Abstract

Tensile tests were carried out by deforming polycrystalline samples of an interstitial alloy, low carbon steel at room temperature in a wide range of strain rates where the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect was observed. The observed stress time series data were analyzed using the non-linear dynamical methods. From the analyses, we could establish the presence of marginal deterministic chaos in the PLC effect of the low carbon steel. Moreover, we made a comparative study of the PLC effect of this interstitial alloy with the substitutional Al–Mg alloy, which shows that the dynamics of the PLC effect in the interstitial alloy is more complex compared to that of the substitutional alloy.
