Tensile Behavior and Mechanical Performance Analysis of High-Strength Steels at Varying Strain Rates
-
摘要: 高强钢因强度高、塑性好、耐腐蚀性优异而得到广泛应用。然而，高强钢具有显著的应变率敏感性。为此，针对2种高强钢（Ultrafort 401和Ferrium S53钢），开展了不同应变率下（10−4～103 s−1）的拉伸试验，获得了屈服强度、抗拉强度、硬化指数等性能参量，并深入分析了其随应变率变化的规律。不同应变率下，Ferrium S53钢的拉伸性能始终优于Ultrafort 401钢，但两者却表现出不同的变化趋势。随着应变率的增加，Ultrafort 401钢的屈服强度和抗拉强度均增大，而Ferrium S53钢的屈服强度增大，抗拉强度先减小后增大。结合微观结构表征发现，Ferrium S53钢所具有的较高的屈服强度与其初始晶粒尺寸更小有关，2种高强钢的抗拉强度随应变率增加所表现出的不同变化趋势则与应变硬化响应差异有关。随着应变率的升高，Ultrafort 401钢的韧窝尺寸增大，而Ferrium S53钢的韧窝尺寸先减小后增大，说明2种高强钢的应变硬化水平随着应变率升高而呈现不同的变化趋势。研究结果为高强钢在不同加载条件下的力学性能评估提供了科学依据，对高强钢的工程应用具有一定的指导意义。Abstract: High-strength steels are widely employed due to their excellent combination of high strength, good ductility, and corrosion resistance. However, they often exhibit significant strain rate sensitivity. In this study, two types of high-strength steels, Ultrafort 401 and Ferrium S53 steels, were investigated. Tensile tests were conducted at varying strain rates (10−4−103 s−1), to obtain the yield strength, the tensile strength, the uniform elongation, the hardening index and other performance parameters. The variations of these parameters with strain rate were thoroughly analyzed. It was observed that under different strain rates, Ferrium S53 steel consistently outperformed Ultrafort 401 steel in terms of tensile properties, while they exhibited different trends. As the strain rate increased, both of the yield strength and the tensile strength of Ultrafort 401 steels increased, while for Ferrium S53 steels the yield strength of increased, and the tensile strength decreased and then increased. Combined with the microstructure analysis, it is found that the higher yield strength of Ferrium S53 steel was related to the smaller grain sizes, while the different tensile strength trends of the two high-strength steels with the increase of strain rate were associated with differences in strain hardening response. With the increase of strain rate, the dimple size of Ultrafort 401 steels increases, whereas it decreases and then increases for Ferrium S53 steels. This indicates a different pattern of change in the strain hardening level of the two high-strength steels with increasing strain rate. The findings in this work provide a scientific basis for assessing the mechanical performance of high-strength steels under various loading conditions and hold significant implications for their engineering applications.
