Prediction of Mechanical Behaviors of the Q & P980 Steel Under Different Temperatures and Strain Rates Using Crystal Plasticity Method

The martensitic transformation in quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steels is greatly influenced by loading conditions such as environmental temperature and loading speed, and thus impacts the macroscopic mechanical properties during the deformation process. Within this work, an elastic-visco-plastic self-consistent (EVPSC) framework coupling with phase transformation model is used to simulate the stress strain responses as well as the …
