Resumo: Austenitic stainless steels have low economic value compared to titanium and its alloys, considered the most resistant to corrosion in biological environment, and for over fifty years are widely used in the manufacture of orthopedic implants, particularly in public health service. Currently the ISO 5832-1 steel (ASTM F 138) is the most used in the manufacture of orthopedic prosthesis, especially the temporary ones. However, because it is susceptible to localized corrosion when in contact with human tissue, it is being gradually replaced by austenitic stainless steel of low carbon and high nitrogen called ISO 5832-9. The same is already used extensively in Europe and the United States, while in Brazil it's use is more recent and smaller scale. This work investigates the behavior of dynamic recrystallization in an ISO 5832-9 steel through hot torsion tests and optical microscopy, for different conditions of temperature, strain and strain rate. It was found through the plastic flow curves of the studied material crystallizes dynamically and that the high value of its apparent activation energy for deformation can be attributed to the presence of a large amount of precipitated particles and nitrogen dissolved in the matrix. Micrographs confirmed that tests carried out at low temperatures reveal a strong retardation of dynamic recrystallization. Moreover, the presence of serrated grain boundaries and nucleation of new grains in the old deformed grain boundaries, are strong indications that the recrystallization occurred by a necklace mechanism. The behavior of the average recrystallized grain size, DDRX, with temperature resembles the behavior of the austenitic grain growth in microalloyed steels. The presence of a minimum in the behavior of DDRX with the strain rate can be attributed to a minimum strain rate required to cause the greatest amount of dynamics precipitation.
