Dynamic strain ageing (DSA) is observed in the tensile behaviour of 20MnMoNi55. The DSA phenomenon contributes extra hardening for a certain combination of straining rate and temperature. At temperature ranging from 200°C to 400°C and a straining rate of 10−4–10−2 s−1, alloy 20MnMoNi55 exhibits DSA. In the present work, DSA stresses are calibrated as a function of strain, strain-rate and temperature. Modification of the Johnson–Cook material model by incorporating DSA has been attempted. The modified flow stress model is used in finite element computation to simulate the material behaviour for a wide range of temperature and strain-rates including the DSA regime. The simulated results are in good agreement with the experimental results.
