Abstract

Two DP 980 steels were characterized with multiple methods to determine its microstructure characteristics, tensile properties and edge stretchability. The first (DP980-B) is a commercial grade DP980 steel produced by AK Steel, while the second (DP980-T) is a modification of the first one by a tempering process. Both contain two individual phases: ferrite and martensite with body centered cubic (BCC) and tetragonal (BCT) crystal structure respectively. ASTM standard tensile tests were performed for both materials, revealing that DP980-B has higher work hardening and larger total elongation than DP980-T. Standard hole piercing and subsequent hole expansion and extrusion tests were also performed. The critical hole expansion ratio (HER) of hole pierced sheet at different nominal clearances, on the other hand, show an opposite trend: the HER of DP980-T almost doubles that of DP980-B. This indicates the tensile ductility and edge stretchability are determined by different mechanisms due to different deformation modes. The ductility of sheet metal during uniaxial tension is determined by deformation instability, i.e. necking, due to less constraint at the region of deformation and fracture will occur quickly after necking. The contribution of post-necking deformation to the total elongation is insignificant for the high strength grades such as DP980more »« less

The ductility of sheet metal during uniaxial tension is determined by deformation instability, i.e. necking, due to less constraint at the region of deformation and fracture will occur quickly after necking. The contribution of post-necking deformation to the total elongation is insignificant for the high strength grades such as DP980 steels. The ductility during hole-expansion, however, is mainly determined by material fracture behavior that is dependent on phase property disparity and material intrinsic fracture parameters. With the individual phase properties for both DP steels determined by in situ tensile tests under high energy X-ray diffraction, the results show that DP980-T steel has lower property disparities between the two phases than DP980-B steel, due to the tempering process. This explains why the DP980-T steel has higher HER than DP980-B steel: lower phase disparity will lead to less local deformation during loading. The higher work hardening rate for DP980-B steel contributes to its higher uniform elongation compared with DP980-T steel based on the maximum load condition of deformation instability. An integrated finite element simulation framework for studying hole expansion is also presented here, based on the calculated individual phase properties from the combined high energy x-ray diffraction (HEXRD) and elastic plastic self-consistent modeling. The simulation results correlate well with the experimental results on the HER difference between the two materials.},

Irradiation hardening and ductility loss of Eurofer97 steel variants after neutron irradiation to ITER-TBM relevant conditions

Journal Article Bhattacharya, Arunodaya ; Chen, Xiang ; Graening, Tim ; ... - Fusion Engineering and Design

Ten Eurofer97 steel variants, produced by non-standard fabrication-processing routes and modified alloying chemistries, were studied by neutron irradiations in the high flux isotope reactor. The irradiations were performed to ITER-TBM relevant conditions of ~255–350 °C, 2.94–3.24 dpa. We quantified the irradiation-induced degradation of the steels using mechanical property tests. All the steels suffered from irradiation hardening, where a significant increase in Vickers microhardness and yield stress (σ_YS) occurred, accompanied with severe loss of tensile elongation. The extent of hardening was material dependent. For T_irr = 300±30 °C, most steels showed σ_YS increase in the range of ~30% to as highmore »« less

Effect of Martensite Content on Failure Behavior of Laser Welded Dual-Phase Steel Joints During Deformation

Journal Article Huan, Peng-Cheng ; Wang, Xiao-Nan ; Yang, Lei ; ... - Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance

Laser welding was applied to three types of dual-phase (DP) steel sheets (DP590, DP780, and DP980) with different martensite contents. The microstructure of laser welded joints was observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope, and the hardness of welded joints was measured by a microhardness tester. The tensile testing machine and the Erichsen test machine were employed to measure the tensile properties and forming properties of welded joints, respectively. The microstructure model showed that the welded joints of three different materials all contained a hardened zone (HZ) that was composed of a fusion zone, a coarse-grained heat-affected zone, andmore »« less

Relationship between Material Properties and Local Formability of DP980 Steels

Conference Choi, Kyoo Sil ; Soulami, Ayoub ; Li, Dongsheng ; ...

A noticeable degree of inconsistent forming behaviors has been observed for the 1st generation advanced high strength steels (AHSS) in production, and they appear to be associated with the inherent microstructural-level inhomogeneities for various AHSS. This indicates that the basic material property requirements and screening methods currently used for the mild steels and high strength low alloys (HSLA) are no longer sufficient for qualifying today’s AHSS. In order to establish more relevant material acceptance criteria for AHSS, the fundamental understandings on key mechanical properties and microstructural features influencing the local formability of AHSS need to be developed.

Microstructures and mechanical properties of compositionally complex Co-free FeNiMnCr₁₈ FCC solid solution alloy

Journal Article Wu, Z. ; Bei, H. - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

Recently, a structurally-simple but compositionally-complex FeNiCoMnCr high entropy alloy was found to have excellent mechanical properties (e.g., high strength and ductility). To understand the potential of using high entropy alloys as structural materials for advanced nuclear reactor and power plants, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of their structural stability and mechanical properties degradation under neutron irradiation. Furthermore, this requires us to develop a similar model alloy without Co because material with Co will make post-neutron-irradiation testing difficult due to the production of the ⁶⁰Co radioisotope. In order to achieve this goal, a FCC-structured single-phase alloy with amore »« less

Quantifying the effects of tempering on individual phase properties of DP980 steel with nanoindentation

Journal Article Cheng, G. ; Zhang, F. ; Ruimi, A. ; ... - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

We conduct a series of thermal and mechanical testing on a commercial dual phase (DP) 980 steel in order to quantify the effects of tempering on its individual phase properties. Tempering treatment is conducted at 250 °C and 400 °C for 60 minutes each. Ferrite and martensite grains are distinguished using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and scanning probe microscopy (SPM), and the martensite volume fractions (MVF) are determined based on the image quality (IQ) map. Multi-scale indentation tests combined with a newly developed inverse method are used to obtain the individual phase flow properties in each tempered DP980 sample. Themore »« less
