Flow Stress Behavior of 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel during Warm Tensile

Abstract

The flow behavior of 2205 duplex stainless steel for ship sheet in the strain rate ranging from 0.001 s-1 to 0.1s-1 and temperature ranging from 473K to 1073 K is studied on AG-10TA universal material testing machine. The results show that the 2205 duplex stainless steel is a strain rate sensitive material, and the flow stress increases with the increase of strain rate and decreases with the increase of temperature. The average elongation of the 2205 duplex stainless steel is above 25% with the temperature ranging from 473K-873K, and the elongation is above 47% at 1073K; At last, the flow stress constitutive equation is established based on the Browman model, which describes the flow stress behavior of 2205 duplex stainless steel in the temperature ranging from 473K-873K. The curves predicted by the constitutive equation agreement with the experiment data well.
