Packaging steel is characterized by low thickness (0.1 mm – 0.5 mm) and ferritic microstructure resulting from low carbon contents. In combination with continuous annealing processes and temper rolling, this results in only little elongation observed in tensile tests. However, as in real forming processes much higher deformation occurs, it is important to receive true stress-true strain data up to a highest possible level e.g. to characterize material for finite element analysis. Therefore, tensile tests with three different measuring lengths (80 mm, 50 mm, 20 mm) were conducted for the packaging steel TH415. Likewise, the testing speed was reduced to investigate the possibility to receive more elongation under the condition of a constant stress level. The results revealed a significant increase in elongation when using smaller tensile test geometries. As well, the reduction in testing speed leads to much higher elongation while showing only little strain rate influence. While for the 80 mm geometry and standard speed no homogenous forming condition could be reached due to early failure before Lüders strain, this could be improved by using smaller testing specimens and a lower strain rate. Combining the influence of strain rate and geometry a significant increase of more than ten percentage points in elongation was reached.

Low alloyed steels produced by continuous casting are thermomechanically treated to achieve final high mechanical properties, meaning a good combination of strength and toughness. The hot deformation mechanisms of a micro-alloyed steel containing up to 0.1wt% of V is studied by means of hot compression tests using a Gleeble®3800 device. Austenitization of samples is carried out at 1150°C during 2 minutes followed by cooling to the deformation temperature at 1Ks-1in the range of 750 – 1150°C. The studied strain rate range is from 0.01 to 80 s-1and the total true strain achieved is of 0.7. In situ water quenching is applied after the deformation to freeze the microstructure and avoid any post dynamic effect. The Ar3temperature is determined by dilatometry experiments to be 725°C for the used cooling rate. The stress values obtained from the compression tests are evaluated at different strains to determine the strain rate sensitivity and flow instability maps and thus, to predict the formability of the material in the range of studied deformation parameters. These maps are correlated to the microstructure at specific deformation parameters.

Al 7068-T651 alloy is one of the recently developed materials used mostly in the defense industry due to its high strength, toughness, and low weight compared to steels. The aim of this study is to identify the Johnson–Cook (J–C) material model parameters, the accurate Johnson–Cook (J–C) damage parameters, D1, D2, and D3 of the Al 7068-T651 alloy for finite element analysis-based simulation techniques, together with other damage parameters, D4 and D5. In order to determine D1, D2, and D3, tensile tests were conducted on notched and smooth specimens at medium strain rate, 100 s−1, and tests were repeated seven times to ensure the consistency of the results both in the rolling direction and perpendicular to the rolling direction. To determine D4 and D5 further, tensile tests were conducted on specimens at high strain rate (102 s−1) and temperature (300 °C) by means of the Gleeble thermal–mechanical physical simulation system. The final areas of fractured specimens were calculated through optical microscopy. The effects of stress triaxiality factor, rolling direction, strain rate, and temperature on the mechanical properties of the Al 7068-T651 alloy were also investigated. Damage parameters were calculated via the Levenberg–Marquardt optimization method. From all the aforementioned experimental work, J–C material model parameters were determined. In this article, J–C damage model constants, based on maximum and minimum equivalent strain values, were also reported which can be utilized for the simulation of different applications.

The paper summarizes results of tensile tests in low alloy steel (LAS) specimens (steels 15Kh2MFA and 15Kh2NMFA). Slow Strain Rate Tensile tests (SSRT) were performed in air at temperatures from 22 to 325°C over a wide range of strain rates from 2.5×10-6 to 1.67×10-3 s-1. The possible effect of strain rate and temperature to mechanical properties of tested LAS is searched for. The dynamic strain ageing (DSA) was observed within certain temperature ranges at lower strain rates tested and its hardening effect in terms of the maximum strengthening stress decreased linearly with the increase of log strain rate. It has been found that the occurrence of susceptibility to environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) of tested steels in high temperature water (HTW) is corelated to the DSA behavior. The result suggest that DSA reduces ductility of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel and its role in enhancing the EAC of RPV steels should not be neglected, in view of the coincidence with susceptibility zones for DSA and EAC in terms of strain rate and temperature. A reasonable coincidence was observed between the susceptibility to DSA exhibited by SSRT in air and with the EAC behavior observed in laboratory experiments.

AbstractIn this paper, the constitutive equation parameters (Johnson–Cook parameters) of the 33MnCrB5 material were determined with the help of tensile tests. Initially, Johnson–Cook (JC) model was used for performing the simulations of the sample with finite element analysis with the help of ANSYS software. For these operations, the sample was first used at a certain temperature (24 °C) and low strain rates (10−1, 10−2, 10−3 s−1) and quasi-static tensile tests were performed. Then, high temperature tensile tests were performed with strain rate values of 10−3 s−1 at temperatures of 300 °C, 600 °C, and 900 °C, respectively. Finally, JC parameters belonging to test materials were found in accordance with the results obtained from the high temperature tensile and quasi-static tests. In the last stage, the results obtained from the simulation software for the yield stress, maximum stress, and elongation values were compared with the experimental results. As a result, deviation values for quasi-static tests are calculated as 5.04% at yield stress, 5.57% at maximum stress, and 5.68% at elongation, while for high temperature, yield stress is 9.42%, maximum stress is 11.49% and the elongation value is 7.63%. The accuracy of JC parameters was verified with the comparison made with the obtained data.

