After heat treatment of 17-4 PH stainless steel, there is a change in r-values (Plastic strain ratio) of the steel. What can be the possible reasons behind this change, as no deformation is involved in this phenomenon. May be change in microstructure, phase change, dislocation density distribution or grain orientations ?

Kindly provide your valuable suggestions.
