Title: The effects of grain and specimen sizes on mechanical properties of type 316 austenitic stainless steel
Abstract: The effects of grain size and specimen thickness on the mechanical properties (0.2% proof stress, ultimate strength, total elongation and work hardening exponent) of specimens of type 316 austenitic stainless steels have been investigated by tensile testing at room temperature. The 0.2% proof stress and the ultimate strength of thin specimens with small grain size ( < ~ 40 μm) can be the same as for bulk material. On the other hand, the specimen thickness effect on the total elongation is large, and there is a ease where it is difficult to deduce the total elongation of bulk material from that of the thin specimen. Generally, the mechanical properties deteriorate with decreasing specimen thickness for a constant grain size.
