Abstract
This paper investigates the stress–strain curves of different load paths and the initial yield surface of a metastable austenitic stainless cast steel under biaxial planar loading using cruciform specimens. These tests were carried out on a 250 kN biaxial servohydraulic tension-compression testing machine. The laborious stress determination was undertaken with a new testing method by using global elastic unloading to measure the local stiffness. Isotropic yielding and mainly isotropic strain hardening were found. To evaluate the microstructure, the martensite formation was detected by use of a ferrite sensor and scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction were applied.
