Abstract:

Room temperature tensile and compressive true stress-true strain curves of various high strength steels quenched and tempered 4340 steel, 410 martensitic stainless steel and H-11 steel and aged 300-grade 18 Ni maraging steel were analyzed to determine the effect of the various microstructures on what has been termed the strength differential SD, i.e., the strength level difference between the tensile and compressive flow curves.
