Answer #1

Microstructural refinement of AISI 1018 steel is achieved by alloying or thermomechanical treatments. Severe plastic deformation technics require high strain rate for achieving ultrafined grain. So cyrorolling is the best practice of producing ultrafined grain which require only lower load to achieve severe strain. In cyrorolling steel is soaked in liquid nitrogen. During soaking the material cools and atomic contraction of matrix occured due to high cold. It releases high compressive deformation energy, it acts as the driving potential for enhancement and movement of dislocation during cyrorolling.

The resulting microstructure is of ferrite and pearlite. The grain increases due to annealing temperature fall in the grain growth region.

So the microstructure becomes ultrafine grain (UFG) on cooling the 1018 steel bar
