ABSTRACTHigh temperature compression tests have been performed on a Ti-44a/o Al-3a/o V-7.5v/o TiB2XD composite over the temperature range 1000 to 1300°C and the strain rate range 10-3 to 10s-1. The workability of this material for metalforming processes was determined using both dynamic material modeling and workability testing approaches to cover both internal and surface cracking. At higher temperatures and strain rates internal fracture occurred in the material, while at lower temperatures and higher strain rates surface cracks occurred. Use of lower temperatures and strain rates inhibited internal instabilities and surface cracking in the composite. A finite element model (FEM) was developed to describe the stress and strain states during the deformation process. Mechanical flow behavior obtained from the compression tests was used as input to the model. A fracture criterion developed from Kuhn's surface crack equation was coupled with the FEM model to predict bulk formability in a forging process.

AbstractIsothermal compression tests were conducted on a particulate reinforced Ti-44Al–3V+7.5v/o TiB2 composite produced by the XD® process over wide ranges of temperatures and strain rates, 1050 to 1300 C and 0.001 to 1.0 s-1, respectively. Flow localization parameter analysis was performed to analyze the flow behavior of the composite under various processing conditions, and the results were compared to those by dynamic material modeling. Microstructural characterization was also conducted to correlate the flow behavior with post-deformation microstructures. With combined information on flow behavior and microstructures, the processing condition for relatively stable flow and uniform microstructure was determined to be 1300 C and 0.01 to 0.1 s-1.

The hot deformation behavior of SiC/6168Al composite was studied by means of hot compression tests in the temperature range of 300-450 °C and strain rate range of 0.01-10 s-1. The constitutive model was developed to predict the stress-strain curves of this composite during hot deformation. This model was established by considering the effect of the strain on material constants calculated by using the Zenter-Hollomon parameter in the hyperbolic Arrhenius-type equation. It was found that the relationship of n, α, Q, lnA and ε could be expressed by a five-order polynomial. The stress-strain curves obtained by this model showed a good agreement with experimental results. The proposed model can accurately describe the hot flow behavior of SiC/6168Al composite, and can be used to numerically analyze the hot forming processes.

AbstractThe flow behavior of 3104 aluminum alloy was investigated at temperatures ranging from 250°C to 500°C, and strain rates from 0.01 to 10 s−1 by isothermal compression tests. The true stress–strain curves were obtained from the measured load–stroke data and then modified by friction and temperature correction. The effects of temperature and strain rate on hot deformation behavior were represented by Zener–Hollomon parameter including Arrhenius term. Additionally, the influence of strain was incorporated considering the effect of strain on material constants. The derived constitution equation was applied to the finite element analysis of hot compression. The results show that the simulated force is consistent with the measured one. Consequently, the developed constitution equation is valid and feasible for numerical simulation in hot deformation process of 3104 alloy.

The flow behavior of the SnSbCu alloy is studied experimentally by the compression tests in the range of the strain rates from 0.0001 to 0.1 s−1 and temperature from 293 to 413 K. Based on the experimental data, three constitutive models including the Johnson–Cook (J–C), modified Zerilli–Armstrong (Z–A), and Arrhenius-type (A-type) models are compared to find out an optimum model to describe the flow behavior of the SnSbCu alloy. The results show that the J–C model could predict the flow behavior of the SnSbCu alloy accurately only at some specific strain rates and temperature near the reference values. The modified Z–A and A-type constitutive models can give better fitting results than the J–C model. While, at high strains, the predictive values of the modified Z–A model have larger errors than those at low strains, which means this model has limitations at high strains. By comparison, the A-type model could predict the experimental results accurately at the whole strain range, which indicates that it is a more suitable choice to describe the flow behavior of the SnSbCu alloy in the focused range of strain rates and temperatures. The work is beneficial to solve the tribological problem of the bearing of the marine engine by integrating the accurate constitutive model into the corresponding numerical model.

