Abstract
The recent successful mass production of S32001 has led to numerous engineering applications; however, there are limited studies specific to this grade. This study investigates its mechanical performance compared to traditional duplex stainless steel S32205 and carbon steel Q355, with special focus on anisotropy, cold-forming hardening, and welding characteristics. Experimental results show that S32001 has a dual-phase microstructure with balanced austenite and ferrite, offering competitive strength and improved plasticity over S32205. It exhibits anisotropic yield strength, a pronounced cold-forming effect enhancing strength but reducing ductility, and comparable welding performance to S32205, with a distinct heat-affected zone. Modifications to existing constitutive models were made to improve the prediction of stress-strain behaviour in both flat and cold-formed regions. Lastly, a life cycle cost (LCC) study confirms S32001’s cost-effectiveness in less corrosive environments.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
