To solve the problem of the accuracy of the numerical simulations of cold rolling, the thermomechanical responses of 40Cr under uniaxial compression loading are presented. The strain rates include quasistatic (0.004 s−1) at temperature of 293 K and dynamic loading regime (632 s−1~5160 s−1) at temperature regime (293 K~673 K). Significant strain rate and temperature sensitivity are measured. Based on these observations, the Johnson-Cook phenomenological constitutive model is proposed to predict the mechanical behavior of the 40Cr over wide ranges of strain rate and temperature. The solution process of the equation parameters is given. Correlations with this Johnson-Cook model are shown very close to the observed responses. Important material parameters are provided to the application of numerical analysis in project.

The hot deformation behavior of the aerospace Ti-10-2-3 alloy was investigated by isothermal compression tests at temperatures of 740 to 820 °C and strain rates of 0.0005 to 10 s−1. The results show that the studied alloy is extremely sensitive to deformation parameters, like the temperature and strain rate. The temperature mainly affects the magnitude of flow stress at larger strains, while the strain rate not only affects the value of flow stress but also the shape of the flow curves. At low strain rates, the flow stress increases with strain, followed by a broad peak and then remains almost constant. At high strain rates, the flow curves exhibit a hardening to a sharp peak at small strains, followed by a rapid dropping to a plateau caused by dynamic softening. In order to describe such flow behavior, a constitutive model considering the effect of deformation parameters was developed as an extension of an existing constitutive model. The modified constitutive model (MC) was obtained based on the original constitutive model (OC) by introducing a new parameter to compensate for the error between the experimental data and predicted values. Compared to the original model, the developed model provides a better description of the flow behavior of Ti-10-2-3 alloy at elevated temperatures over the specified deformation domain.

Work materials experience a broad range of strains, strain rates, and temperatures in many manufacturing processes such as machining, forming, etc. Strain rate has an important effect on the yield and flow stress of work materials, especially metals, since at higher strain rates there is less time for thermally-activated events; consequently, it is equivalent to a lowering of the temperature of the materials. On the other hand, it is also true that, for high strain rate deformations such as metal cutting, adiabatic plastic flow may produce significant temperature changes in the materials. Flow stress is significantly affected by the strain rate history; hence, mechanical behavior may not be fully described in terms of a mechanical equation of state relating the instantaneous stress, strain, strain rate, and temperature. Based on the concept of dislocation mechanics, a micromechanical approach has been explored to determine flow stress at high strain rates by combining athermal stress (the long-range barriers to dislocation motion) and thermal stress (the short-range temperature and strain rate-dependent barriers to dislocation motion). The SHPB (split Hopkinson pressure bar) compression test data of Aluminum 6061-T6 and titanium Ti6Al-4V in literature over a temperature range of 77K–1000K was used for this purpose. Based on the baseline test data, the constitutive model describing the flow stress was developed. The constitutive model was further modified and extended to predict flow stress above the critical temperature. The corresponding model predictions were compared with the experimental data, attaining good agreement.

The hot compressive deformation behaviors of ZHMn34-2-2-1 manganese brass are investigated on Thermecmastor-Z thermal simulator over wide processing domain of temperatures (923K-1073K) and strain rates (0.01s-1-10s-1). The true stress-strain curves exhibit a single peak stress, after which the stress monotonously decreases until a steady state stress occurs, indicating a typical dynamic recrystallization. A revised constitutive model coupling flow stress with strain, strain rate and deformation temperature is established with the material constants expressed by polynomial fitting of strain. Moreover, better prediction ability of the constitutive model is achieved by implementation of a simple approach for modified the Zener-Hollomon parameter considering the compensation of strain rate and temperature increment. By comparing the predicted and experimented values, the correlation coefficient and mean absolute relative error are 0.997 and 2.363%, respectively. The quantitative statistical results indicate that the proposed constitutive model can precisely characterize the hot deformation behavior of ZHMn34-2-2-1 manganese brass.

Abstract Cast iron alloys with low production cost and quite good mechanical properties are widely used in the automotive industry. To study the mechanical behavior of a typical ductile cast iron (GJS-450) with nodular graphite, uni-axial quasi-static and dynamic tensile tests at strain rates of 10− 4, 1, 10, 100, and 250 s− 1 were carried out. In order to investigate the effects of stress state, specimens with various geometries were used in the experiments. Stress–strain curves and fracture strains of the GJS-450 alloy in the strain-rate range of 10− 4 to 250 s− 1 were obtained. A strain rate-dependent plastic flow law based on the Voce model is proposed to describe the mechanical behavior in the corresponding strain-rate range. The deformation behavior at various strain rates is observed and analyzed through simulations with the proposed strain rate-dependent constitutive model. The available damage model from Bai and Wierzbicki is extended to take the strain rate into account and calibrated based on the analysis of local fracture strains. The validity of the proposed constitutive model including the damage model was verified by the corresponding experimental results. The results show that the strain rate has obviously nonlinear effects on the yield stress and fracture strain of GJS-450 alloys. The predictions with the proposed constitutive model and damage models at various strain rates agree well with the experimental results, which illustrates that the rate-dependent flow rule and damage models can be used to describe the mechanical behavior of cast iron alloys at elevated strain rates.

