3D Digital Image Correlation

Abstract High-strength steel plays an important role in engineering fields such as infrastructure. For this reason, an accurate determination of its mechanical properties is of critical importance. Considering the inconvenience of conventional mechanical extensometers for the deformation measurement of small-scale specimens, 3D digital image correlation (3D-DIC) was used to measure the deformation of Grade 8.8 bolts and Q690 high-strength steel specimens by means of a uniaxial tensile test, and in this way, stress–strain curves, elastic modulus, yield strength, tensile strength, percentage elongation after fracture, and percentage reduction of area were obtained. Experimental results show that Grade 8.8 bolts and Q690 steel result in higher yield strength and tensile strength than common steel. Moreover, owing to the phenomenon that stress remains constant with strain increase in the yielding stage, the evolution process from elastic deformation to plastic deformation of the specimens during the yielding stage could be studied. Experimental results show that the axial strain of Grade 8.8 bolts increases from 0.3 to 1 % during the yielding stage and for Q690 specimens the corresponding strain increases from 0.4 to 1.8 %.

Identification Procedure

Identification of the mechanical properties of high-strength steel using digital image correlation. In this paper an experimental procedure to identify the plastic behaviour of sheet metals up to large strains using full field measurement is presented. The tests were conducted on notched specimens. This geometry generates a heterogeneous strain field which was measured during the test using a digital image correlation system. The advantage of using a heterogeneous strain field in the identification procedure is that a complex state of stress-strain can be analyzed at the same time and much more information can be obtained in a single test. On the other hand, the stress field cannot be directly computed from the test and a suitable identification procedure must be developed. Here, the virtual fields method (VFM) adapted for large strains and plasticity was used to identify the hardening behaviour and the anisotropy of the material. The values obtained with the VFM were compared with the results from a standard identification made using uniaxial tensile tests.

This article is aimed at determining the mechanical properties of high-strength steel obtained by digital image correlation for specimens with a hole in different rolling direction. This geometry generates a heterogeneous strain field which was measured during the test using a digital image correlation system. The advantage of using a heterogeneous strain field in the identification procedure is that a complex state of stress-strain can be analyzed at the same time and much more information can be obtained in a single test. On the other hand, the stress field cannot be directly computed from the test and a suitable identification procedure must be developed. Here, the virtual fields method (VFM) adapted for large strains and plasticity was used to identify the hardening behaviour and the anisotropy of the material. The values obtained with the VFM were compared with the results from a standard identification made using uniaxial tensile tests.

Abstract The paper analyzes the influence of different heat treatment processes on the mechanical properties of low-alloy high-strength steel denoted by Polish Standard (PN) as 10MnVNb6. One of the findings is that, after aging, the mechanical properties of rolled steel are high: the yield strength may reach > 600 MPa, and the ultimate tensile strength is > 700 MPa. These properties are largely dependent on the grain size and dispersion of the strengthening phase in the ferrite matrix. Aging applied after hot rolling contributes to a considerable rise in the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength. The process of normalization causes a decrease in the average grain size and coalescence (reduction of dispersion) of the strengthening phase. When 10MnVNb6 steel was aged after normalization, there was not a complete recovery in its strength properties.

Modern high-strength steels achieve their strength exclusively through the manufacturing process, as the chemical composition of these steels is very similar to the composition of standard-quality steels. Typically, hot-dip galvanizing is used to form a protective zinc layer on the steel parts of structures; nonetheless, the material is exposed to high temperatures during the process. With high-strength steels, this can lead to deterioration of the mechanical properties. This study aims to experimentally examine and evaluate the extent of deterioration of the mechanical properties of high-strength-steel members. The effect was studied on specimens made of three different types of steel with the yield strength ranging from 460 to 1250 MPa. For each type of steel, selected mechanical properties—yield strength, tensile strength, and hardness—were determined on specimens with and without hot-dip galvanization, and the obtained results were mutually compared. Our study shows a significant impact of the hot-dip galvanization process on the mechanical properties of some high-strength steels. With the studied types of steel, the yield strength decreased by up to 18%, the tensile strength by up to 13%, and the hardness by up to 55%.

Single Lap Joints

Structural adhesives methods for joining multi material sheets have been focus of studies and researches for the last years. The most common and widely known type of test is the tensile test of single lap joints (SLJ). However, there are opportunities for analyzing the mechanical performance of such method in SLJ with materials of different properties, such as ductile structural aluminum alloys and high strength steels. It’s also known that the stress state of SLJ, when stressed longitudinally, generates secondary forces. One of them is known as cleavage force which initially leads to the failure of bonded joints. The aim of this work is to analyze the stress state of similar and dissimilar materials SLJ submitted to tensile stresses and also the influence of some variables, such as overlap length, adhesive film thickness and adherend yield limit, over the stress strength of the samples. As adherend materials it was selected the structural aluminum alloy AA 5083 H111 and the high strength steel DP600. At the end of this work it is expected to understand the proper stress state of the SLJ when using similar and dissimilar materials, identifying stress concentrators that bring the structure to fail, using the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method. It was discovered that the yield strength associated with the overlap length highly influences the SLJ strength, by leading it to a close to pure adhesive shear stress state.

Ultra High Strength Steel

A low-carbon, titanium and niobium (Ti-Nb) bearing and a low-carbon titanium, niobium and copper (Ti-Nb-Cu) bearing ultra high strength steel have been thermo-mechanically processed on a laboratory scale unit. Evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of the above air cooled steels have been studied at different finish rolling temperatures (FRTs). Microstructural characterization reveals largely a mixture of granular bainite and bainitic ferrite along with the precipitation of microalloying carbide/carbonitride particles and/or Cu-rich precipitates. (Ti-Nb) bearing steel yields higher yield strength (1114-1143 MPa) along with higher tensile strength (1591-1688 MPa) and moderate ductility (12-13%) as compared to (Ti-Nb-Cu) bearing steel having yield strength (934-996 MPa) combined with tensile strength (1434-1464 MPa) and similar ductility (13%) for the selected range of 850-750°C FRT. Due to higher strength-ductility combinations, these present investigated steels can be regarded as the replacement material for ballistic applications as well as other sectors like defense, pipeline, cars, pressure vessels, ships, offshore platforms, aircraft undercarriages and rocket motor casings etc. Key words: Thermo-mechanical controlled processing, ultra high strength steel, microstructure, mechanical properties.
