摘要：Instrumented indentation testing (IIT) is extensively and successfullyused as an alternative technique for investigations of the mechanical properties of steels, where traditional specimens, such as round bar specimens for tensile tests, are not acquirable. The IIT is based on an assumption that the true stress-strain curve of the analyzed sample follows one of the known constitutive equations, such as the Hollomon, Ludwik, Swift, or other predefined equations. However, steel samples exposed to extreme conditions, such as media with high-temperature or neutron irradiation may exhibit a novel stress-strain relation that follows an unknown constitutive equation. In this situation, the accuracy of the IIT may be doubtful. This article proposes a constitutive model independent technique, called macro-pillar compression testing (MPCT), where constitutive equations are not necessary. The MPCT was conducted on a specimen with pillars and established on the theory of the compression testing. In this study, a modified imaginary radius function was proposed for the pillar to consider its sinking and barreling effect during the compression. Finally, three different types of steel (austenitic stainless, low-alloy and lowcarbon steel) were used to verify the accuracy of the MPCT. Both MPCT and round bar tensile tests were performed on each type. The test results show that the true strain-stress curves obtained by MPCT have a good agreement with the corresponding curves by tensile tests.
