Damage Characteristic

The effects of temperature and strain rate of hot-forged recycled aluminium alloys AA6061 are examined via uniaxial tensile test implementations in this paper. The tests are conducted at elevated temperatures of 100 °C, 200 °C and 300 °C, at two different strain rates of 10−4 s−1 and 10−3 s−1. The tensile behaviour and damage characteristic are analysed in terms of stress-strain curves and microstructural analysis, respectively. The microstructure and fracture surface of such materials are observed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Optical Microscope (OM). The flow stress of recycled AA6061 increases with increasing strain rate and decreases with increasing temperature. ImageJ software is used to quantify void characteristics. It is observed that the quantity and size of the micro-voids are strain-rate sensitive. This is due to the growth and coalescence of the micro-voids. The OM analysis shows the gap between the grain boundaries becomes wider with the increasing temperature that affects the strength of the material. The outcome of this work gives valuable information before the appropriate applications, especially in automotive and aerospace fields, can be established. It can be agreed that there is still a need for improved recycling methods to fulfil the needs in the required applications, as shown by its primary resources. It is a massive challenge and an obvious drawback in such materials due to the degradation of material’s properties related to damage.

Tensile Behaviour

Aluminium alloys are more and more important for the automotive industry due to their high strength to weight ratio and their elevated ductility; they are used for many different parts in automobiles as exterior panels, structural parts, brake housings and others. However, their formability at room temperature is limited. This inconvenient can be improved by increasing the forming temperature of the part. That lack of formability has lead to this research project dealing with the tensile behaviour of aluminium alloys sheets, at different conditions of temperature and strain rate. The analyzed material has been 6082 aluminium alloy, under two different heat treatment conditions (O and T6). Material testing has been carried out in a temperature range between room temperature and 250°C, and a strain rate range between 0.001s-1 and 0.1s-1. Testing samples have been obtained from laminated sheet of 1.5mm thickness. This article shows that the alloy under T6 condition has a reduced formability, even in warm conditions. In order to get higher deformation values an annealed condition is proposed to form the material. The effect of T6 heat treatment and O annealing treatment in the uniaxial warm formability is discussed and a microstructural analysis is also presented in order to understand the differences on the alloy behaviour.

Yield Criteria

Abstract The study of anisotropic deformation behavior of material plays a key role in optimizing the hot working process parameters. Further, trustworthiness of Finite Element (FE) analysis in hot working condition is highly dependent on accurate input of mechanical properties and anisotropic yield parameters. In present work, two different anisotropic yield criteria, namely; Hill 1948 and Barlat 1989 are developed from Room Temperature (RT) to 500 °C and different slow strain rate conditions (0.01, 0.001 and 0.0001 s−1) for Inconel 718 alloy. First, uniaxial tensile test carried out from RT to 500 °C with an interval of 100°C and at quasi-static strain rate conditions at different orientation of a sheet (0°, 45° and 90°). Based on the tensile test data, extended Von-Mises isotropic criterion i.e. Hill 1948 and Barlat 1989 yield criterion were developed at different conditions. The predictability of yield criteria has been verified using yield loci, variation of anisotropic coefficient and yield stresses. The various static parameters such as correlation coefficient, relative error and standard deviation are considered to compare the yield criteria. Based on the comparison, Barlat 1989 yield criterion shows good in agreement with experimental data.

The Relationship

The paper is devoted to highlighting the potential application of the quantitative imaging technique through results associated with work hardening, strain rate and heat generated during elastic and plastic deformation. The aim of the research presented in this article is to determine the relationship between deformation in the uniaxial tensile test of samples made of 1-mm-thick nickel-based superalloys and their change in temperature during deformation. The relationship between yield stress and the Taylor–Quinney coefficient and their change with the strain rate were determined. The research material was 1-mm-thick sheets of three grades of Inconel alloys: 625 HX and 718. The Aramis (GOM GmbH, a company of the ZEISS Group) measurement system and high-sensitivity infrared thermal imaging camera were used for the tests. The uniaxial tensile tests were carried out at three different strain rates. A clear tendency to increase the sample temperature with an increase in the strain rate was observed. This conclusion applies to all materials and directions of sample cutting investigated with respect to the sheet-rolling direction. An almost linear correlation was found between the percent strain and the value of the maximum surface temperature of the specimens. The method used is helpful in assessing the extent of homogeneity of the strain and the material effort during its deformation based on the measurement of the surface temperature.

Model Predictions

Electronics in automotive underhood and downhole drilling applications may be subjected to sustained operation at high temperature in addition to high strain-rate loads. SAC solders used for second level interconnects have been shown to experience degradation in high strain-rate mechanical properties under sustained exposure to high temperatures. Industry search for solutions for resisting the high-temperature degradation of SAC solders has focused on the addition of dopants to the alloy. In this study, a doped SAC solder called SAC-Q solder have been studied. The high strain rate mechanical properties of SAC-Q solder have been studied under elevated temperatures up to 200°C. Samples with thermal aging at 50°C for up to 6-months have been used for measurements in uniaxial tensile tests. Measurements for SAC-Q have been compared to SAC105 and SAC305 for identical test conditions and sample geometry. Data from the SAC-Q measurements has been fit to the Anand Viscoplasticity model. In order to assess the predictive power of the model, the computed Anand parameters have been used to simulate the uniaxial tensile test and the model predictions compared with experimental data. Model predictions show good correlation with experimental measurements. The presented approach extends the Anand Model to include thermal aging effects.

