Abstract

The Bauschinger effect was measured in the conventional tension-compression mode in five steels, AISI 1020, 1522, and 1035, ASTM A374 (Cor-Ten) and an HSLA Mn-Mo-Cb steel. The results were compared with those obtained by performing the forward strain at a temperature near the peak of dynamic strain aging for each of the steels and the subsequent reverse strain at room temperature. The dynamic strain aging process sharply reduced the extent of the Bauschinger effect and was particularly effective in re-storing the elastic portion of the flow curve during the reverse strain. We conclude that the straightening of steel parts after heat treatment should be done warm, in the dynamic strain aging range, whenever feasible.
