Abstract
The aim of this work is to study the mechanical properties of a nitrogen austenitic stainless steel (Uranus B66) and their relation to its microstructural evolution. Quasi-static (10 −3 s −1) and quasi-dynamic (1 s −1) compression tests have been carried out with a universal servo-hydraulic testing machine. Dynamic (>10 3 s −1) compression tests have been performed on a classical split-Hopkinson bar apparatus. These tests, which cover a wide range of plastic strain, show that the material has a high-strain hardening rate, a good ductility and a great strain rate sensitivity. The temperature sensitivity has been determined over a large range, going from 77 K to 673 K. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations have been conducted in order to correlate the microstructure to the mechanical behaviour. Uranus B66 undergoes basically the same structure evolution during both quasi-static and dynamic compression tests. The plastic deformation is governed initially by planar gliding, followed by mechanical twinning when the dislocation density is saturated.
