The deformation behavior of a nanograined/ultrafine-grained (NG/UFG) austenitic stainless steel characterized by high strength high ductility combination is investigated via nanoindentation and electron microscopy, and the behavior compared with its coarse-grained (CG) counterpart. In NG/UFG steel, mechanical twinning was an active deformation mechanism, while in CO steel, nucleation of strain-induced martensite at the shear bands occurred. The differences in deformation mechanisms of NG/UFG and CO steels are reflected in the discrete burst in the force displacement plots and attributed to austenite stability.
