Abstract

The mechanical properties of commercial dual phase (DP), transformation induced plasticity (TRIP), and high strength low alloy (HSLA-340) steel sheets are investigated and compared at various strain rates ranging from 0. 0017 to 0.17 s-1 at ambient temperature. TRIP steel outperforms the other two materials, having comparable ductility and twice as large strength relative to DP steel. TRIP has larger strength and much larger ductility than HSLA-340. The exceuent ductility of TRIP800 is due to its high strain hardening capability, which promotes stable plastic deformation. It is observed that the strain hardening rate in TRIP800 does not decrease to zero at failure, as common in most materials in which failure is preceded by necking.
