Effects of Strain Rate on Energy Absorption of High Strength TRIP Steel

Abstract:

In this paper, the energy absorption properties of 600 MPa and 800MPa grade TRIP and DP steels under different strain rates were investigated. It was shown that the deformation of dynamic specimens concentrated in parallel section under quasi-static stretching, and the strain rate had nothing to do with the energy absorption of these four steel. In the dynamic tension, the TRIP steel had a better energy absorption capacity than it in the quasi-static condition. However, the energy absorption properties of DP steel were not the case. And with the increasing of the strain rate, the energy absorption of these four steel decreased. It was because that instead of “gradual transition”, the transformation of retained austenite changed to “instantaneous transition” in dynamic tension. It made the energy absorption become smaller than it in static tension. Meanwhile, the ductility and the energy absorption capacity of the DP steel were improved, which effected by the adiabatic temperature rise. Owing to suppression of plastic deformation of these steel in dynamic tension, the energy absorption capacity of these four steel decreased with the increasing of strain rate.
