Abstract
In this study, the mechanical behavior under high strain rates and high temperatures of 1670 MPa, 1770 MPa, and 1860 MPa grades steel wires were investigated. Quasi-static tensile experiments (10−4 s−1), split Hopkinson compression bar experiments (102–103 s−1) and high-temperature tensile experiments were conducted (20–900 °C). A total of 89 samples were tested for the study. Stress-strain curves were obtained for different strain rates and different temperatures. The experiments indicated that the strain rate had an obvious influence on the behavior of high-strength steel wires, both the yield and ultimate strength increased with increasing strain rate. The strength ratio and strain rate sensitivity coefficients of high-strength steel wires were investigated for high strain rates. The mechanical properties of the steel wire are significantly reduced under high temperatures. The Cowper-Symonds (C-S) and Johnson-Cook (J-C) constitutive models were determined using experimental data. By contrasting the proposed models with the experiment data, the precision of the constitutive models was confirmed.
