| Abstract |
Continuous indentation test with ball indenter has been studied for years because of its convenience and simpleness. Especially, the test is expected to supersede tensile test. Among tensile properties work-hardening exponents of various steels were evaluated by the test. We newly defined true stress and true strain with contact depth and indentation load. Finite element analysis shows that the contact depth is affected by elastic deflection and pile-up/sink-in. Therefore, the contact depth was calculated with taken both elastic deflection and pile-up/sink-in into account. The work-hardening exponents derived in this study show good agreement to those from tensile test. |
