AbstractDuctile fracture of metal often occurs in the plastic forming process of parts. The establishment of ductile fracture criterion can effectively guide the selection of process parameters and avoid ductile fracture of parts during machining. The 3D ductile fracture envelope of AA6063-T6 was developed to predict and prevent its fracture. Smooth round bar tension tests were performed to characterize the flow stress, and a series of experiments were conducted to characterize the ductile fracture firstly, such as notched round bar tension tests, compression tests and torsion tests. These tests cover a wide range of stress triaxiality (ST) and Lode parameter (LP) to calibrate the ductile fracture criterion. Plasticity modeling was performed, and the predicted results were compared with corresponding experimental data to verify the plasticity model after these experiments. Then the relationship between ductile fracture strain and ST with LP was constructed using the modified Mohr–Coulomb (MMC) model and Bai-Wierzbicki (BW) model to develop the 3D ductile fracture envelope. Finally, two ductile damage models were proposed based on the 3D fracture envelope of AA6063. Through the comparison of the two models, it was found that BW model had better fitting effect, and the sum of squares of residual error of BW model was 0.9901. The two models had relatively large errors in predicting the fracture strain of SRB tensile test and torsion test, but both of the predicting error of both two models were within the acceptable range of 15%. In the process of finite element simulation, the evolution process of ductile fracture can be well simulated by the two models. However, BW model can predict the location of fracture more accurately than MMC model.

Abstract The 3D ductile fracture envelopes of AA6063-T6 was developed to predict and prevent its fracture. Smooth round bar (SRB) tension tests were carried out to characterize the flow stress, and a series of experiments were conducted to characterize the ductile fracture firstly, such as notched round bar (NR) tension tests, compression tests and torsion tests. These tests cover a wide range of stress triaxiality (ST) and Lode parameter (LP) to calibrate the ductile fracture criterion. Plasticity modeling was performed, and the predicted results were compared with corresponding experimental data to verify the plasticity model after these experiments. Then the relationship between ductile fracture strain and ST with LP was constructed using the modified Mohr–Coulomb (MMC) model and Bai and Wierzbicki (BW) model to develop the 3D ductile fracture envelope. Finally, a new ductile damage model was proposed based on the 3D fracture envelope of AA6063. The final results show that the predicted results from the proposed ductile fracture model showed good agreement with experimental results.

The casting-rolling compound forming process of ring parts is an advanced plastic forming technology that has been developed due to the merits of high efficiency and energy and material saving. However, cracks often occur during the hot ring rolling process, especially at the edges of the ring parts, which severely affects the forming quality. To predict and try to avoid the occurrence of cracks in the casting-rolling compound forming process of ring parts, the high-temperature fracture behaviors of as-cast 42CrMo steel were investigated by thermodynamic experiment method. The high-temperature tensile tests were carried out using the Gleeble-3500D thermomechanical simulator at various temperatures and strain rates. Stress-strain curves and fracture morphology were examined, through which the sensitivity of stress to temperature and strain rate and the effect of dynamic recrystallization and cavity evolution on fracture were found. The law of critical fracture strains was analyzed, and the model of critical fracture strain as a function of temperature and strain rate was established. Based on Oyane criterion, the thermal ductile fracture criterion was established in conjunction with the model of critical fracture strain. By embedding this thermal damage model into the finite element (FE) model for hot ring rolling of an as-cast 42CrMo ring, the damage prediction for this process was realized, and the thermal ductile fracture criterion was proved to be reliable. From the FE results for hot ring rolling, mechanism of damage and fracture in the hot ring rolling process was analyzed. The damage threshold C f is small, and the damage ratio D is large at the top and bottom edges of the inner surface area of the ring, which have the greatest propensity to cracking in the course of hot ring rolling. This is of great significance in terms of improving the forming quality of ring parts in the casting-rolling compound forming process.

The key point in this paper is the prediction of the onset of ductile fracture with a newly proposed ductile fracture criterion in various stress state ranging from shear to uniaxial tension. A series of tension tests with different material orientations are carried out up to fracture. The anisotropic Drucker yield function with an isotropic hardening law is identified to describe the elastic–plastic behaviors of Al6016-T4 aluminum alloy. The uncoupled ductile fracture criterion is calibrated and then utilized to construct the fracture locus of Al6016-T4, which is implemented into the ABAQUS/Explicit to validate the prediction of ductile fracture criterion by comparing experimental results to numerical ones. The validation demonstrates that the ductile fracture criterion can accurately predict the onset of ductile fracture for Al6016-T4 in medium stress triaxiality ranging from 0.1 to 0.44 where most ductile fracture occurs in sheet metal forming.

