Abstract The main objective of this experimental study is to determine the effect of low temperatures on the mechanical behaviour of Strenx 960 Plus high-strength structural steel at different strain rates and stress triaxialities. For this purpose, a comprehensive experimental campaign was designed to characterise the material at a wide range of temperatures and loading rates. The stress triaxiality was varied by testing specimens with different geometry. First, to determine the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature, instrumented Charpy V-notch impact tests were carried out at a range of temperatures from + 20 °C down to − 90 °C. The impact energy dropped gradually with decreasing temperature, but a clear transition temperature could not be identified. A fractography study exhibited a clear dimple structure, revealing predominantly ductile fracture at all temperatures. Then, uniaxial tension tests on smooth and pre-notched axisymmetric specimens under both quasi-static and dynamic loading rates were carried out at room temperature and low temperatures. These tests were conducted to characterise the rate-dependence of the stress–strain behaviour and the failure strain. The results revealed that under quasi-static conditions the flow stress increased with decreasing temperature, while the failure strain was nearly independent of the temperature. Dynamic tensile tests using the same specimen geometries were conducted in a split Hopkinson tension bar at + 20 °C and − 40 °C. The material exhibited a positive strain rate sensitivity at all investigated temperatures. This experimental study reveals that the Strenx 960 Plus steel retains its ductility at temperatures as low as − 40 °C. Brittle failure could not be observed even with combined high strain rate, high stress triaxiality and low temperature.

This study deals with failure strain prediction according to stress triaxiality of a typical polar class steel EH36. Choung et al. [1, 2] have formulated failure strain curve of EH36 steel by carrying out a number of tensile tests for round and flat specimens with various notches. Extra tests for notched flat specimens which machined in transverse direction are conducted to formulate the failure strain curve. In order to verify the validity of failure strain curve, we develop user-subroutine (VUSDFLD) of a commercial finite element code, Abaqus/Explicit. Fracture simulation with user-subroutine shows that two results are closely coincident by comparison of force-elongation curves.
