Abstract

The paper presents a study on the influence of formation of Lüders band on the cyclic creep or ratcheting behaviour in low carbon steel bound for pipeline applications. The Lüders band formation has been characterized by carrying out stress-controlled monotonic tensile tests in terms of the stress required for it to propagate and the amount of strain accumulated during its propagation. Low-cycle fatigue at different strain ranges and cyclic stress-controlled tests at different stress ratios and stress rate combinations have been carried out. It has been observed that the hysteresis behaviour in conditions favouring Lüders band formation leads to a significant enhancement in ratcheting and cyclic softening in the low-cycle fatigue tests. The evolution of the hysteresis loop behaviour has been characterized by the Bauschinger energy parameter. The accelerated strain softening has been attributed faster proliferation of dislocation sources and to greater dislocation annihilation rates as a consequence of Lüders band propagation.

Keywords: Cyclic deformation; Ratcheting; Lüders band; Low-carbon steel; Bauschinger energy parameter
