Instantaneous High Temperature Mechanical Property of 1Cr17Ni2Mn15N(AISI205) Chromium-Nickel-Manganese-Nitrogen Austenitic Stainless Steel
The mechanical properties of materials at high temperatures often significantly influence the performance and efficiency of engines, boiler and other mechanical components. Among them, chromium-nickel-manganese-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel (1Cr17Ni2Mn15N, referred to as AISI205) is a complex material with high strength, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Therefore, studies on the high temperature mechanical properties of 1Cr17Ni2Mn15N (AISI205) are of great significance for the design, production and safe application of materials and components.
In this experiment, the high temperature mechanical properties of 1Cr17Ni2Mn15N (AISI205) were investigated using a universal tensile tester. The thermal treatments of sample prior and after testing were 250°C/3h and 700°C/3h, respectively, and the test temperature range was from 10°C to 1250°C. The sample used for testing was the AISI205 steel with a diameter of 6 mm and a gauge length of 100 mm. The tensile test was performed with a loading rate of 50 N/s, and the strain rate was 1.75×10-2N/mm2. The true strain of the sample was detected by the strain gauge and then the true stress was calculated according to the load history.
The results show that the instantaneous strength of the 1Cr17Ni2Mn15N (AISI205) steel remains constant at low temperatures, start to decrease when temperature rises above 500°C, and then follows the rule of low temperature Arrhenius equation. The true stress-true strain curve shows that at temperatures lower than 500°C, the 1Cr17Ni2Mn15N (AISI205) steel exhibits quite a good linear elasticity, while at temperatures higher than 500°C the mechanical property is not just a function of temperature, and strain hardening also plays a important role.
In conclusion, under the given test conditions, the mechanical properties of 1Cr17Ni2Mn15N (AISI205) steel can be described roughly by the Arrhenius equation in the range of 10°C-500°C. Its instantaneous strength begins to decrease when temperature rises above 500°C, and the ductility is low at temperatures higher than 500°C due to increase in strain hardening.
