Is stainless steel heat treatment deformed?
Martensitic stainless steel or martensite containing stainless steel heat treatment deformation is larger, because the austenite from high temperature to room temperature martensite will occur during the process of volume expansion. In addition, ferritic stainless steel can be produced in different degree with different treatment temperature after heat treatment. Deformation of the ferrite structure is caused by the change of the original microstructure
Other types of stainless steel are almost free of deformation before and after heat treatment.
You say stainless steel should refer to austenitic stainless steel, for austenitic stainless steel, there is no organizational stress, as long as the control of temperature stress, that is, heating, pay attention to slow heating. The amount of deformation of its solution treatment is very small.
But the shape of complex construction to prevent cooling process due to thermal expansion and contraction deformation occurred, so for large size or complex structure construction of the quenching rate is too high is not easy, the way to slow down the trend of oil quenching deformation
