Abstract

The basic factors relating to the rheological stress in the constitutive equations were introduced. Carbon constructional quality steels were regarded as a kind of elastic-viscoplastic materials under high temperature and the elastic-viscoplastic constitutive models were summarized. A series of tension experiments under the same temperature and different strain rates, and the same strain rate and different temperatures were done on 20 steel, 35 steel and 45 steel. 52 groups of rheological stress—strain curves were obtained. The experimental results were analyzed theoretically. The rheological stress constitutive models of carbon steels were built combining the strong points of the Perzyna model and Johnson-Cook model. Comparing the calculation results conducted from the model with the experiment results, the results proves that the model can reflect the temperature effect and strain rate effect of carbon constructional quality steels better.
