Abstract
A series of mechanical tests in different specimen orientations was performed to study the anisotropic behavior of an IF steel (DC06). State-of-the-art polycrystalline models Alamel [1], VPSC [2], as well as the classical FC Taylor model were employed to predict flow stress curves. A two-stage Voce law was used to describe the single crystal shear stress-accumulated shear strain relationship. In this approach, the textural hardening and the dislocation hardening are effectively modeled separately. Results demonstrate that both the Alamel and VPSC models could reproduce the flow stress curves adequately. Also, the quantitative agreement of texture prediction is used to validate the model predictions. It is concluded that the better performance of grain interaction models compared to the FC Taylor model is mainly due to an improved prediction of the slip inside the constituting grains, and not in particular due to an improved prediction of texture evolution.