This work was to clarify the characteristics of serrated flow in an austenitic FeMnC twin-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel at room temperature (RT) using both strain- and crosshead displacement-controlled tensile tests. Three types of serrations were observed in strain-controlled but not in displacement-controlled tests, indicating that strain-controlled tensile tests provide more deformation details. The occurrence of the different types of serrations depends on both strain rate and strain level. Type C serrations were observed in TWIP steels at RT for the first time. The critical strain for the onset of serrations exhibits a positive strain rate dependence at higher strain rates, whereas an “inverse” critical strain behavior was observed in the lower strain rate region.

ABSTRACTThis research work deals the influence of boron content on the high temperature deformation behavior of a low carbon advanced high strength steel (AHSS). For this purpose high temperature tensile and compression tests are carried out at different temperatures and constant true strain rates by using an Instron testing machine equipped with a radiant cylindrical furnace. Tensile tests are carried out at different temperatures (650, 750, 800, 900 and 1000°C) at a constant true strain rate of 0.001 s-1. Uniaxial hot compression tests are also performed over a wide range of temperatures (950, 1000, 1050 and 1100°C) and constant true strain rates (10-3, 10-2 and 10-1 s-1). In general, experimental results of hot tensile tests show an improvement of the hot ductility of the AHSS microalloyed with boron, although poor ductility at low temperatures (650 and 750°C). The fracture surfaces of the AHSS tested at temperatures showing the higher ductility (800, 900 and 1000°C) indicate that the fracture mode is a result of ductile failure, whereas in the region of poor ductility the fracture mode is of the ductile-brittle type failure. On the other hand, experimental results of hot compression tests show that both peak stress and peak strain tend to decrease in the AHSS microalloyed with boron, which indicates that boron generates a sort of solid solution softening effect in similar a way to other interstitial alloying elements in steel. Likewise, hot flow curves of the AHSS microalloyed with boron show an acceleration of the onset of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and a delay of the recrystallization kinetics. Results are discussed in terms of boron segregation towards austenitic grain boundaries and second phase particles precipitation during plastic deformation and cooling.

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of 5CrNiMoV steel was investigated through hot compression at temperatures of 830–1230°C and strain rates of 0.001–10 s−1. From the experimental results, most true stress-strain curves showed the typical nature of DRX that a single peak was reached at low strains followed by a decrease of stress and a steady state finally at relatively high strains. The constitutive behavior of 5CrNiMoV steel was analyzed to deduce the operative deformation mechanisms, and the correlation between flow stress, temperature, and strain rate was expressed as a sine hyperbolic type constitutive equation. Based on the study of characteristic stresses and strains on the true stress-strain curves, a DRX kinetics model was constructed to characterize the influence of true strain, temperature, and strain rate on DRX evolution, which revealed that higher temperatures and lower strain rates had a favorable influence on improving the DRX volume fraction at the same true strain. Microstructure observations indicated that DRX was the main mechanism and austenite grains could be greatly refined by reducing the temperature of hot deformation or increasing the strain rate when complete recrystallization occurred. Furthermore, a DRX grain size model of 5CrNiMoV was obtained to predict the average DRX grain size during hot forming.

An ultra-low carbon IF steel was heavily deformed up to an equivalent strain of 36 at various high temperatures of ferrite single-phase region and various strain rates. Effects of temperature and strain rate on the microstructures evolved in torsion deformation were clarified. On the other hand, it was found that homogeneous ultrafine grained structures were not obtained by the present torsion deformation though very high strain was applied. The coarser grain sizes than those obtained by conventional severe plastic deformation (like ARB) were due to the deformation at higher temperature and lower strain rate, but lower fraction of high-angle grain boundaries in the torsion specimen was suggested to be attributed to the characteristics of monotonic torsion (or simple shear) deformation including the way of strain evaluation.

Tensile tests were performed at constant strain rates from 10−2 to 10−5 min−1 on 5454-O and 1100-O aluminum alloys, A515 Grade 70 steel and B166 nickel alloy at room temperature and at elevated-temperature ranges where the design stress basis normally changes from tensile to creep-rupture controlled. The results in general showed that the strength of the alloys decreased at lower strain rates, and the sensitivity to strain rate was greater at elevated temperatures except where metallurgical phenomena such as dynamic strain aging negate the effects of strain rate. At the highest temperature the decrease in strength properties ranged from 11 to 50 percent over the strain rate range for different alloys.
