Bulk nanostructured 316L austenitic stainless steel(SS) samples with nano-scale twin bundles embedded in nano-sized grains were synthesized by using dynamic plastic deformation(DPD).Subsequent thermal annealing of the as-DPD sample leads to a single austenitic structure with static recrystallized(SRX) grains in nanostructured matrix.Oil-lubricated sliding tests of ball-on-disc type were carried out for the as-DPD and the as-annealed DPD steel samples in comparison with coarse grained(CG) steel samples.Experimental results show that the as-DPD 316L steel exhibits a little enhanced wear resistance under a load of 10 N,and nearly identical wear resistance under a load of 30 N relative to that of the CG sample.After annealing,the wear resistance roughly follows the Archard equation under a load of 10 N.However,the wear resistance increases with increasing hardness,and decreases with a further increase in hardness under a load of 30 N.The highest wear resistance can be found in the DPD sample annealed at 750 C for about 20 min,which is more than 46% higher than that of the CG steel sample.This phenomenon is originated from the microstructure with an optimized combination of strength and ductility as a result of moderate plastic deformation in SRX grained regions.
