Abstract
The anisotropic hardening behaviors of dual phase (DP780) and extra deep drawing quality (EDDQ) steel sheets under non-proportional strain paths were investigated. Two-step uniaxial tension tests, which consisted of the first loading in the rolling (RD) or transverse (TD) and the second loading in every 15° from the first loading axis, were conducted. For DP780 steel, a significant Bauschinger effect accompanied by a transient hardening behavior after reverse loading was the prominent phenomenon. In contrast, EDDQ exhibited stress overshooting followed by strain hardening stagnation with respect to the monotonic flow curve near cross-loading conditions. The extended HAH model combined with the Yld2000-2d yield function were used to reproduced the anisotropic hardening behavior of the two materials. For DP780, the extended HAH model could capture the Bauschinger effect and transient hardening behavior well for tension reloading at 0°, 15°, 75° and 90° from the RD or TD prestraining direction. However, the predictions at 30°, 45° and 60° were slightly different from the experiments. For EDDQ, this approach reproduced the strain hardening anisotropy well including flow stress overshooting followed by a stage of strain hardening stagnation.
