Tensile experiments were carried out on advanced high strength steel (AHSS) by the test machine Gleeble3500, under the temperature ranging from 650 to 850 and the strain rate of 0.1/s~5/s, and the corresponding stress-strain curves were obtained. The peak stress level decreases with the increasing of deformation temperature or the decreasing of strain rate, which can be represented by a ZenerHollomon parameter in a linear equation. A revised model describing the relationships between the peak stress, strain rate and temperature of advanced high strength steel at elevated temperatures was proposed by compensation of strain and strain rate. The comparison of the predicted and experimental results of stressstrain curve can prove the good predictive power of the model, the Adj. R-Square between the peak stress and the linear equation was reached to 0.97.

Ultra-high strength boron steel is widely used in a new hot stamping technology which is hot formed and die quenched simultaneously in order to obtain stamping parts with 1500MPa tensile strength or higher. Tensile experiments were carried out with ultra-high strength boron steel in a range of temperature 500°C~860°Cand strain rate 0.01/s~1/s with the thermal simulation testing machine Gleeble 3800, and the stress-strain curves were obtained. The influences of the deformation temperature and strain rate on the stress-strain curves were analyzed. The results show that hot behavior at elevated temperature of ultra-high strength boron steel consists of strain hardening and dynamic recovery mechanism, which can be accurately described by the mathematic model. Keywords: Ultra-high strength boron steel, hot stamping, hot flow behavior

High-temperature plastic flow is the underlying process that governs the product quality in many advanced metal manufacturing technologies, such as extrusion, rolling, and welding. Data and models on the high-temperature flow behavior are generally desired in the design of these manufacturing processes. In this paper, quantitative constitutive analysis is carried out on 3Cr-1Si-1Ni ultra-high strength steel, which sheds light on the mathematic relation between the flow stress and the thermal-mechanical state variables, such as temperature, plastic strain, and strain rate. Particularly, the hyperbolic-sine equation in combination with the Zener-Hollomon parameter is shown to be successful in representing the effect of temperature and strain rate on the flow stress of the 3Cr-1Si-1Ni steel. It is found that the flow stress of the 3Cr-1Si-1Ni steel is significantly influenced by strain. The strain-dependence on flow stress is not identical at different temperatures and strain rates. In the constitutive model, the influence of strain in the constitutive analysis is successfully implemented by introducing strain-dependent constants for the constitutive equations. Fifth-order polynomial equations are employed to fit the strain-dependence of the constitutive constant. The proposed constitutive equations which considers the compensation of strain is found to accurately predict flow stress of the 3Cr-1Si-1Ni steel at the temperatures ranging from 800 °C to 1250 °C, strain rate ranging from 0.01/s to 10/s, and strain ranging from 0.05 to 0.6.

The H13-mod steel optimized by composition and heat treatment has reached the performance index of the shield machine hob. The hot deformation behavior of the H13-mod steel was investigated by compression tests in the temperature range from 900 to 1150 °C and the strain rate range from 0.01 to 10 s−1. The true stress-strain curve showed that the rising stress at the beginning of deformation was mainly caused by work hardening. After the peak stress was attained, the curve drop and the flow softening phenomenon became more obvious at low strain rates. The flow behavior of the H13-mod steel was predicted by a strain-compensated Arrhenius-type constitutive equation. The relationship between the material constant in the Arrhenius-type constitutive equation and the true strain was established by a sixth-order polynomial. The correlation coefficient between the experimental value and the predicted value reached 0.987, which indicated that the constitutive equation can accurately estimate the flow stress during the deformation process. A good linear correlation was achieved between the peak stress (strain), critical stress (strain) and the Zener‒Hollomon parameters. The processing maps of the H13-mod steel under different strains were established. The instability region was mainly concentrated in the high-strain-rate region; however, the microstructure did not show any evidence of instability at high temperatures and high strain rates. Combined with the microstructure and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) test results under different deformations, the optimum hot working parameters were concluded to be 998–1026 °C and 0.01–0.02 s−1 and 1140–1150 °C and 0.01–0.057 s−1.

Hot compression tests were carried out on a Gleeble-3800 thermal mechanical simulator in the temperature range from 700 to 900 °C and strain rate range from 0.005 to 10 s−1 to investigate the hot deformation behavior of B1500HS high-strength steel. Softening mechanisms of B1500HS high-strength steel under different deformation conditions were analyzed according to the characteristics of flow stress–strain curves. By analyzing and processing the experimental data, the values of steady flow stress, saturated stress, dynamic recovery (DRV) softening coefficient, and other factors were solved and these parameters were expressed as functions of Zener–Hollomon factors. Based on the dislocation density theory and the kinetic model of dynamic recrystallization (DRX), constitutive models corresponding to different softening mechanisms were established. The flow stress–strain curves of B1500HS predicted by a constitutive model are in good agreement with the experimental results and the correlation coefficient is . The comparison results indicate that the constitutive models can accurately reflect the deformation behavior of B1500HS high-strength steel under different conditions.
