The influence of plastic strain rate, plastic strain amplitude, and temperature interval on the dislocation arrangements which are formed during thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) of the austenitic stainless steel AISI 304L in true' plastic-strain control have been investigated. At temperatures below the creep regime and/or at high-plastic strain rates, a typical dislocation arrangement called the layer/wall structure has been observed. It can be regarded to be a consequence of impeded dynamic recovery, whereby the lack of creep processes and the occurrence of dynamic strain aging contribute to the formation of this structure. With increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate, a transition takes place to subgrain-type microstructure as a result of enhanced creep-fatigue interaction. The influence of various parameters on the developing dislocation arrangements is discussed and summarized in a dislocation map.
