Abstract
In this paper, the hot forging behavior of Mn18Cr18N steel is studied based on the viewpoint of meso-damage. According to high temperature tensile stress - strain curve of Mn18Cr18N steel under different temperatures, the relationships of void initiation strain and fracture strain with deformation temperature are obtained. The temperature dependence of damage threshold is obtained at 950°C~1200°C for Mn18Cr18N steel by Cockcroft & Latham criterion, That is, Ci,f value increases monotonously with temperature increasing. The corresponding deformation amounts of void initiation and fracture appearing are predicted accurately by combining Cockcroft & Latham criterion with finite element analysis during hot forging of Mn18Cr18N steel, which is in good agreement with the actual production. Under these experimental conditions, once upsetting deformation amount should be controlled in 50% based on hot upsetting test and finite element simulation. These provide theoretical instruction for preventing forging cracking of Mn18Cr18N steel.
