Abstract:
In order to quantitatively describe the effect of the initial grain orientation on the inhomogeneous deformation of 304 austenitic stainless steel foil during tension, a three-dimensional uniaxial tension model was established, based on the crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) and Voronoi polyhedron theory. A three-dimensional representative volume element (RVE) was used to simulate the slip deformation of 304 stainless steel foil with five typical grain orientations under the same engineering strain. The simulation results show that the number and characteristics of active slip systems and the deformation degree of the grain are different due to the different initial grain orientations. The slip systems preferentially initiate at grain boundaries and cause slip system activity at the interior and free surface of the grain. The Brass, S, and Copper oriented 304 stainless steel foil exhibits a high strain hardening index, which is beneficial to strengthening. However, the Cube and Goss oriented 304 stainless steel foil has a low deformation resistance and is prone to plastic deformation.
