Abstract

<jats:p>For the duplex stainless steel X2CrNiMoN22-5-3, phase-specific strain pole figures (strain PFs) for the phases ferrite (bcc) and austenite (fcc) were analysed under uniaxial tensile loading for various loading states in purely elastic and elasto-plastic regimes. Experimentally, strain PFs were determined by means of in situ neutron diffraction strain measurements under defined uniaxial loading. These experimental results were compared with strain PFs calculated using elasto-plastic self-consistent (EPSC) modelling. The comparison was performed for two different {hkl} planes per phase. While classic load stress and load partitioning analyses for multi-phase materials are often limited to the load direction and a selected direction transverse to it, the results illustrate the added value of determining a strain PF, especially when a phase-specific texture is present. The comparison with experimental data shows how well the load partitioning behaviour can be predicted using common EPSC models, using the example of a duplex stainless steel. The EPSC model used was validated with the software ISODEC in its elastic range. Based on the results of the EPSC model, and taking into account the local phase-specific crystallographic texture, a prediction can be made as to what extent intergranular stresses and phase-specific textures could affect the results of a (residual) stress analysis by means of the diffraction method. This makes it possible to assess whether, for technical applications, meaningful residual stress results can be expected in certain component directions.</jats:p>
