Abstract
The low cycle deformation saturation stress in Ferrovac-E a-iron was studied using diametral plastic strain (0.001 ≤ Δεdp/2 ≤ 0.0135) as the control variable. Increasing strain rate (6 × 10•5 s•1 • 4 × 10•3 s•1) and decreasing temperature (295 to 173 K) increased the saturation stress levels. The cyclic work hardening coefficient decreased from 0.18 at 295 K to 0.10 at 173 K, which is consistent with previous studies of monotonie deformation. The temperature dependence of both the saturation stress and the strain rate sensitivity, as measured during cyclic deformation, were similar to that measured during monotonic tensile tests. The temperature dependence of the dislocation velocity indexm* was in good agreement with published values from high cycle fatigue and monotonie tensile tests. Thus the same deformation mechanisms are believed to occur in both monotonie and large plastic cyclic deformation (Δεdp/2 ≥ 0.001) of a-iron.
