Abstract
The hot deformation and densification behaviors of sintered P/F-10C50 steel were investigated by hot compression tests on Gleeble-1500 thermal mechanical simulator at the temperature ranging from 900 °C to 1000 °C and the strain rate ranging from 0.1 s-1 to 10 s-1. The flow and densification characteristics of the tested specimens at different deformation temperatures and strain rates were studied. The flow stress of the sintered steel persistently increases until the end of the test as the result of matrix and geometric work hardening. The higher deformation temperature and strain rate are conductive to the healing of the pores and promote the densification of the sintered steel, while the higher deformation temperature and lower strain rate impede the densification. The constitutive equation of the sintered steel is established by the means of stepwise regression. The flow stresses predicted by the established constitutive equation are in good agreement with the experimental values, and the correlation coefficient (R) and the average absolute relative error (AARE) are 0.9931 and 3.52%, respectively. These results demonstrate the hot deformation behaviors of the sintered P/F-10C50 steel are excellently predicted by the established constitutive equation.
