-fiber subsequent annealing material. After reduction 78% followed by annealing, product correlates rolling. FSS improves lowering This shows importance improving inherited from casting FSS.
