Abstract

The mechanism of ridging formation in 17%-chromium stainless steel sheets was studied and a model was proposed. The characteristic surface relief due to ridging was well explained by the model; shear strains caused by tensile deformation in crystals oriented with [011] parallel to the rolling direction. The presence of crystals with such orientations was confirmed experimentally. Although ridging has been believed to be formed only by deep drawing or tensile deformation of annealed sheets, it was observed even on the surfaces of cold-rolled sheets in the present study.
