This presentation is a review of mechanical test methods for accurately measuring the anisotropic plastic deformation behavior of metal sheets and tubes subjected to multiaxial stress states. Special attention is given to the measurement and modeling of the anisotropic plastic deformation behavior of lightweight metals commonly used in industry and to the validation of the material models based on anisotropic yield functions for large plastic strain ranges. The effects of the material models used in the metal forming simulations on the improvement of the predictive accuracy for forming defects are also discussed.

Metals made by additive manufacturing (AM) have intensely augmented over the past decade for customizing complex structured products in the aerospace industry, automotive, and biomedical engineering. However, for AM fabricated steels, the correlation between the microstructure and mechanical properties is yet a challenging task with limited reports. To realize optimization and material design during the AM process, it is imperative to understand the influence of the microstructural features on the mechanical properties of AM fabricated steels. In the present study, three material blocks with 120×25×15 mm3 dimensions are produced from PH1 steel powder using powder bed fusion (PBF) technology to investigate the anisotropic plastic deformation behavior arising from the manufacturing process. Despite being identical in geometrical shape, the manufactured blocks are designed distinguishingly with various coordinate transformations, i.e. alternating the orientation of the block in the building direction (z) and the substrate plate (x, y). Uniaxial tensile tests are performed along the length direction of each specimen to characterize the anisotropic plastic deformation behavior. The distinctly anisotropic plasticity behavior in terms of strength and ductility are observed in the AM PH1 steel, which is explained by their varied microstructure affected by the thermal history of blocks. It could also be revealed that the thermal history in the AM blocks is influenced by the block geometry even though the same process parameters are employed.

Plastic Deformation Behavior

An understanding of the plastic deformation behavior of Ti6Al4V (Ti64) is of great interest because it is used in aerospace applications due to its high specific strength. In addition, Ti alloys have limited slip systems due to hexagonal crystal structure; hence twinning plays an important role in plastic deformation. The present work focuses upon the grain size effect on plastic deformation behaviour of Ti64. Various microstructures with different grain size were developed via annealing of Ti64 alloy in α-β phase regime (825°C and 850°C) for 4 hours followed by air cooling. The deformation behavior of these samples was investigated at various deformation temperature and strain rate conditions. Detailed microstructure studies showed that (i) smaller grains undergoes twinning only at low temperature and high strain rate, (ii) large grain samples undergo twinning at all temperatures & strain rates, though the extent of twinning varied.

The plastic deformation behavior of dual-phase (DP) steel is strongly affected by its underlying three-dimensional (3D) microstructural factors such as spatial distribution and morphology of ferrite and martensite phases. In this paper, we present a coupled simulation method by the multi-phase-field (MPF) model and the crystal plasticity fast Fourier transformation (CPFFT) model to investigate the 3D microstructure-dependent plastic deformation behavior of DP steel. The MPF model is employed to generate a 3D digital image of DP microstructure, which is utilized to create a 3D representative volume element (RVE). Furthermore, the CPFFT simulation of tensile deformation of DP steel is performed using the 3D RVE. Through the simulations, we demonstrate the stress and strain partitioning behaviors in DP steel depending on the 3D morphology of DP microstructure can be investigated consistently.

Plastic Deformation Behavior

The shear plastic deformation behavior of a material during equal channel angular (ECA) extrusion is governed primarily by the die geometry, the material properties, and the processing conditions. Using commercial DEFORMTM 2D rigid-plastic finite element code, this study investigates the plastic deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy during 1- and 2-turn ECA extrusion processing in dies containing right-angle turns. The simulations investigate the distributions of the billet mesh, effective stress and effective strain under various processing conditions. The respective influences of the channel curvatures in the inner and outer regions of the channel corner are systematically examined. The numerical results provide valuable insights into the shear plastic deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy during ECA extrusion.
