Abstract:Flow stress usually does not decrease with the increase of the deformation temperature of steel deformed at high temperature in two-phase region, and the minimum value of the flow stress will be found in the two-phase region. In order to find out the effect of chemical compositions on the flow stress behavior in the two-phase region, the deformation behavior of studied steels near two-phase region is researched by thermal simulation test. Meanwhile, the microstructures after deformation and the change of flow stress near the two-phases region are analyzed. The ferrite phase transformation start temperatures and the decrease of flow stress in two-phases region are obtained. The influence of main alloying elements such as C, Si and Mn on the ferrite transformation start temperature Ar3 and the decrease of flow stress are obtained by regression fitting.
