Material Information

The standard uniaxial tensile test is the widely accepted method to obtain relevant properties of mechanical characterization of sheet metal materials. However the range of strain obtained from tensile test is limited. The bulge test is an alternative to obtain ranges of deformation, higher than tensile test, thus permitting a better characterization for material behaviour. This paper presents a sensitivity analysis for some influencing variables used in bulge measurements, thus giving some guidelines for the evaluation of the stress-strain curve from experimental results using a developed experimental mechanical system. Additionally, using bulge test up to fracture shall give material information regarding damage, which in turn may be used to evaluate and calibrate damage models. A methodology is presented to be used for evaluation and calibration of Ito-Goya damage model of damage prediction.

This work mainly focuses on designing a novel aluminum alloy 6061-T6 pressure vessel liner intended for use in launch vehicles. Fabrication of custom-made welding fixtures for the assembly of liner parts, namely two hemispherical domes and end boss, is illustrated. The parts of the liner are joined using the cold metal transfer welding process, and the welding trials are performed to arrive at an optimized parametric range. The metallurgical characterization of weld joint reveals the existence of dendritic structures (equiaxed and columnar). Microhardness of base and weld metal was 70 and 65 HV, respectively. The tensile strength of base and weld metal was 290 and 197 MPa, respectively, yielding a joint efficiency of 68%. Finite-element analysis of a uniaxial tensile test was performed to predict the tensile strength and location of the fracture in base and weld metal. The experimental and predicted tensile test results were found to be in good agreement.
