In an attempt to improve the constitutive models for 6xxx aluminium alloys at high temperatures and high strain rates, a comprehensive test series has been carried out for AA6060. Uniaxial tension tests were performed at various strain rates from 0.01 s-1to 1000 s-1and temperatures from 20 °C to 350 °C. The tests were carried out using a standard tensile machine for low to moderate strain rates and a split-Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) system for high strain rates. In both cases, an induction apparatus was used to heat the sample while local deformation measurements were obtained with a high-speed camera and used to estimate the true strain beyond necking. Strong coupling between the influence of strain rate and temperature on the stress-strain behaviour was found. At room temperature, the strain rate has a minor effect on the behaviour of AA6060. On the other hand, a significant increase of the yield stress and work-hardening with strain-rate is observed for temperatures above (K), being the melting temperature; i.e., above 673 K.

Hot deformation characteristics of forged and β-quenched Zr-1.0Sn-0.3Nb-0.3Fe-0.1Cr (N18 alloy) in the temperature range 625–950°C and in the strain rate range 0.005–5 s−1 have been studied by uniaxial compression testing of Gleeble 3500. For this study, the approach of processing maps has been adopted and their interpretation done using the Dynamic Materials Model (DMM). Based on a series of true stress-true strain curves on various temperatures and strain rates, the flow stress has been summarized and both the strain rate sensitivity index (m) and deformation activation energy (Q) have been calculated by the constitutive equations that flow stress and the relationship of Z parameter and flow stress have been established subsequently. Furthermore, the efficiency of power dissipation (⬜) given by [2m/(m+1)] and improved by Murty has been plotted as a function of temperature and strain rate to obtain different processing maps at different true strain rates ranging from 0.1–0.7. Subsequently, the microstructures of the specimens after compression testing were characterized by electron channeling contrast (ECC) imaging techniques used an FEI Nova 400 field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM). The results showed that: (i) The hyperbolic sine constitutive equation can describe the flow stress behavior of zirconium alloy, and the deformation activation energy and flow stress equation were calculated under the different temperature stages which insists that the deformation mechanism is not dynamic recovery. (ii) The hot processing maps and its validation were analyzed, which indicated that the DMM theory was reliable and could be adopted as useful tool for optimizing hot workability of Zr. The optimum parameters for extrusion and hammer forging were revealed on the processing maps of 830–950°C, 0.048–2.141 s−1 and 916–950°C, 2.465–5 s−1. (iii) The microstructure of the ingot exhibits a typical lamellar Widmanstatten structure. Under the different strain rates, the grains formed by dynamic recrystallization existed normally in the central zone of the compression samples while the no uniformity of grain size increased with the increasing of strain rate. Meanwhile, due to the dynamic recrystallization as a thermal activation process, the grains size and uniformity increased with the increasing of temperature. In brief, microstructure analysis showed that continuous dynamic recrystallization and geometric dynamic recrystallization operated concurrently during the isothermal compressive deformation.

The dynamic globularization behavior during hot working of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated by high temperature torsion tests. The torsion tests were carried out to investigate microstructure evolution occurring during dynamic globularization in Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The torsion tests were performed under a wide range of temperatures and strain rates with true strain up to 2. The flow curves revealed that the amount of flow softening for the fine alpha-lamellae structure was higher than that for the coarse alpha-lamellae structure under the temperature of 900oC. The effects of hot deformation parameters and initial microstructures on the dynamic globularization were analyzed.

Ring compression tests were conducted at constant true strain rates in the temperature range of 900–975°C. The constant friction shear factor, m, was determined using a calibration chart. Scaling was permitted during the experiments in which a glass based lubricant was also used. Frictional conditions were affected most by the rate of strain; increasing it led to lower values of m.

The influence of the strain rate on the plastic deformation of the metals was significant during the high strain rate of loading. However, it was very difficult to obtain high strain rate data (≥ 104 s-1) by experimental techniques. Therefore, the finite element method and iterative method were employed in this study. Numerical simulation was used to characterise the deformation behavior of Hadfield steel during explosion treatment. Base on experimental data, a modified Johnson-Cook equation for Hadfield steel under various strain rate was fitted. The development of two field variables was quantified during explosion hardening: equivalent stress and strain rates.

Shear tests were performed at strain rates ranging from quasi-static (0.01 s-1) to 500 s-1 for AA7075-T6 sheet metal alloy at room temperature. A miniature sized shear specimen was used in this work to perform high strain rate shear testing. Digital image correlation (DIC) techniques were employed to measure the strains in the experiments. At maximum in-plane shear strains greater than 20%, the AA7075-T6 alloy demonstrated a reduced work hardening rate at elevated strain rates. At lower strains, the AA7075-T6 alloy showed mild positive rate sensitivity. The strain to localization (using the Zener-Holloman criterion), measured using the DIC technique, decreased with strain rate in shear loading. The strain at complete failure, however, exhibited an increase at the highest strain rate (500 s-1). The current work also focused on characterization of the thermal conditions occurring during high rate loading in shear with in situ high speed thermal imaging. Experimental results from the highest strain rate (500 s-1) tests showed a notable increase in temperature within the specimen gauge region as a result of the conversion of plastic deformation energy into heat.

Pb-Free BGA solder joints are more brittle and more susceptible to interfacial fails than the leaded versions. These brittle failures typically occur if the modules are subjected to high strain rates through module handling impacts or PCB flexural stress. The high speed ball shear technique is a useful method to submit solder joints to high strain rates in a controlled manner to emulate the levels of strain the BGAs may see in handling. This measurement technique was used to evaluate different laminate design and process variables on organic laminate substrates to create a more robust Pb-Free solder joint. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects and interactions of laminate, module assembly process, SAC alloy composition, and thermal treatments. Modulations of shear speed and shear angle made it possible to observe transitions from ductile to brittle solder fractures. The high speed ball shear method was successful to differentiate subtle effects resulting from different design points and process variables. The copper composition in the PbFree solder alloy, thermal history, and geometric factors such as solder volume, solder resist opening and solder resist thickness all had measurable impacts on the shear strength and transition point of ductile to brittle failure. Some BGA configurations have also been tested in reliability, namely in thermal cycling, and were shown to meet application requirements. Optimal design points can therefore be applied to enhance handling robustness without compromising on reliability.
