in the present study, the effect of grain size on the austenite stability was studied by nanoindentationtests in a 304l stainless steel. thermomechanical processing based on cold rolling and annealing wasused to produce two different types of austenite: ultrafine grained (ufg) austenite with the averagegrain size of 0.65 μm and coarse grained (cg) austenite with the average grain size of 12 μm....
