The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed an experimental technique to measure the dynamic flow stress of metals under rapid heating to study their time-dependent plastic response when heating times are short enough to interrupt or bypass thermally driven microstructural evolution. Such conditions may exist as chips are formed in the machining process. Measurements of American Iron and Steel Institute1045 steel behavior up to 1000 °C showed complex thermal softening due to dynamic strain aging effects and the diffusion-limited austenite transformation process beginning at the A1 temperature (712 °C). This paper proposes a constitutive model to capture the flow stress and hardening evolution of 1045 steel under rapidly heated conditions for simulating metal cutting. The model combines the Preston-Tonks-Wallace plasticity model, which uses five parameters to capture complex rate- and temperature-sensitive strain hardening, with a dual-rate-sensitivity model to capture the response of rapidly heated 1045 steel. Finally, a strain-rate-dependent Gaussian function is introduced to capture dynamic strain aging effects, which act over a narrow range of temperatures that change with strain rate. The proposed model is compared to existing plasticity models for 1045 steel over the range of data available and at a representative machining condition.

In this study, the flow stress behavior of ferritic-pearlitic steel (C45E steel) is investigated through isothermal compression testing at different strain rates (1 s−1, 5 s−1, and 60 s−1) and temperatures ranging from 200 to 700 °C. The stress-strain curves obtained from experimental testing were post-processed to obtain true stress-true plastic strain curves. To fit the experimental data to well-known material models, Johnson-Cook (J-C) model was investigated and found to have a poor fit. Analysis of the flow stress as a function of temperature and strain rate showed that among other deformation mechanisms dynamic strain aging mechanism was active between the temperature range 200 and 400 °C for varying strain rates and J-C model is unable to capture this phenomenon. This lead to the need to modify the J-C model for the material under investigation. Therefore, the original J-C model parameters A, B and n are modified using the polynomial equation to capture its dependence on temperature and strain rate. The results show the ability of the modified J-C model to describe the flow behavior satisfactorily while dynamic strain aging was operative.

Abstract A practical methodology is presented to characterize the thermoviscoplastic flow stress at larger strain over the temperature range of cold metal forming using tensile and compression tests. Its importance is emphasized for non-isothermal finite element (FE) analysis of automatic multi-stage cold forging (AMSCF) process where maximum strain and strain rate exceed around 3.0 and 200/s, respectively. The experimental compressive flow stress is first characterized using traditional bilinear C-m model with high accuracy. It is employed for describing the closed-form function model to extrapolate the experimental flow stress over the experimentally uncovered ranges of state variables. The strain effect on the flow stress is then improved using the experimental tensile flow stress accurately calculated at large strain and room temperature. A complicated flow behavior of S25C characterized by its dynamic strain aging features is expressed by the presented methodology, which is utilized to analyze the test upsetting and AMSCF processes by the elasto-thermoviscoplastic finite element method for revealing the effects of flow stresses on the process.

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.

The dynamic strain aging (DSA) behavior of SA508-III steel was evaluated through tensile tests with different strain rates from 10-4 to 10-1s-1 at 350°C. The OM, SEM and TEM were carried out to observe the microstructures and fracture morphologies of the steel. The results show that the serrated flows appear in the stress-strain curves when the strain rate is between 10-3~10-2s-1, indicating that DSA occurs. Under the strain rate range, the tensile strength increases and the elongation and the reduction of area decrease. However, the fracture surface of the steel after tensile tests is still ductile. DSA in SA508-III steel at the strain rates from10-3 to 10-2s-1 is mainly caused by the interaction between the internal solute atoms and dislocations, which leads to the dislocations multiplication and the formation of sub-grain boundaries and dislocation cell structure.
