Towards the Problem of Construction an SPD Stress-Strain Curve for Low-Plastic Materials

Stress-strain curve construction for low-plastic alloys under severe plastic deformation conditions is considered. A material under investigation is cast bronze Cu85-Pb5-Sn5-Zn5. Experiments on upsetting and deep rolling were conducted. Based on these data, the initial hardening modular and the hardening modular at large strain were evaluated. Classic tests on determining an initial segment of stress-strain curve can lead to grate mistakes because shear band sliding can diminishes appreciably both yield stress and hardening modular. A correct methodology for stress-strain curve construction is proposed.
