Experimental Effort

For the full characterization of the hot working behaviour of a given material a large number of laboratory experiments have to be performed. The experiments themselves are time consuming and the required specimen material can be quite expensive. With the increasing versatility of the testing machines, like dilatometry with easily variable temperatures, overthinking the classical approaches for materials characterization becomes expedient.In this paper a new technique for the reduction of the experimental effort is presented at the example of a 25MoCrS4 case hardening steel. To analyse the potential for the reduction of the experimental effort the classical approach of a full experimental test matrix is chosen. Here 55 flow curves with temperatures between 700 and 1200°C and strain rates from 0.01 to 100/s are experimentally determined. Then a semi-empirical model for strain hardening and dynamic recrystallization is fitted using an automated routine for parameter determination, taking all available flow curves into account. Subsequently, the number of flow curves used to fit the model parameters is gradually reduced. The model accuracy obtained with the reduced experimental data is compared to the initial fit. The natural decrease in accuracy with the use of less data compared to the gain due to the reduction of experimental effort is analysed. In addition optimal distribution of the sampling points in the experimental matrix for a reduced number of experiments is discussed. It is shown that less than a quarter of the full matrix is sufficient to reach accuracies comparable to using the full matrix. Using the vertices and symmetrical distribution of the data within the full experimental matrix allows a drastic reduction of experimental effort while maintaining the initial accuracy. The results suggest that it might be possible to reduce the costs and effort for material characterization by 50-80%.

Tailored Forming

AbstractThe current study presents a novel Tailored Forming process chain developed for the production of hybrid bearing bushings. In a first step, semi-finished products in the form of locally reinforced hollow profiles were produced using a new co-extrusion process. For this purpose, a modular tool concept was developed in which a steel tube made of a case-hardening steel, either C15 (AISI 1015) or 20MnCr5 (AISI 5120), is fed laterally into the tool. Inside the welding chamber, the steel tube is joined with the extruded aluminum alloy EN AW-6082. In the second step, sections from the compound profiles were formed into hybrid bearing bushings by die forging. In order to set the required forming temperatures for each material—aluminum and steel—simultaneously, a tailored heating strategy was developed, which enabled successful die forging of the hybrid workpiece to the desired bearing bushing geometry. Using either of the case-hardening steels in combination with aluminum, this novel process chain made it possible to produce intact hybrid bearing bushings, which showed both macroscopically and microscopically intimate material contact inside the compound zone.

Case Hardening Steel

The carbon content of steel affects many of its essential properties, e.g., hardness and mechanical strength. In the powder bed fusion process of metals using a laser beam (PBF-LB/M), usually, pre-alloyed metal powder is solidified layer-by-layer using a laser beam to create parts. A reduction of the carbon content in steels is observed during this process. This study examines adding carbon particles to the metal powder and in situ alloying in the PBF-LB/M process as a countermeasure. Suitable carbon particles are selected and their effect on the particle size distribution and homogeneity of the mixtures is analysed. The workability in PBF-LB is then shown. This is followed by an evaluation of the resulting mechanical properties (hardness and mechanical strength) and microstructure in the as-built state and the state after heat treatment. Furthermore, potential use cases like multi-material or functionally graded parts are discussed.
