A Nb-V steel’s response to constant true strain rate compression was compared to its behavior when the strain rate varied as during a rolling pass. The constitutive behavior during the two types of tests was found not to differ in a significant manner.

Abstract Aluminum piston alloys of the AA4032 type are produced by direct-chill (DC) casting and subsequent forging; therefore, it is important to understand their thermomechanical behavior. In recent years, it was shown that additions of Cu and Er could improve mechanical properties of these alloys at room and high temperatures. In this work, we studied the constitutive behavior of AA4032-type alloys with and without Cu and Er additions. The experimental true stress–true strain curves were obtained by compression tests under various temperatures [683 K to 723 K (410 °C to 450 °C)] and strain rates (0.01 to 10 s−1) to determine constitutive parameters [strain-rate sensitivity, activation energy, and Zener–Hollomon (Z) parameter] for the hot deformation behavior of AA4032-type piston alloys with and without additions of Cu and Er. The flow stress decreased with increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate. The results also showed that increasing the Cu content increased the flow stress over the applied range of deformation conditions due to solid-solution strengthening and the formation of primary Si particles, which led to an increase in the activation energy during hot deformation. Moreover, the main microstructural damage in the AA4032 alloy with 3.5 pct Cu was predominantly due to the cracking of primary Si particles. Additions of 0.4 pct Er and 3.5 pct Cu lower the activation energy of deformation, Q, as compared to the base alloy and the alloy with 3.5 pct Cu. The microstructures in the deformed specimens consisted of subgrains, recrystallized grains, and fine eutectic phases. The alloys containing Er demonstrated more polygonized grains at a low strain rate than the alloys without Er, indicating that Er hindered recrystallization development. The peak stress of the AA4032 alloy with 3.5 pct Cu alloy was higher than for the base AA4032 alloy and for the AA4032 alloy with 3.5 pct Cu and 0.4 pct Er additions, which was attributed to the prevalence of the work-hardening mechanism over the softening mechanism.

ABSTRACTThe hot-workability of a two-phase (γ+α2) alloy, Ti-48A1-2Cr-2Nb, has been studied by conducting isothermal compression tests to 0.8 true strain over the temperature range of 975–1200°C at strain rates between 1×l0−1 and 3×10−3s−1. A deformation map showing temperature, strain rate, soundness of deformation, and isostress contours was constructed. Good workability is found from the low temperature/low strain rate regime to combinations of high temperature and either high or low strain rate. The upper-limit flow stress for good workability is between 450 and 500 MPa. Deformation induced softening occurs at all conditions. SEM and TEM examinations of the deformed specimens reveal that non-uniform deformation takes place at all strain rates, but cracking occurs mostly at high strain rates (e.g. 1×10−1s−1), especially combined with low temperatures. The cracking appears to progress primarily along γ/α2interfaces. It is thought that non-uniform deformation develops channels of shear bands, which in turn promote localized recrystallization, thus accommodating higher strains.

Abstract Tension tests of the true stress-strain type are reported for which the true strain rate is maintained constant throughout each test. Several metals are investigated under testing temperatures ranging from −183 C to 665 C. The influence of temperature and strain velocity on the true stress-strain properties is described. A single variable called the velocity-modified temperature is used to represent the combined influences of true strain rate and testing temperature.
