Abstract Scope |
This study aims at getting a better understanding of plastic mechanisms in a new generation steel composite composed of a ferritic matrix and TiB2 ceramic reinforcements. Especially, the objective is to evaluate the very heterogeneous distribution of mechanical fields between the ductile matrix and the hard particles. Indeed, localization of deformation in the Fe-TiB2 composite could lead to premature damage initiation (debonding at matrix/particle interface or particle fracture).
To this end, a full-field crystal plasticity simulation approach, based on the Fast Fourier Transform method (FFT) and taking into account the evolution of Geometrically Necessary Dislocations (GND) densities distribution, has been developed. Synthetic as well as realistic microstructures – based on 2D and 3D advanced characterizations in a FEG-FIB SEM system equipped with an EBSD sytem – serve as input for simulations in order to assess the relation between internal length scales and local GND distribution, stress and plastic strain fields. |
