OPTIMIZATION ON THE MATERIAL PROPERTIES PREDICTION OF STEELS USING INSTRUMENTED INDENTATION I N. BUDIARSA & I N. GDE ANTARA Research Scholar, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Udayana University, Badung, Indonesia ABSTRACT This research work aims to investigate the relationships between constitutive material parameters of elasto-plastic materials, indentation of P-h curves and hardnesses; has been systematically researched through numerical and experimental studies, using sharp and spherical indenters of indenting modeling on hardness measurements by combining representative stress analysis and Finite Element modeling. Systematic experimental work has been carried out on steel samples of various carbon contents and heat treatment including indentation, with various loads have been used to characterise the indentation size effect of the materials, and to establish the load that gives hardness values consistently. Finite Element model of Vickers hardness tests have been developed and a method of estimating the hardness values from the P-h curves based on representative stress and energy method was established and validated with experimental data. The hardness values predicted are compared with the experimental data. Based on the hardness HRB) with representative stress was developed, which was used to evaluate the feasibility of using hardness values, thus improve the robustness of the inverse program in predicting constitutive material parameters, with a focus on uniqueness by mapping through all potential materials ranges KEYWORDS: Vickers Hardness, Work Hardening Coefficients, Yielding Stress, H/E & P-h Curve

1. INTRODUCTION Indenting has been used to determine the measure of material resistance to deformation in hardness testing, and are known for being fast, easy, and non-destructive (Navrátil et al., 2009; Pharr et al., 2010). Hardness on material is based on resistance of solid to local deformation values (Tabor, 2002; Efim Mazhnik et al., 2019). Hardness values can be determined through indentation curves, and are correctly obtained from the estimated P-h curve (Budiarsa et al., 2015; 2018). The advantage of predicting the hardness values from indentation P-h curves lies in the fact that it can avoid the uncertainty of material deformation around the indenter and the true contact areas, which are difficult to quantify based on the impression (Huang et al., 2000, Huang et al., 2004; Han et al., 2005). There is a recovery process associated with the unloading progress directly influencing the change of contact area, and there is no simple/commonly acceptable way for the determination of the contact area (Gubicza et al., 1996). One potential approach is, to develop a practical methodology using an energy based analysis approach. Previous works on different materials groups showed that the hardness values can be estimated using the ratio of plastic work to total work ratio (Choi et al., 2004; Kang et al., 2010). The concept is to be adapted and further developed in this work to estimate the hardness values from indentation P-h curves using representative stress analysis values, following its relationship with hardness to modulus ratio (H/E) (Choi et al., 2004; Kang et al., 2010).
