Abstract

A two-dimensional micromechanical model based on the finite element method is presented to model two-phase ferritic/pearlitic steels, by aid of generalised plane strain elements. A periodic representative cell containing 100 ferrite grains, and the desired fraction pearlite is used. By applying periodic boundary conditions, loading by an average stress or strain state is possible.

Uniaxial tensile tests were performed on specimens containing the ferrite and pearlite microstructures, and on two-phase materials containing 25% and 58% pearlite respectively. The stress-strain data of the pearlite material is used to fit a laminar dependent Taylor relation to represent the pearlite workhardening. Thereafter, laminar spacings in the two-phase materials are measured, and the total stress-strain response of the materials is modelled. Comparisons between generated data and experiments show good agreement up to a strain of 2%.
