Abstract
Deformation microstructures of bulk ultrafine-grained austenitic AISI 304L stainless steels were analysed by Electron backscatter diffraction. Samples with grain sizes below 500nm showed transition from grain-scale deformation to the collective phenomenon of shear banding. It was assisted by strain-induced grain rotation and coalescence. This phenomenon was suppressed in samples with a bi-modal grain size distribution (maxima at ~650nm and ~1400nm) due to deformation induced martensite formation yielding high tensile strength and ductility (1348 MPa ultimate tensile strength at 0.36 max. true strain).
