Effect of Microalloying Elements (B, Nb, V and Ti) on the Strain Hardening Behavior of High-Manganese TWIP Steels.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2012
Abstract
The present research work analyses the influence of microalloying elements (B, Nb, V and Ti) on the tensile strength and the strain hardening behavior of a high-manganese TWIP steel. The analysis was carried out by means of true stress-true strain curves derived from uniaxial tension tests. The work hardening exponent was determined by using the Hollomon and differential Crussard-Jaoul models. Metallographic characterization was carried out to determine the metallurgical changes associated with n values. The results indicate that the Hollomon analysis results in strain hardening exponent values up to 0.46. On the other hand, the differential Crussard-Jaoul analysis establishes a clear distinction of n value for two stages of plastic deformation which are determined by a sharp slope change in the plot of ln(dσ/dε)-lnε.
