Abstract

Tensile tests were performed at strain rates ranging from 3.16 × 10−5 to 1.26 × 10−3 s−1 over a temperature range of 300 K to 923 K (27 °C to 650 °C) to examine the effects of temperature and strain rate on tensile deformation and fracture behavior of P92 ferritic steel. The variations of flow stress/strength values, work hardening rate, and tensile ductility with respect to temperature exhibited distinct three temperature regimes. The fracture mode remained transgranular. The steel exhibited serrated flow, an important manifestation of dynamic strain aging, along with anomalous variations in tensile properties in terms of peaks in flow stress/strength and work hardening rate, negative strain rate sensitivity, and ductility minima at intermediate temperatures. At high temperatures, the rapid decrease in flow stress/strength values and work hardening rate, and increase in ductility with increase in temperature and decrease in strain rate, indicated the dominance of dynamic recovery.
