Clad sheets are now widely used in a wide variety of industrial practices, however, determination of deformation characteristics are difficult. In this research, the unique deformation characteristics and properties of aluminum-clad stainless steel sheets produced by hot rolling process are discussed. The tensile test and characteristics of necking appearing on the clad sheet and the separate materials composing the clad sheet are examined. The results of the experiments for the stress-strain curves of the separate materials compared well with the estimated values. The stress-strain relationship of the separate materials can thus be determined from the tensile test of clad sheet.

In this paper, based on the determination of the stress-strain relationship of sintered W-40wt.%Cu by upsetting tests, the hot extrusion process of the materials covered with a steel cup has been simulated by DEFORM. The effect of the thickness of steel cup, extrusion temperature and extrusion ratio on the extrusion process has been studied, so that a group of optimal parameters could be obtained which is useful to the experiment of powder compact by extrusion with cups.

Within the framework of European project MULTIMETAL (Structural performance of multi-metal component), several fracture tests on different types of multi-material specimens have been performed. Present fracture toughness standard methods, e.g. ASTM E 1820 are not directly intended for Dissimilar Metal Weld (DMW). Therefore further investigations are needed in order to define the best practice in fracture mechanical tests and their analysis for DMWs. Specimens are taken from welded plates: a narrow gap Inconel DMW junction between ferritic and austenitic stainless steels, designed and delivered by AREVA France. The aim of this work is to provide guidelines for the determination of DMW fracture properties. For that purpose, fracture specimen needs to be modelled by FE. The first task, which is the purpose of that paper, is the determination of the mechanical properties in terms of stress-strain curve of all DMW constitutive materials: austenitic stainless steel, ferritic steel, heat affected zone of the ferritic steel zone and Nickel alloy zone properties. Conventional techniques for tensile test are not able to provide the tensile curve of the different materials constituting a weld joint. Image correlation techniques are well suitable but imply too long and difficult work for the images analysis. Therefore CEA has developed an intermediate solution based on laser sensors which provides a complete profile of the specimen during the tensile test. Using Bridgman equations, the stress and strain can be deduced from the measurement of the shape of the specimen (reduction of section but not only…). This innovative device has been used with new developments using local Bridgman equations in the post-processing of measurements. This allows to access to the material behaviour of several materials with only one specimen. Numerical interpretation using FE methods is presented and confirms the material behaviour determined from the experimental work using Bridgman equations assumptions. Finally, this combined experimental and numerical work has provided material data relative to all constitutive materials of the DMW junction. A hardened area in stainless steel material due to the welding process has been pointed out, and the heat affected zones of the ferritic material have been characterized in terms of stress-strain curves. The next stage of the project is to carry out tests on fracture specimens and to model these multi-materials specimens by FE. The gradient of elasto-plastic properties is now available for this next step.

A method for determining the stress–strain relationship of a material from hardness values H obtained from cone indentation tests with various apical angles is presented. The materials studied were assumed to exhibit power-law hardening. As a result, the properties of importance are the Young's modulus E, yield strength Y, and the work-hardening exponent n. Previous work [W.C. Oliver and G.M. Pharr, J. Mater. Res. 7, 1564 (1992)] showed that E can be determined from initial force–displacement data collected while unloading the indenter from the material. Consequently, the properties that need to be determined are Y and n. Dimensional analysis was used to generalize H/E so that it was a function of Y/E and n [Y-T. Cheng and C-M. Cheng, J. Appl. Phys. 84, 1284 (1999); Philos. Mag. Lett. 77, 39 (1998)]. A parametric study of Y/E and n was conducted using the finite element method to model material behavior. Regression analysis was used to correlate the H/E findings from the simulations to Y/E and n. With the a priori knowledge of E, this correlation was used to estimate Y and n.
