摘要

The reduced-activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel CLF-1 has been designed as a candidate structural material for nuclear fusion energy reactors. For engineering mechanical design, the effects of temperature on the strain distribution of CLF-1 steel during uniaxial tensile tests were explored within the temperature range from room temperature to 650 °C using uniaxial tensile tests combined with in situ digital image correlation analysis. Strain-concentrated regions alternately distributed ± 45° along the tensile direction could be attributed to the shear stress having the maximum value at ± 45° along the tensile direction and the coordinated deformation of the microstructure. The total strain distribution changed from a normal distribution to a lognormal distribution with increasing deformation owing to the competition between the elastic and plastic strains at all test temperatures. Strain localization has a strong relationship with temperature at the same engineering strain because of the temperature effects on dynamic strain aging (DSA). The stronger the DSA effect, the stronger the strain localization. With increasing temperature, the stronger the strain localization at the same strain, the weaker the plasticity, that is, DSA-induced embrittlement, and the slower the strength decline, that is, DSA-induced hardening.
