Abstract
The low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of twinning induced plasticity (TWIP1000) steels was analyzed in its as-received (AR: 0 % pre-strained) and pre-strained conditions of 30 % and 60 %. The microstructural evolution during pre-straining and cyclic loading was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Results indicated that pre-straining refined the microstructure via deformation twinning and enhanced the strength of the material through dislocation multiplication and the dynamic Hall-Petch effect. Pre-straining improved LCF property at strain amplitudes ≤ 0.6 %, but reduced fatigue life adversely at a higher strain amplitude of 0.8 %. The hindrance of dislocation movement, dynamic Hall-Petch effect and the suppression of cross slip caused by pre-straining effectively suppress cyclic softening. Pre-straining improves LCF performance by delaying crack initiation and impeding crack propagation. It is revealed that deformation twins delay crack initiation by mitigating plastic damage accumulation. Pre-straining decreased the fatigue striation spacing from 0.334 μm to 0.197 μm, indicating that pre-straining effectively reduces the fatigue crack propagation rate. It is attributed to the obstruction and deflection effects of deformation twins.
