Due to the low formability and forming quality of titanium alloy, the forming process of a compound energy field (CEF) with temperature and ultrasonic vibration was proposed. Tensile tests were carried out to investigate the effect of the CEF on the true stress–strain curve, yield strength, elastic modulus, and other mechanical properties of the TC2 titanium alloy. Bending tests assisted by CEF were also performed to investigate the effect of different parameters of the CEF on bending force, spring-back, bending fillet radius, and microstructure of TC2 titanium. The results demonstrate that compared to the process under a single-temperature field, the CEF can reduce yield strength, elastic modulus, bending force, bending fillet, and the spring-back angle, which shows that the CEF can further increase the high-temperature softening effect of TC2 titanium. Furthermore, this effect becomes more remarkable when ultrasonic vibration energy increases. As a result, the formability of titanium alloy can be improved.

Open porous dendrite-reinforced TiMo alloy was synthesized by liquid metal dealloying of the precursor Ti47.5Mo2.5Cu50 (at.%) alloy in liquid magnesium (Mg). The porous TiMo alloy consists of α-titanium and β-titanium phases and possesses a complex microstructure. The microstructure consists of micrometer scale β-titanium dendrites surrounded by submicrometer scale α-titanium ligaments. Due to the dendrite-reinforced microstructure, the porous TiMo alloy possesses relatively high yield strength value of up to 180 MPa combined with high deformability probed under compression loading. At the same time, the elastic modulus of the porous TiMo alloy (below 10 GPa) is in the range of that found for human bone. This mechanical behavior along with the open porous structure is attractive for biomedical applications and suggests opportunities for using the porous TiMo alloy in implant applications.

This article presents an experimental investigation aimed to obtain the optimum formability of light-weight alloys under the multi-stage forming process. Titanium alloy sheets (Ti-6Al-4V) and aluminium alloy sheets (AA5052) of thickness 1 mm with different widths (i.e. 20, 90, and 110 mm) are selected as forming specimens. In order to carry out the multi-stage forming process, a special fixture with a heating system for the pre-straining process is designed and manufactured. The limit dome heights of both titanium alloys and aluminium alloys are measured and recorded. The experimental results reveal that both of the light-weight alloys yielded enhanced ductility at higher working temperatures, because of a decrease in the yield strength. The formability of selected materials is found to be sensitive to the forming temperatures and multi-stage forming processes.

AbstractThe radial infeed rotary swaging is widely used as a diameter reduction forming process of axisymmetric workpieces, improving the mechanical properties with excellent near net shape forming. In the present study, rotary swaging experiments with different parameter setups were performed on steel tubes and bars under different material states and several resulting property modifications were investigated such as stress-strain curve, hardness, fatigue strength and surface residual stresses. The results show a significant work hardening induced by the rotary swaging process and an improvement in the static and dynamic mechanical properties was observed. Furthermore, the hardness distribution was homogenous in the cross section of the rotary swaged workpieces. Moreover, depending on the process conditions, different residual stresses distribution were generated along the surface.

In order to study a new thread rolling forming process from a microscopic perspective, a polycrystalline model was established, based on the crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) and Voronoi polyhedron theory. The fluidity of metals was studied to explain the reason for the concave center. The simulation results show that the strain curve of the representative element can more truly reflect the deformation behavior of the material. The grain orientations after deformation are distributed near the initial orientation. The evolution of each slip system is determined by the initial grain orientations and grain locations. The pole figures obtained from the experiment show high consistency with the pole figures obtained by simulation, which verifies the accuracy of the texture prediction by CPFEM. The experimental results show that thread rolling is more uniform in deformation than ordinary rolling.

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) have been prepared and optimized as already described in part I of this paper. The fibrous preform made of Hi-Nicalon S fibers was densified by a matrix composed of Si2N2O prepared inside the CMC by reacting a mixture of Si and SiO2 under high nitrogen pressure. This part describes the oxidation resistance and mechanical properties of the optimized CMC. The CMC submitted to oxidation in wet oxygen at 1400 °C for 170 h exhibited an oxidation gradient from the surface to almost the center of the sample. In the outer part of the sample, Si2N2O, Si3N4 and SiC were oxidized into silica in the cristobalite-crystallized form. The matrix microstructure looks similar to the original one at the center of the sample, while at the surface large pores are observed and the fiber/matrix interphase is consumed by oxidation. The elastic modulus and the hardness measured at room temperature by nano-indentation are, respectively, 100 and 8 GPa. The elastic modulus measured at room temperature by tensile tests ranges from 150 to 160 GPa and the ultimate yield strength from 320 to 390 MPa, which corresponds to a yield strain of about 0.6%. The yield strength identified by acoustic emission is about 40 MPa.
