This investigation studied the relationship between the dislocation microstructure and the backstress in type 304 stainless steel deformed at 750 and 850 C ({approximately} 0.6 and 0.7 Tm), at a strain-rate of 4.0 {times} 10{sup {minus}4} s{sup {minus}1}. Hollow torsion specimens were deformed to various transient strains between 0.05 and 0.45 at these conditions. Bauschinger effect tests were performed within this strain regime. Backstresses were calculated from these tests. Solid torsion specimens were deformed at the same temperature-strain rate combination as the hollowed (Bauschinger effect test) specimens. The solid specimens were quenched at strains identical to those at which Bauschinger effect tests were performed on the hollow specimens. The microstructures of the quenched specimens were examined by TEM. The correlation between the backstress and the microstructure revealed that the backstress or kinematic hardening in 304 stainless steel, at these temperatures, does not (in contrast to other investigations) appear to be strongly dependent on the microstructural heterogeneity provided by subgrain or cell boundaries.
