Abstract
The influence of the stress state on the plastic deformation of CMnSi, CMnSi(Nb), and CMnAlSi transformation induced plasticity (TRIP)-aided steel has been analyzed. Imposing hydrostatic pressures up to 800 MPa during tensile deformation made it possible to change the stress state of the tensile testing specimens. It was found that the ratio of normal to shear stresses has a pronounced effect on the evolution of the microstructure, the austenite volume fraction change during straining, and the fracture surface morphology. The CMnAlSi TRIP steel, which has the largest uniform elongation and the smallest equivalent strain at fracture in the absence of the hydrostatic pressure, had a more pronounced improvement of all plastic characteristics at increasing hydrostatic pressure. An increased austenite stabilization, brought about by the high hydrostatic pressure, was clearly observed. The austenite stabilization results in a decrease of 20 °C to 25 °C of M s for an increase of 100 MPa of the hydrostatic pressure. The implications of the observations could be far-reaching for new sheet forming technologies, such as hydroforming, as the full transformation potential is available for crashsensitive structural parts by avoiding the formation of the martensite during forming operations.
