A new advanced dual-phase (DP) steel characterized by ferrite and bainite presence in equal fractions has been studied within this paper. The anisotropy change of this steel was assessed as a progressively more severe cold rolling process was introduced. Specifically, tensile tests were used to build a strain-hardening curve, which describes the evolution of this DP steel's mechanical properties as the thinning level increases from 20 to 70% with 10% step increments. As expected, the cold rolling process increases mechanical properties, profoundly altering the material's microstructure, which was assessed in depth using Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) analysis coupled with the Kernel Average Misorientation (KAM) maps. At the same time, the process strongly modifies the material planar anisotropy. Microstructural and mechanical assessment and the Kocks-Mecking model applied to this steel evidenced that a 50% strain hardening makes the DP steel isotropic. The material retains or resumes anisotropic behavior for a lower or higher degree of deformation. Furthermore, the paper evaluated the forming limit of this DP steel and introduced geometric limitations to testing the thin steel plates' mechanical properties.
本文研究了一种新型的先进双相(DP)钢,其特征是铁素体和贝氏体含量相等。随着冷轧工艺逐渐变得更加严苛,对这种钢的各向异性变化进行了评估。具体而言,通过拉伸试验构建了应变硬化曲线,该曲线描述了随着减薄率从20%增加到70%(以10%的步长递增),这种双相钢力学性能的演变。正如预期的那样,冷轧工艺提高了力学性能,深刻改变了材料的微观结构,通过电子背散射衍射(EBSD)分析结合核平均取向差(KAM)图对微观结构进行了深入评估。同时,该工艺强烈改变了材料的平面各向异性。对这种钢进行的微观结构和力学评估以及应用的科克斯 - 梅金模型证明,50%的应变硬化使双相钢呈现各向同性。对于较低或较高程度的变形,材料保持或恢复各向异性行为。此外,本文评估了这种双相钢的成形极限,并引入了几何限制来测试薄钢板的力学性能。