A new ductile fracture criterion is proposed based on three stages of ductile fracture: void nucleation, growth and coalescence from the microscopic viewpoint. Based on the observation of SEM fracture surfaces of AA2024-T351 aluminum alloy sheet and bar samples under different stress states, it is assumed that the void aggregation is controlled by shear or shear-tension fracture mechanism according to the stress state. And the stress triaxiality is deemed as the only influence factor for controlling the void growth. The new ductile fracture criterion applied to a wide range of stress triaxiality is built. By fitting the available testing data of AA2024-T351 aluminum alloy and AISI 1045 steel, the fracture loci in the stress triaxiality, Lode parameter and equivalent fracture strain space ([Formula: see text]) built by the new criterion are compared with those by DF2014, Hu criterion, modified Mohr-Coulomb criterion (MMC) and Hosford- Coulomb (H-C) criterion. The fitting results prove better prediction accuracy for the new criterion. To further compare the stability of these criteria, the fracture loci in the space of ([Formula: see text]) for AA2024-T351 alloy are established by only fitting five tests. The new criterion can still well predict the equivalent fracture strain ([Formula: see text]). Compared with DF2014, Hu criterion, MMC and H-C criterion, the average errors of the new criterion are reduced by 26.72%, 20.07%, 31.78% and 34.62%, respectively. Furthermore, the maximum errors are reduced by 49.62%, 27.31%, 33.76% and 29.91%, separately. Therefore, the new fracture criterion has higher prediction accuracy and better prediction stability. Last but certainly not least, the new criterion can predict more accurately under high stress triaxiality conditions.

In order to evaluate the prediction error resulting from using average state variables in the calibration procedure of the ductile fracture criterion, a series of experiments and corresponding simulations were performed to extract the evolution of fracture-related state variables such as stress triaxiality (η), Lode parameter, and equivalent strain to fracture at the fracture initiation points. The average stress triaxiality, average Lode parameter, and equivalent strain to fracture were used to calibrate the Lou-Huh (L-H) ductile fracture criterion. The average induced prediction error was evaluated by comparing the accumulated damage value, which was computed with the calibrated L-H ductile fracture criterion at the fracture initiation point, with the critical threshold value. Comparisons based on a series of experiments covering a wide range of values for stress triaxiality indicated the existence of an average induced prediction error for the compression tests, and demonstrated that different values of embedded-constants C1 and C2 of L-H ductile fracture criterion resulted in entirely different average induced prediction errors. Thus, a parameter study was performed to investigate the influences of C1, C2, the relationship of η and equivalent plastic strain ([Formula: see text]), and the internal function of the integral formula on the average induced relative error. The influence of the relationship of [Formula: see text] could be represented by the influence of the exponent a, the intercept for the stress triaxiality, and the allocation of equivalent strain for the segmented function. Among these influence factors, the value of C2, the value of the exponent a, and the value of the negative intercept for stress triaxiality contributed significantly to an increase in relative error.

A modified ductile fracture criterion is proposed based on the traditional Ayada criterion and coded into the finite element simulation platform of VUMAT/ABAQUS for prediction and analysis of ductile fracture in metal plastic strain processes. In this modified ductile fracture criterion, stress triaxiality is taken into account, and more importantly, the exponential effect of the equivalent plastic strain on the damage behavior, which is generally ignored in other ductile fracture criteria, is also considered. The material related constants in the modified ductile fracture criterion are determined by tensile tests together with finite element simulations. The applicability and reliability of the ductile fracture criterion in ductile fracture prediction in two types of classic stress states, viz. shear stress, tensile stress in sheet metal forming, are investigated based on the deformation behavior and fracture occurrence in two case studies with two typical types of materials, i.e. Al 6061 and T10A. The materials have a wide range of plasticity. The simulation and experimental results verify the applicability and reliability of the developed ductile fracture criterion in prediction of the ductile fracture with and without necking in different stress states of plastic strain.
