During axisymmetric hot tensile testing, necking normally takes place due to the thermal gradient and the accumulation of microdamage. This paper introduces an integrated technique to predict the damage and necking evolution behaviour. Firstly, a set of multiaxial mechanism-based unified viscoplastic-damage constitutive equations is presented. This equation set, which models the evolution of grain boundary (intragranular) and plasticity-induced (intergranular) damage, is determined for a free-cutting steel tested over a range of temperatures and strain rates on a Gleeble thermomechanical simulator. This model has been implemented using the CREEP subroutine of the commercial finite element (FE) solver ABAQUS. Numerical procedures to simulate axisymmetric hot tensile deformation are developed with consideration of the thermal gradient along the axis of the tensile testpiece. FE simulations are carried out to reproduce the necking phenomenon and the evolution of plasticity-induced and grain boundary damage. The simulated results have been validated with experimental tensile test results. The effects of necking and its associated stress state on flow stress and ductility are investigated. The flow stress and ductility data obtained from a Gleeble material simulator under various hot deformation conditions have also been numerically studied.

To investigate the effect of hot working parameters on the flow behavior of 300M steel under tension, hot uniaxial tensile tests were implemented under different temperatures (950 °C, 1000 °C, 1050 °C, 1100 °C, 1150 °C) and strain rates (0.01 s−1, 0.1 s−1, 1 s−1, 10 s−1). Compared with uniaxial compression, the tensile flow stress was 29.1% higher because dynamic recrystallization softening was less sufficient in the tensile stress state. The ultimate elongation of 300M steel increased with the decrease of temperature and the increase of strain rate. To eliminate the influence of sample necking on stress-strain relationship, both the stress and the strain were calibrated using the cross-sectional area of the neck zone. A constitutive model for tensile deformation was established based on the modified Arrhenius model, in which the model parameters (n, α, Q, ln(A)) were described as a function of strain. The average deviation was 6.81 MPa (6.23%), showing good accuracy of the constitutive model.

The tensile strength of seventeen engineering materials including steels, Al alloys, and fiber-reinforced plastics, has been determined at strain-rates from 10−3 to 103 sec−1. Variable effects on the stress-strain behavior were found in the different materials with the Al alloys showing minimal strain-rate sensitivity and the plastics highest. All results exhibit a logarithmic dependence of flow stress on strain-rate and thus the dynamic factors (ratio of dynamic to low rate or quasi-static strengths) are as dependent upon changes in quasi-static testing speed (∼1 in./min (0.42 mm/s) as they are to changes at high speed (50,000 in./min or 50 mph (22.35 m/s). No significant influence of strain-rate on elongation or reduction in area has been found for any of the materials. Steels, which comprise the majority of the presently investigated materials, exhibit a higher rate sensitivity for yielding than for higher strain deformation. It is shown that the flow stress results for these steels leads to an internally consistent scheme when (1) strength level and (2) strengthening mechanisms are properly accounted for.

Uniaxial tensile deformation behavior of 5A90 aluminium-lithium alloy sheet is investigated in the hot forming with the temperature range of 200-450°C and strain rate range of 0.3×10-3-0.2×10-1s-1. It is found that the flow stress of 5A90 Al-Li alloy in uniaxial tension increase with increasing strain rate and decrease with increasing temperature, however, the tendency of total elongation is just the reverse, and the optimum forming temperature is 400°C. The strain rate sensitivity index (m-value) remarkably increases with increasing temperature for a given strain rate. It is shown that 5A90 Al-Li alloy sheet displays the sensitivity to the strain rate at elevated temperatures. For a given strain rate, the strain hardening index (n-value) decreases with increasing temperature, whereas the n-value increases above 350°C. The constitutive equation of stress, strain and strain rate for 5A90 Al-Li alloy at any temperature is obtained by fitting the experimental data, which gave a good flow stress model for the FEM simulation of hot forming.
