Sheet metals are subjected to certain temperatures (25-200oC) and strain rates (1-10 s-1) during forming applications. These thermomechanical conditions may cause dynamic strain aging (DSA) in various grades of steels including dual phase (DP) steels. DSA represent itself as serrations in the stress-strain curves. Two grades of DP steels (DP590 and DP800) were studied systematically at different strain rates (10-3s-1-1s-1) and temperatures (25oC-400oC) to investigate the DSA effects on the mechanical properties and formability. Test results show that DSA controls the deformation behavior between 200oC - 300°C through serrations in the stress-strain curves of both grades. Increasing strain rates between these temperatures result in severe drops of uniform and total strain. Also with increasing negative strain rate sensitivity (NSRS) these drops in the ductility state weak formability. Besides the tests to identify DSA, a simple microstructural model on dislocation motion is developed to explain the responsible mechanisms for DSA and its effects on the jerky-serrative flow behavior.

Dynamic strain aging in DP steels at forming relevant strain rates and temperatures
BAYRAMIN, Berkay; Simsir, Caner; Efe, Mert (2017-09-17)
Mechanical testing of dual phase (DP) steels at low strain rates (10(-3) s(-1)) have shown that they are susceptible to dynamic strain aging (DSA) between 100 degrees C-400 degrees C. During industrial forming processes at intermediate strain rates (1-10(2) s(-1)), the local temperatures may rise to the DSA range due to deformation heating which may disturb the exceptional formability of these steels. In this study, two grades of DP steel (DP590 and DP800) are tested at thermomechanical conditions relevant ...
Non-destructive evaluation of residual stresses in the multi-pass steel weldments
Erian, Gökhan; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Batıgün, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012)
The purpose of this thesis is non-destructive determination of residual stress state in the multi-pass welded steel plates by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) technique. To control the effectiveness of the developed procedure, continuous MBN measurements on the heat affected zone and parent metal of the welded plates were performed. In the experimental part, various steel plates were welded with different number of weld passes. Various series of samples were prepared for residual stress and for angular defle...

Gören, Şahin; Gürbüz, Rıza; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2018)
In this study, effects of heat treatment parameters on microstructure, hardness and fatigue behavior of 15-5 precipitation hardenable stainless steels have been examined. Heat treatments have been conducted in three different steps homogenization, solutionizing and aging treatment at different temperatures and times. Microstructural analysis in terms of grain size and chemical composition analysis have been performed by optical and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Then, hardness measurements were applied...
Delamination of layered materials under impact loading
Dinç, Dinçer; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2003)
In this study, a cold worked tool steel and a low carbon steel ( St 37 ), which were joined by brazing, were subjected to impact and shear loading. The end product is used as paper cutting blades in the industry. Effects of different brazing filler metals on the delamination of the blades under impact loading and on the impact toughness of the blades were studied. The target is to achieve higher impact toughness values without delamination. Impact toughness of the steels, joined by Cu, CuNi and BNi brazing ...
Thin section high cooling rate solidification, thermomechanical processing and characterization of AISI DC53 cold work tool steel
Çardaklı, İsmail Seçkin; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019)
In this study, firstly, the solidification behaviour of AISI DC53 cold work tool steel was investigated by means of a cooling curve and its first derivative. Copper and sand wedge-shaped moulds were used to obtain various solidification rates. To reveal the cooling rate degree during solidification, the secondary dendrite arm spacing of the steel alloy was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The solidification rates of each section for both wedge steel samples were calculated by means of the sec...
