| Abstract Scope |
Continuous-bending-under-tension (CBT) has been conceived as a mechanical test or a forming process imparting cyclic bending during stretching of a metallic sheet or strip in order to increase its elongation to fracture (ETF) relative to simple tension (ST). This paper evaluates the behavior in CBT of four dual-phase (DP) automotive advanced high strength steels, DP 590, DP 780, DP 980, and DP 1180. In doing so, the process parameter space defined in terms of crosshead velocity applying the tensile force, and roller depth imposing the amount of bending to the specimen has been explored to maximize the ETF of these materials. The optimal parameters improve ETF of the materials over five times. Microstructural characterization of the materials revealed high integrity of the sheets deformed to large plastic strains under CBT due to a favorable distribution of deformation as opposed to localized flow followed by necking and fracture in ST. |
