Strain Rate-Dependent Tensile Properties of Duplex Low-Density Steel
摘要
The deformation behavior of duplex low-density steel with moderate stacking fault energy (62.3 mJ/m2) is highly dependent on the strain rate. At a high strain rate (10−1 s−1), a significantly higher density of deformation twins and microbands is introduced into the matrix, in addition to planar slip and martensite transformation. This results in a notable increase in the ultimate tensile strength by approximately 90 MPa (an 11.4% increase) and total elongation by about 17.5% (a 120.7% increase), compared to the low strain rate of 10−5 s−1. It is hoped that this experimental study will inspire mechanistic modeling efforts using crystal plasticity, particularly focusing on strain rate sensitivity and twinning, to predict the performance of duplex low-density steel.
