Dynamic Strain Ageing in a Twin-Induced Plasticity Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

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.
