By using of hot tensile tests, which were performed on simulator HDS-20, the formability of Invar 36 alloy was investigated. By a special type of a tensile test, involving a continuous control heating of the tested specimens and their simultaneous load by a constant tensile force of 80 N, a nil-strength temperature of investigated alloy 1419 °C was determined. By continuous uniaxial tensile tests to rupture the strength and plastic properties of the Invar 36 alloy were determined in the wide range of deformation temperatures (from 800 °C to 1390 °C) and mean strain rates (from 0.09 s-1 to 75 s-1). On the basis of obtained results the 3D maps were constructed, expressing the dependence of the contractual hot ultimate tensile strength, hot ductility and hot reduction of area of the Invar 36 alloy on the deformation temperature and on the mean strain rate. Based on the determined plastic properties, the nil-ductility temperature of the investigated alloy of 1390 °C was also determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
