In this study, austenitic 316L stainless steel was rolled at three different temperatures (100℃, -50℃, -196℃) at five rolling degree (0, 16, 33, 50, 66 and 80%). The rolled specimen was examined for micro structure, and the volume fraction and mechanical properties were evaluated. In particular, the rolling specimen detected the elastic wave generated in tensile and investigated the relationship between the rolling degree and the dominant frequency. As the rolling degree increased, austenite decreased and martensite increased. The volume fraction of martensite more increased at lower temperatures, but increased rapidly at the rolling degree of 50% of all rolling temperature. Tensile strength increased rapidly with the increase of the rolling degree, and was larger at lower temperatures. The elongation decreased sharply to the rolling degree of 33%, but decreased gently thereafter. The dominant frequency highly appeared as the volume fraction of martensite increased, but the dominant frequency was higher at the low temperature rolling temperature. A similar trend was also observed in the relationship between tensile strength and dominant frequency.

The effect of deformation induced martensite transformation on the mechanical properties in austenitic stainless steel with high Mn was studied. ${\alpha}$'-martensite was formed by deformation in austenitic stainless steel with high Mn. Deformation induced ${\alpha}$'-martensite was formed with surface relief by cold rolling. With the increase of deformation degree, volume fraction of deformation induced martensite was increased rapidly in early stage of deformation and then, increased slowly. With the increase of deformation degree, hardness and tensile strength were rapidly increased with linear relations, while elongation was rapidly decreased and then slowly decreased. Hardness, tensile strengths and elongation were influenced strongly by deformation induced martensite.

This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between the mechanical properties and damping capacity of thermo-mechanical treated 316L stainless steel. Dislocations, ${\varepsilon}$ and ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensites were formed by thermo-mechanical treatment, and the grain size was changed from micrometer to sub-micrometer by 5-cycled thermo-mechanical treatment. The volume fraction of dislocations, ${\varepsilon}$ and ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensites was increased, and grain size of austenite increased and lengthened by the with increasing cycle number of thermo-mechanical treatment. In 5-cycled specimens, the volume fraction of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensite was more than 25% and the less than 5% of volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$-martensite was attained. With increasing number of thermo-mechanical treatment, hardness, strength and damping capacity were increased, but elongation was decreased. Damping capacity was increased with increased hardness and strength, but decreased with increased elongation, and this result was the opposite tendency for general metal.

Effects of austenite on the uniform corrosion in the solution of $1\;N\;H_2SO_4$ were investigated through the electrochemical polarization test. Two phases structures of martensite and austenite were obtained by annealing treatment at the range of $500^{\circ}C{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ for 10min. in 70% cold-rolled 202 stainless steel. Volume fraction of reversed austenite increased rapidly with an increase of annealing temperature. Uniform Corrosion was occur mainly on martensite phase in 202 austenitic stainless steel with two phase of austenite and martensite. Corrosion current density increased with an increase of volume fraction of austenite, therefore uniform corrosion was affected by volume fraction of austenite

The variation in microstructure and texture during continuous annealing was examined in a series of 1.6% Mn-0.1% Cr-0.3% Mo-0.005% B steels with carbon contents in the range of 0.010 to 0.030%. It was found that microstructure of hot band consisted of ferrite and pearlite as a consequence of high coiling temperature, and eutectoid carbon content was between 0.011% and 0.016%. Martensite ranged in volume fraction from 1.5% to 4.0% when annealed at $820{\circ}C$ according to the typical continuous annealing cycle. The critical martensite content for the continuous yielding was about 4% from stress-strain curves. The continuous yielding was obtained in the 0.030% carbon steel and 0.010% to 0.020% carbon steels revealed some yield point elongation ranging from 0.8% to 2.2% in as-annealed conditions. Higher tensile strength in the higher carbon steel is due to both increase in the martensite volume fraction and ferrite grain refinement. Decreasing the carbon content to 0.01% strengthened the intensities of ${\gamma}$-fiber textures, resulting in the increase in the $r_m$ value, which was caused by the lower volume fraction of martensite. The higher carbon steels showed the lower $r_m$ value of about 1.0.

