Two-level statistical constitutive model with integrated ETMB model: description of grain structure refinement of AISI 304 steel in cold bending

Abstract

An application of the earlier developed two-level statistical constitutive model with an integrated ETMB model to describe the grain structure refinement of AISI 304 steel during cold bending is considered. The analyzed technological process is modeled using the Abaqus finite element package. The advanced modeling is used to reasonably select one process mode that would provide a smaller average grain size.
