Die Castings

A mixture of Al burrs of Al high-pressure die-castings and a blowing agent powder was used to fabricate Al foam-filled steel tubes by friction stir back extrusion (FSBE). It was shown that the mixture can be sufficiently consolidated to form an Al precursor that is coated on the inner surface of a steel tube by the plastic flow generated during FSBE. Namely, a precursor coated steel tube can be fabricated from Al burrs by FSBE. By heat treatment of the precursor coated steel tube, an Al foam-filled steel tube can be fabricated. Al foam was sufficiently filled in the steel tube, and the porosity was almost homogeneously distributed in the entire sample. In compression tests of the samples, the Al foam-filled steel tube fabricated from Al burrs exhibited similar compression properties to an Al foam-filled steel tube fabricated from the bulk Al precursor. Consequently, it was shown that an Al foam-filled steel tube cost-effectively fabricated from Al burrs by FSBE compares favorably with an Al foam-filled steel tube fabricated from the bulk Al precursor.

Torsional test of aluminum foam-filled galvanized steel tube before and after high temperature is performed. The influence of temperature, porosity of aluminum foam and steel ratio on torsional behavior of aluminum foam galvanized steel tubes were analyzed. Experimental results showed that torsional curves of aluminum foam-filled galvanized steel tube before and after high temperature is similar, and can be divided into four stages: the elastic torsional stage, yield platform stage, descent stage and hardening stage; Its torsional load capacity decreases with increasing porosity of aluminum foam and increases at a higher steel content and slenderness ratio; after high temperature, torsional load capacity of galvanized steel tube decreased significantly. It was found that the strength reduction factor ratio under the elevated test temperature is higher than that recommended by British ECCS, Australian AS4100 and Chinese CECS 200-2006.

Tube Structure

Modeling and numerical simulation of aluminum foam filled square tubes under axial impact loading is presented. The foam-filled thin-walled square tubes are modeled as shell wherein, foam core is modeled by incorporating visco-elastic plastic foam model in Altair® RADIOSS. Deformation and energy absorption studies with single, bi-tubular, and multi-tube structure with and without aluminum foam core are carried out for assessing its effectiveness in crashworthiness under the identical conditions. It is observed that the multi-tube structure with foam core modify the deformation modes considerably and results in substantial increase in energy absorption capacity in comparison with the single and multi-tube without foam core. Moreover, the multi-tube foam filled structure shows complicated deformation modes due to the significant effect of stress wave propagation. This study will help automotive industry to design superior crashworthy components with multi-tube foam filled structures and will reduce the experimental trials by conducting the numerical simulations.
