Abstract：

Abstract: Austenitic stainless steels has poor mechanical properties at room temperature, but its properties are significantly strengthened during deformation at ultra-low temperatures. Therefore, for the deformation-inducing strengthening characteristics of austenitic stainless steel at ultra-low temperatures, three deformation mechanisms, namely phase transition induced plasticity, twinning induced plasticity and dislocation slip, were reviewed and analyzed, and the influences of strain rate, pre-strain amount and deformation amount on the mechanical properties of stainless steel at ultra-low temperatures were elucidated. Then, the microstructure evolution of stainless steel during low temperature deformation process under different parameters was revealed, and the intrinsic relationships of dislocation slip, mechanical twinning and martensitic transformation with plastic deformation process were analyzed. Furthermore, the nucleation and evolution of ductile dimple at the fracture were clarified, and their impact on the ductility of stainless steel was explained. Finally, the phase transformation strengthening mechanism of stainless steel at low temperature was analyzed. By introducing the ultra-low temperature deformation-inducing strengthening mechanism of austenitic stainless steel from the macro and micro perspectives, a reference is provided for the safe service and high performance manufacturing of stainless steel under extreme working conditions.