The Impact

The present work deals with the microwave-assisted compression moulding of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)-based composites. In the present work, 20 wt% of reinforcement in the form of kenaf and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was used to fabricate HDPE/kenaf and HDPE/MWCNT polymer composites. The mechanical characterizations of the microwave-processed composites were carried out in terms of uniaxial tensile test with different strain rate, multistep stress relaxation, flexural and impact test. The uniaxial tensile test revealed that the tensile modulus of microwave-processed four-layered HDPE/kenaf polymer composite was 35.2% higher than that of HDPE/MWCNT polymer composite. The HDPE/MWCNT polymer composite showed a minimum of 1.25 GPa and a maximum of 4.7 GPa of elastic modulus when tested at different strain rate. The impact energy absorbed by the HDPE/kenaf polymer composite (1.055 J) was 81.12% higher than the HDPE/MWCNT polymer composite (0.582 J).

Uniaxial tensile deformation behavior of 5A90 aluminium-lithium alloy sheet is investigated in the hot forming with the temperature range of 200-450°C and strain rate range of 0.3×10-3-0.2×10-1s-1. It is found that the flow stress of 5A90 Al-Li alloy in uniaxial tension increase with increasing strain rate and decrease with increasing temperature, however, the tendency of total elongation is just the reverse, and the optimum forming temperature is 400°C. The strain rate sensitivity index (m-value) remarkably increases with increasing temperature for a given strain rate. It is shown that 5A90 Al-Li alloy sheet displays the sensitivity to the strain rate at elevated temperatures. For a given strain rate, the strain hardening index (n-value) decreases with increasing temperature, whereas the n-value increases above 350°C. The constitutive equation of stress, strain and strain rate for 5A90 Al-Li alloy at any temperature is obtained by fitting the experimental data, which gave a good flow stress model for the FEM simulation of hot forming.

The Difference

This article demonstrates the difference in the flow curves of an AZ31 magnesium alloy and S235JR structural steel wire caused by non-linear strain rates during uniaxial tensile and compression testing at elevated temperatures. Throughout tensile deformation, the traverse velocity of the testing machine has to be adapted according to the current elongation of the specimen, thus accelerating, to ensure a constant strain rate during the admission of the stress-strain curve. The equivalent is necessary during compression testing, where the traverse velocity of the testing machine needs to decelerate ensuring a constant strain rate. Nevertheless, tensile and compression tests are performed with constant traverse velocity, which lead to divergent flow curves in comparison to deformation controlled traverse velocities. The results of the research show the difference in flow behaviour of magnesium and steel wire, when the temperature and strain rate are varied in conjunction with constant and deformation controlled traverse velocities.

Abstract The aim of this study was to obtain tensile elastic modulus (EM) information for radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) sapwood in tangential grain direction, over a temperature range of 70°C to 150°C for a wide range of moisture contents. Such information is scarce, probably because of difficulties with research equipment design and process control strategies to perform accurate tests. As expected, EM dramatically decreased with increasing temperature and moisture content. The results were modelled to yield a relationship between stress and strain. The results were also successfully transposed into a mastercurve based on temperature-moisture equivalence through a modified form of the Williams, Landel, and Ferry equation for amorphous polymers. This result is consistent with the view that wood is visco-plastic around the glass transition zone of the ligno-hemicellulosic matrix. It is demonstrated that moisture and temperature can play a significant role in reducing stress during drying, regardless of the drying time. Properties of wood, such as tensile elastic information at elevated temperatures, are important for mechanical design, distortion modelling and understanding the fundamental behaviour of wood in general.

AbstractA variety of Fe3Al alloys including Fe-25Al, Fe-28Al, Fe-28Al-4Cr and Fe-28Al-2Ti (all in atomic percent) have been investigated by tensile test to find if these alloys could have superplasticity at elevated temperatures, the results revealed that all these alloys exhibited large elongations when the temperature is higher than 600°C. At 850°C , under appropriate initial strain rate, the elongation is all above 300%. For Fe-28Al-2Ti, the maximum elongation reached 585%. Maximum m values are all above 0.3. Initial grain sizes are bigger than 100μm but became finer after deformation. Fracture happened with necking but no cavities were found under optical microscope. Characteristics of this phenomenon were summarized and discussed.

Twin Roll

AZ31 alloy sheets were produced by twin-roll casting (TRC) and sequential hot rolling. Uniaxial tensile tests were used to evaluate the deformation properties of the AZ31 alloy at a strain rate of 7×10-4s-1 and a temperature range from room temperature to 400°C. The microstructure evolution and fracture behaviour were observed by optical microscopy and scanning electronic microscope. The results show that the elongation of the AZ31 alloy increases with increasing temperature at a strain rate of 7×10-4s-1. The AZ31 alloy begins to exhibit superplasticity at 300°C. The elongation of 497.8% is achieved at 400°C. The deformation of the AZ31 alloy at low temperature is controlled by dislocation motion, and with increasing temperature (above 300°C), grain boundary sliding (GBS) begins to play a dominant role during superplastic deformation.
