Abstract

A process for warm-working a forged austenitic stainless steel workpiece to improve its mechanical and physical properties is disclosed. The workpiece is subjected to a force great enough to cause deformation while the surface temperature of the workpiece is elevated in the range of above about 200° F. (95° C.) to below the lower critical temperature. The purpose of using elevated temperatures is to reduce the force required to deform the workpiece. Stabilized austenitic stainless steel can be warm-worked and still maintain its corrosion-resistant properties. The advantages of warm-working over cold-working to achieve properties are reduction of noise and improved metallurgical control.