A series of tensile tests at constant strain rate were conducted on tin-lead based solders with different Sn content under wide ranges of temperatures and strain rates. It was shown that the stress-strain relationships had strong temperature- and strain rate- dependence. The parameters of Anand model for four solders were determined. The four solders were 60Sn-40Pb, 40Sn-60Pb, 10Sn-90Pb and 5Sn-95Pb. Anand constitutive model was employed to simulate the stress-strain behaviors of the solders for the temperature range from 313K to 398K and the strain rate range from 0.001%sP -1 P to 2%sP -1 P. The results showed that Anand model can adequately predict the rate- and temperature- related constitutive behaviors at all test temperatures and strain rates.

The aim of the present investigation was to determine and to compare the superplastic behaviour of the AA5083 (Al-Mg-Mn) alloy with Sc and Zr additions. The investigated alloys were processed to form sheets by conventional hot and cold rolling. The superplastic properties were determined with strain rates in the range of 1x10-4to 5x10-2s-1and forming temperatures of 350 to 550°C. The results showed that the alloy with about 0.4% Sc exhibited a high superplastic ductility across a wide temperature range and strain rates up to 1x10-2s-1. The highest elongations to failure of about 2000% were attained at 550°C and at an initial strain rate of 5x10-3s-1. However, the alloy with about 0.15% Zr exhibited elongations up to 600%. The FSP processed Al-4.5Mg alloy with combined addition of about 0.2% Sc and 0.15% Zr exhibited good superplastic properties at higher strain rates (> 1x10-2s-1) with elongations up to 1500%.

An Al-3Mg (wt. %) alloy was studied after equal channel angular pressing and subsequent cold rolling. The mechanical behavior of the alloy in the temperature range from 223 K to 373 K (from –50°C to 125°C) at strain rates 2.1×10–1 – 5.2×10–5 s–1 was investigated. The analysis of stress-strain curves was performed to determine the conditions of manifestation of the Portevin – Le Chatelier (PLC) effect in investigated alloy. The deformation curve at a temperature of 298 K (25°C) and a strain rate of 1×10–3 s–1 is characterized by instability of plastic flow in contrast to the deformation curves obtained under other studied strain rate/temperature conditions. Stress oscillations at the necking stage were observed at high temperatures (>323 K (50°C)) and lower strain rates (1×10–4 s–1 and 5.2×10–5 s–1) forming the left border of the PLC effect domain. In general, deformation curves are characterized by the absence of stress serrations during the uniform elongation.

To explore the thermo-mechanical response of H96 brass alloy, the quasi-static (universal-testing machine) and dynamic (the split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus) uniaxial compression experiments have been performed under the temperatures from 293 K to 873 K and the strain rates from 0.001 s-1 to 6000 s-1, and the strains over 60% are obtained. Results show that, H96 brass alloy has strong strain hardening behavior, and it becomes weaker with the increasing temperature. In addition, this alloy is sensitive to strain rates; and, it has temperature sensitivity, the dynamic strain aging occurs at the temperature of 473 K and a quasi-static strain rate of 0.001 s-1. Based on the thermal activation dislocation mechanism, paralleled with the experimental results, a plastic flow constitutive model with the physical conception is developed. The model is suitable to predict the plastic flow stress at different temperatures and strain rates. According to comparing results, the model predictions are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract This study investigates the dynamic response of AA2519 aluminum alloy in T6 temper condition during plastic deformation at high strain rates. The aim was to determine how the T6 temper condition affects the flow stress response, strength properties and microstructural morphologies of the alloy when impacted under compression at high strain rates. The specimens (with aspect ratio, L/D = 0.8) of the as-cast alloy used were received in the T8 temper condition and further heat-treated to the T6 temper condition based on the standard ASTM temper designation procedures. Split-Hopkinson pressure bar experiment was used to generate true stress-strain data for the alloy in the range of 1000–3500 /s strain rates while high-speed cameras were used to monitor the test compliance with strain-rate constancy measures. The microstructures of the as received and deformed specimens were assessed and compared for possible disparities in their initial microstructures and post-deformation changes, respectively, using optical microscopy. Results showed no clear evidence of strain-rate dependency in the dynamic yield strength behavior of T6-temper designated alloy while exhibiting a negative trend in its flow stress response. On the contrary, AA2519-T8 showed marginal but positive response in both yield strength and flow behavior for the range of strain rates tested. Post-deformation photomicrographs show clear disparities in the alloys’ initial microstructures in terms of the second-phase particle size differences, population density and, distribution; and in the morphological changes which occurred in the microstructures of the different materials during large plastic deformation. AA2519-T6 showed a higher susceptibility to adiabatic shear localization than AA2519-T8, with deformed and bifurcating transformed band occurring at 3000 /s followed by failure at 3500 /s.
