Computational simulation has become more important in the design of thermomechanical processing since it allows the optimization of associated parameters such as temperature, stresses, strains and phase transformations. This work presents the results of the three-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation of the hot rolling process of a medium Mn steel using DEFORM-3D software. Temperature and effective strain distribution in the surface and center of the sheet were analyzed for different rolling passes; also the change in damage factor was evaluated. According to the hot rolling simulation results, experimental hot rolling parameters were established in order to obtain the desired microstructure avoiding the presence of ferrite precipitation during the process. The microstructural characterization of the hot rolled steel was carried out using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was found that the phases present in the steel after hot rolling are austenite and α′-martensite. Additionally, to understand the mechanical behavior, tensile tests were performed and concluded that this new steel can be catalogued in the third automotive generation.

This work summarizes the outcome of recent research by the authors on modeling the formation of seam welds in aluminum extrusion and on evaluating the related mechanical properties on the final products. A profile with a seam weld in the middle section was produced with different die designs in order to investigate the relation between die design and local welding parameters, such as contact pressure, temperature, time of contact, strain and strain rate paths. The local welding conditions were evaluated by complete thermo-mechanical 3D FEM simulation of the processes. Specimens were extracted from the profiles and tensile tested, the resulting mechanical properties being discussed with respect to the local welding conditions. The possibility to adopt criteria for assessing the welding quality is discussed, together with the effect of high speed damage cracking.

Secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) is a macrosegregation parameter directly linked to content of macrosegregation through cooling rates. The aim of this paper is to highlight the effect of cooling rate on the SDAS and macrosegregation patterns in a high strength steel. For this purpose, directionnal solidification in a cylinder was modeled with a plane-front solidification. Two cylinders were modeled with different boundary conditions (Tsurface = 1000°C and 1200°C). Using the FEM software Thercast, 3D macrosegregation maps were generated with thermomechanic algorithm taking into account metal shrinkage. Using Won’s equation, the influence of cooling rates in the mushy zone on SDAS was determined. The results indicated that a 72% lower difference in the area of negative macrosegregation zone (macrosegregation ratio (rseg) < -0.016%) for lower cooling rate (Ts = 1200°C). The difference of the area for positive segregation was 85% lower for higher cooling rates.