The deformation behavior of a Udimet720Li superalloy under hot compression tests was characterized in the temperature range of 1060~1160°C and strain rate range of 0.001~20s-1. Processing maps were conducted at a series of strains to calculate the efficiency of hot working and to recognize the instability regions of the flow behavior. A Zener-Hollomon parameter is given to characterize the dependence of peak stress on temperature and strain rate. The efficiency of power dissipation of the Udimet720Li superalloy obtained in a strain range of 0.1~0.7 are essentially similar, which indicates that strain does not have a significant influence and the instability region shown in high strain and high strain rates at all temperatures. The regions for the full recrystallization can be divided by the dissolution beginning temperature of primary γ'which are the optimum hot working parameters.

Increasing the strain rate at superplastic forming is a challenging technical and economic task of aluminum forming manufacturing. New aluminum sheets exhibiting high strain rate superplasticity at strain rates above 0.01 s−1 are required. This study describes the microstructure and the superplasticity properties of a new high-strength Al-Zn-Mg-based alloy processed by a simple thermomechanical treatment including hot and cold rolling. The new alloy contains Ni to form Al3Ni coarse particles and minor additions of Zr (0.19 wt.%) and Sc (0.06 wt.%) to form nanoprecipitates of the L12-Al3 (Sc,Zr) phase. The design of chemical and phase compositions of the alloy provides superplasticity with an elongation of 600–800% in a strain rate range of 0.01 to 0.6/s and residual cavitation less than 2%. A mean elongation-to-failure of 400% is observed at an extremely high constant strain rate of 1 s−1. The strain-induced evolution of the grain and dislocation structures as well as the L12 precipitates at superplastic deformation is studied. The dynamic recrystallization at superplastic deformation is confirmed. The superplastic flow behavior of the proposed alloy is modeled via a mathematical Arrhenius-type constitutive model and an artificial neural network model. Both models exhibit good predictability at low and high strain rates of superplastic deformation.

Hot deformation behavior of Fe-3%Si steel within temperature range of 1073~1473K and strain rate range of 0.01~5s−1was investigated by isothermal compression test using thermo-simulation method. Over the applied deformation conditions, steady state flow behavior was well described by the power law relationship with dislocation climb as the rate-controlling mechanism, and the high apparent activation energy can be attributed to the high yield stress. A modified Bergström model was proposed by introducing yield stress, and consequently the whole stress-strain curves can be accurately predicted.

Isothermal compression tests were conducted to investigate the effect of hot deformation parameters on flow behavior and microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V-0.2O alloy. The experimental results show that the strain rate and height reduction have little effect on the volume fraction of primary α at a deformation temperature of 860 ̊C. At a deformation temperature of 940 ̊C, the volume fraction of primary α at a high strain rate (10s-1) is about 10% less than that at low strain rates (0.01s-1~1s-1). It may be one of the reasons for the significantly discontinuous yielding phenomenon. Another reason is that the dislocation density decreased suddenly due to the dynamic recovery. With the increasing strain rate and the decreasing deformation temperature, the volume fraction of irregular secondary α increases and lamellar secondary α decreases. And with height reduction increasing, the irregular secondary α increases firstly and then tends to be steady because of dynamic recovery and recrystallization.

AbstractConstitutive analysis for hot working of BFe10-1-2 alloy was carried out by using experimental stress–strain data from isothermal hot compression tests, in a wide range of temperature of 1,023~1,273 K, and strain rate range of 0.001~10 s–1. A constitutive equation based on modified double multiple nonlinear regression was proposed considering the independent effects of strain, strain rate, temperature and their interrelation. The predicted flow stress data calculated from the developed equation was compared with the experimental data. Correlation coefficient (R), average absolute relative error (AARE) and relative errors were introduced to verify the validity of the developed constitutive equation. Subsequently, a comparative study was made on the capability of strain-compensated Arrhenius-type constitutive model. The results showed that the developed constitutive equation based on modified double multiple nonlinear regression could predict flow stress of BFe10-1-2 alloy with good correlation and generalization.

The flow behavior and associated structural changes of an AZ61 Mg alloy were analyzed by using hot compression tests in the temperature and strain rate ranges of 250–400 °C and 0.001 to 1 s–1, respectively. The stress–strain curves exhibited the trend typical of materials in which deformation is recovery-controlled in the high Z regime (Z is the Zener–Hollomon parameter), while at low strain rates and high T, the flow curves exhibited a softening typical of recrystallization phenomena. Microstructure analysis has been performed to correlate the microstructure changes to the flow behaviors.
