Study of anisotropic deformation behavior of a material plays a crucial role in optimizing hot working process parameters and trustworthy Finite Element (FE) analysis in sheet metal forming processes. In this work, Khan–Huang–Liang (KHL) phenomenological based constitutive model and anisotropic yield criteria has been formulated for Inconel 718 alloy. Firstly, uniaxial tensile tests have been conducted at different temperatures (room temperature -700°C) and slow strain rates (0.0001-0.1s -1 ) conditions. KHL constitutive model has been formulated and validated with experimental flow stress data. The prediction capability of the model is evaluated based on correlation coefficient (R), average absolute error, AAE (Δ) and its standard deviation (s). Subsequently, anisotropic yielding behavior of Inconel 718 alloy is predicted based on KHL yield criterion. Anisotropic coefficient (Lankford parameters) and tension compression asymmetry parameters have been calculated experimentally. The prediction capability of KHL yield criterion is analyzed based on yield locus, yield stress variation and anisotropic coefficient variation. The quality index of performance, namely global accuracy index (β) is evaluated. Further, Finite Element (FE) analysis has been carried out for deep drawing of Inconel 718 alloy using commercially available ABAQUS software. The developed KHL constitutive model and anisotropic yield criterion has been incorporated in FE simulation using UMAT/VUMAT code. The FE results are validated with experimental deep drawn cups at different process conditions.
