Softening Effects of 316 Stainless Steel in Low-Frequency Vibration Assisted Tension: Experiments and Modelling
摘要
Vibration assisted forming is widely used in the plastic forming of metals due to its advantages of reducing forming force and improving forming quality. Low-frequency vibration was superimposed during the uniaxial tensile tests of 316 stainless steel in this study, and the mechanical performance was obtained. The results indicate that softening effects occur during the low-frequency vibration assisted tension (LFVAT) compared to the conventional tension at the same strain. And the softening effects include the vibration softening effect and the residual softening effect. According to microstructure characterization, an increase in the easy-to-deform grains with orientation close to
