Abstract
The flow behavior of a novel Cr-Si alloyed hot stamping steel (Cr-Si steel) at elevated temperature was investigated via isothermal compression tests on a Gleeble-3500 thermomechanical simulator with a temperature range of 600 ∼ 900 °C and a strain rate range of 0.1 ∼ 10 s−1. Subsequently, the Arrhenius-type constitutive model, comprising strain compensation, was established in accordance with the friction and adiabatic heating corrected stress-strain curves. Furthermore, the predictability and prediction accuracy of the constitutive model were verified. The results reveal that at a constant strain rate, the flow stress of the Cr-Si steel initially increases as the strain increases before tending to stabilize, owning to the combined effects of work hardening and dynamic recovery. The peak flow stresses decrease as the temperatures increase and the strain rates decrease. The constitutive model can accurately predict the elevated temperature constitutive relationship of the Cr-Si steel during the hot stamping process.
