Abstract

Strain hardening behavior is known to strongly affect the formability of metallic sheets. The effect of lattice rotation on the hardening behavior of hexagonal close-packed (HCP) metals is numerically investigated using a homogenization-based crystal plasticity model to represent the polycrystalline behavior. The effect of lattice rotation on strain hardening behavior evaluated using different initial textures, and the geometrical hardening effect of HCP metals is investigated. In addition, the critical resolved shear stress of each slip system is varied and is shown to affects the strain hardening in HCP metals. In this study, we further discuss the possibility to improve the formability of HCP metals.
