Crystal Plasticity Simulation of Yield Loci Evolution of SUS304 Foil
Summary
Researchers used crystal plasticity simulation to study how grain orientation and size affect the deformation of stainless steel foils used in microforming processes. This is a materials engineering study with no direct connection to microplastic contamination.
The deformation process of metal foils is usually under a complex stress status, and the size effect has an obvious influence on the microforming process. To study the effect of grain orientation and grain size distribution on the yield loci evolution of SUS304 stainless steel foils, three representative volume element (RVE) models were built based on the open source tools NEPER and MTEX. In addition, the yield loci with different grain sizes are obtained by simulation with Duisseldorf Advanced Material Simulation Kit (DAMASK) under different proportional loading conditions. The initial yield loci show a remarkable difference in shape and size, mainly caused by the distinct texture characteristics. By comparing the crystal plasticity simulation with the experimental results, the model with normal grain size distribution and initial texture based on Electron Back-scattered Diffraction (EBSD) data can more accurately describe the influence of the size effect on the shape and size of yield loci, which is the result of the interaction of grain size distribution and texture. However, the enhancement of grain deformation coordination will weaken the impact of the size effect on yield loci shape if the grain size distribution is more uniform.

The study found that SS304 exhibits significant anisotropic properties due to rolling direction, with consistent trends between experimental and modelled forming limit curves revealing critical strain values and microstructural changes during miniaturized component fabrication.
