Microstrain and boundary misorientation evolution for recrystallized super DSS after deformation

After deformation, super duplex stainless steel (DSS) was annealed at 1100 °C for a two-phase solid–solution region to avoid σ formation. Preferred orientations in δ and γ phases changed to (111)δ, (100)δ, and (101)γ from the rough random orientation of as-received super DSS. The kernel average misorientation (KAM) angle was less than 5° implying the grain boundary misorientation strain shifted to a higher value after cold rolling, which was...
