Abstract: | A constitutive relation is presented in this paper to describe the plastic behavior of ferritic steel over a broad range of
temperatures and strain rates. The thermo-mechanical behavior of high strength low alloy (HSLA-65) and DH-63 naval structural
steels is considered in this study at strains over 40%. The temperatures and strain rates are considered in the range where
dynamic strain aging is not effective. The concept of thermal activation analysis as well as the dislocation interaction mechanism
is used in developing the flow model for both the isothermal and adiabatic viscoplastic deformation. The flow stresses of
the two steels are very sensitive to temperature and strain rate, the yield stresses increase with decreasing temperatures
and increasing strain rates. That is, the thermal flow stress is mainly captured by the yield stresses while the hardening
stresses are totally pertained to the athermal component of the flow stress. The proposed constitutive model predicts results
that compare very well with the measured ones at initial temperature range of 77 K to 1000 K and strain rates between 0.001 s−1 and 8500 s−1 for both steels. |
