The development of transformation texture in a deformed austenitic stainless steel has been modelled using the crystallographic theory of martensite, and the interaction of martensite with the applied stress. It has thus been possible to explain published data on variant selection in martensite induced to form during the tensile deformation of austenitic stainless steel.

MAP_STEEL_TEXTURE |
PROGRAM: Calculation of the crystallographic texture obtained when austenite transforms into martensite. The austenite itself can be textured. |
MAP_STEEL_TEXTURE2 |
PROGRAM:To produce a non-random, crystallographically textured distribution of austenite grains. |
MAP_STEEL_TEXTURE3 |
PROGRAM:Calculation of habit plane, shape deformation and orientation relationship between austenite and martensite or bainite, as a function of the correspondence matrix and the lattice invariant deformation. |
MAP_STEEL_DIFFRACT_FERRITE |
PROGRAM:Calculation of Debye X-ray diffraction rings due to stress-induced transformation of polycrystalline austenite. The sample may be textured. |
MAP_STEEL_DIFFRACT_AUSTENITE |
PROGRAM:Calculation of Debye X-ray diffraction rings for polycrystalline austenite. The sample may be textured. |
MAP_STEEL_TRANS_PLASTICITY |
PROGRAM:Calculation of transformation strain and crystallographic orientation of the 24 variants of martensite or bainite that form in a singel grain of austenite in an arbitrary orientation. |
