In this study, the evolution of the mechanical properties of Fe–30Mn–9Al–1C steel has been determined in tensile tests at strain rates of 10−4 to 102 s−1. The results show that the strain rate sensitivity becomes a negative value when the strain rate exceeds 100 s−1 and this abnormal evolution is attributed to the occurrence of dynamic strain aging. Due to the presence of intergranular κ-carbides, the fracture modes of steel include ductile fracture and intergranular fracture. The values of dislocation arrangement parameter M were obtained using a modified Williamson–Hall plot. It has been found that once the strain rate sensitivity becomes negative, the interaction of dislocations in the steel is weakened and the free movement of dislocation is enhanced. Adiabatic heating promotes the dynamic recovery of steel at a high strain rate.

The behavior of dynamic strain aging (DSA) in a Zr-1.5Nb-0.4Sn-0.2Fe-0.1Cr alloy strip was investigated at temperature ranges of 25–600 °C via a tensile test. The tensile test was performed at two different strain rates 8.33 × 10<sup>-5</sup> and 1.67 × 10<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>. The shear stress of the alloy strip revealed a linear dependency on the test temperature when the specimens were tested under a higher strain rate (1.67 × 10<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>). However, the linear relationship was broken due to DSA when the samples were deformed under a lower strain rate (8.33 × 10<sup>-5</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>). The discrepancy was most significant at 400 °C. The trend in DSA behavior was similar irrespective of the orientation of the samples, i.e., rolling direction (RD) or transverse direction (TD). However, the effect of DSA was larger in the TD samples than the RD samples. The phenomena were interpreted to the variation in work hardening exponents and strain rate sensitivity. The value of the exponent decreased from 0.14 to 0.08 along a RD and from 0.1 to 0.07 along a TD, respectively. However, the smallest value was observed at 400–500 °C irrespective of the specimen orientation, which is consistent with the DSA behavior. It is suggested that the DSA was caused by an interaction of moving dislocations with solute atoms typically oxygen.

Strain rate jump tests were performed on the Fe-Mn-Cu-C TWIP Steels to determine the strain rate sensitivity, and serrated plastic flow was observed in the stress-strain curves during tensile tests at different constant strain rates ranging from 2.5×10-4S-1 to 2.5×10-2S-1. The Fe-Mn-Cu-C TWIP Steels exhibit high work hardening rate and outstanding mechanical properties, The excellent mechanical properties are attributed to dynamic strain aging(DSA) effect, which result from the interaction between Mn(Cu)-C atom atmosphere, C-vacancy, C-C pairs and moving dislocations.

A new multiscale modeling approach is proposed to predict the contributions of dynamic strain aging (DSA) and the resulting negative strain rate sensitivity (NSRS) on the unusual strain-hardening response of Hadfield steel (HS). Mechanical response of HS was obtained from monotonic and strain rate jump experiments under uniaxial tensile loading within the 10−4 to 10−1 s−1 strain rate range. Specifically, a unique strain-hardening model was proposed that incorporates the atomic-level local instabilities imposed upon by the pinning of dislocations by diffusing carbon atoms to the classical Voce hardening. The novelty of the current approach is the computation of the shear stress contribution imposed on arrested dislocations leading to DSA at the atomic level, which is then implemented to the overall strain-hardening rule at the microscopic level. The new model not only successfully predicts the role of DSA and the resulting NSRS on the macroscopic deformation response of HS but also opens the venue for accurately predicting the deformation response of rate-sensitive metallic materials under any given loading condition.

The dynamic tensile behavior of the twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel with the vanadium carbide is investigated at different strain rates of 10−4, 10−3, 10−2 and 0.05 s−1. Microstructure characterization, carried out using back scatter electron diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), shows a homogeneous face center cubic structured matrix with uniformly dispersed vanadium carbide. The vanadium carbide is controlled by the aging temperature and time. The best comprehensive mechanical properties are achieved when the tested steel is aged at 550 °C for 5 h. With the increase of strain rate, the tensile strength and work hardening rate decrease, and the tested material shows negative strain rate sensitivity. This would be due to an increase in stacking fault energy caused by temperature rise by adiabatic heating, which must suppress the formation of twinning. On the other hand, the strain rate sensitivity is affected by dynamic strain aging (DSA). With the increase of strain rate, the DSA weakens, which causes negative strain rate sensitivity. The tensile strength and strain rate sensitivity value both increase first and then decrease with the increase of vanadium carbide size. This is because the tensile strength is mainly affected by the vanadium carbide. In addition to the vanadium carbide, the strain rate sensitivity is also affected by the amount of solute atom (V and C) during the dynamic strain aging process.

Serrated flow has been observed in AZ81 alloy during tensile deformation. The observed static strain ageing effect and negative strain rate sensitivity suggest that the serrated flow is due to interaction between dislocations and solute atoms, know as dynamic strain ageing (DSA). The Portevin-Le Chatelier effect is observed at temperatures between 150oC~200oC and 125oC~200oC. In the microstructure of deformed samples dislocations and twins is observed. It is suggested that the occurrence of the dynamic strain aging is associated with interactions between solute atoms and dislocations.

The structure–property relationships of a vintage ASTM A7 steel is quantified in terms of stress state, temperature, and strain rate dependence. The microstructural stereology revealed primary phases to be 15.8% ± 2.6% pearlitic and 84.2% ± 2.6 ferritic with grain sizes of 13.3 μm ± 3.1 μm and 36.5 μm ± 7.0 μm, respectively. Manganese particle volume fractions represented 0.38–1.53% of the bulk material. Mechanical testing revealed a stress state dependence that showed a maximum strength increase of 85% from torsion to tension and a strain rate dependence that showed a maximum strength increase of 38% from 10−1 to 103 s−1at 20% strain. In tension, a negative strain rate sensitivity (nSRS) was observed in the quasi-static rate regime yet was positive when traversing from the quasi-static rates to high strain rates. Also, the A7 steel exhibited a significant ductility reduction as the temperature increased from ambient to 573 K (300 °C), which is uncommon for metals. The literature argues that dynamic strain aging (DSA) can induce the negative strain rate sensitivity and ductility reduction upon a temperature increase. Finally, a tension/compression stress asymmetry arises in this A7 steel, which can play a significant role since bending is prevalent in this ubiquitous structural material. Torsional softening was also observed for this A7 steel.