Martensite volume fraction significantly affects the mechanical properties of alloy steels. Martensite start temperature (M_s), transformation temperature for martensite 50 vol.% (M₅₀), and transformation temperature for martensite 90 vol.% (M₉₀) are important transformation temperatures to control the martensite phase fraction. Several researchers proposed empirical equations and machine learning models to predict the Ms temperature. These numerical approaches can easily predict the Ms temperature without additional experiment and cost. However, to control martensite phase fraction more precisely, we need to reduce prediction error of the Ms model and propose prediction models for other martensite transformation temperatures (M₅₀, M₉₀). In the present study, machine learning model was applied to suggest the predictive model for the Ms, M50, M90 temperatures. To explain prediction mechanisms and suggest feature importance on martensite transformation temperature of machine learning models, the explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is employed. Random forest regression (RFR) showed the best performance for predicting the Ms, M50, M90 temperatures using different machine learning models. The feature importance was proposed and the prediction mechanisms were discussed by XAI.

The damping capacity and strength of Fe-2Al-26Mn alloys have been studied for the development of new materials with high strength and damping capacity. Particularly, the effect of ${\alpha}'\;and\;{\varepsilon}$ martensite phase, which constitutes the microstructure of cold rolled Fe-Al-Mn alloys, has been investigated in terms of the strength and damping capacity of the alloys. The damping capacity rises with increasing the degree of cold rolling and reveals the maximum value at 25% reduction. The damping capacity is strongly affected by the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, while the other phases, such as ${\alpha}'$ martensite and austenite phase, actually exhibit little effect on damping capacity. Considering that tensile strength increases and elongation decreases with increasing the volume fraction of ${\alpha}'$ martensite, it is proved that tensile strength is mainly affected by the amount of ${\alpha}'$ martensite.

This study is to investigate the effect of thermo mechanical treatment on the mechanical properties of 316L stainless steel. ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ and ${\varepsilon}$-martensite was formed by deformation. With increasing number of thermo mechanical treatment, volume fraction of martensite was increased rapidly, and then unchanged. With increasing number of thermo mechanical treatment, hardness and strength was increased rapidly, and then unchanged while elongation was decreased rapidly, and then unchanged. With increasing volume fraction of martensite formed by thermo mechanical treatment, hardness and strength was increased rapidly, elongation was decreased rapidly. Thus, hardness, strength and elongation of thermo mechanical treated 316L stainless steel was strongly affected by martensite formed by thermo mechanical treatment. Good combination of strength and elongation was obtained from thermomechanical treatment.

In this work, a new method of measuring volume fraction of deformation-induced ${\varepsilon}$ martensite is proposed using endothermic heat on reverse transformation. As grain size increases, the amount of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite forming on cooling increases. However, with a decrease in grain size, more ${\varepsilon}$ is induced by deformation, improving shape memory effect.

The changes in damping capacity with volume fractions of thermal and deformation-induced ${\varepsilon}$ martensites were compared and analyzed in an Fe-23%-Mn alloy. The volume fraction of thermal ${\varepsilon}$ martensite increased with decreasing cooling temperature, whereas that of deformation-induced ${\varepsilon}$ martensite increased steeply up to 10%- of cold rolling and nearly saturated in further cold rolling. In the case of thermal ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, the damping capacity increased linearly with the increase in ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content. For the deformation-induced ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, however, the damping capacity increased continuously up to 70%- of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, over which it decreased suddenly. TEM microstructures showed that the deterioration of damping capacity above 70%- of deformation-induced ${\varepsilon}$ martensite is ascribed to the introduction of perfect dislocations, which play a important role in inhibiting the movement of damping sources such as stacking fault boundaries inside ${\varepsilon}$ martensite, ${\varepsilon}$ martensite variant boundaries and ${\gamma}/{\varepsilon}$ interfaces.
