Abstract

The localization of plastic strain in the extension of 08ps low-carbon steel is compared after hot rolling and after electrolytic saturation with hydrogen by means of a three-electrode electrochemical cell. Analysis of the strain curves shows that they include a plasticity region, a stage of linear strain hardening, and a stage of parabolic strain hardening (Taylor hardening). Double-exposure speckle photography is used to visualize the localized strain zones. On that basis, the quantitative deformation characteristics may be obtained. In other words, the displacement-vector field in a plane sample under extension may be determined, and then the components of the plastic distortion tensor (the local elongation exx, shear exy, and rotation ωz) may be calculated. The basic types of plastic flow localization are identified at different stages of strain hardening, and their parameters are determined.
