Modeling Bainite Dual-Phase Steels: A High-Resolution Crystal Plasticity Simulation Study

A bainite dual-phase (FB) steel containing polygonal ferrite and granular bainite is thermo-mechanically rolled, followed by an accelerated cooling. Two different cooling rates are applied to obtain two different materials. The aim of the study is to explore the reasons for the differences in the me...

description A bainite dual-phase (FB) steel containing polygonal ferrite and granular bainite is thermo-mechanically rolled, followed by an accelerated cooling. Two different cooling rates are applied to obtain two different materials. The aim of the study is to explore the reasons for the differences in the mechanical response experimentally observed for these two materials which are modeled by means of high-resolution crystal plasticity simulations with a phenomenological constitutive description. First, the CP parameters of the individual constituents are determined. Second, different three-dimensional (3D) representative volume elements (RVEs)—one of which includes the substructure of bainite—are used to study the mechanical properties of both FB microstructures. It is shown that, in contrast to the macroscopic response, the microscopic response differs among the RVEs. Third, a comparison of both materials is performed by analyzing their stress–strain response. The onset of plasticity in granular bainite is found to be different for both materials in addition to the strain partitioning, although they both obeyed the iso-work assumption. Finally, a parameter study is carried out in order to investigate the correlation between different microstructures and damage initiation that can be seen experimentally in this steel. It is shown that the difference in ultimate elongation may depend on whether the first voids appear within polygonal ferrite or at the phase boundary.
