Finite Element Prediction

Investigation into behaviors of aluminum alloy to be metal formed at the room temperature is conducted in this study. An index is used to evaluate the sensitivity of temperature, that is, index of relative normalized temperature rise to steel called normalized temperature rise index per steel which helps researchers to obtain some insight on new materials based on experiences of steel forging. An investigation to an aluminum alloy shows that the index is quite high, implying that temperature effect as well as rate-dependence effect on the forming processes of aluminum alloy at the room temperature cannot be neglected. Some details of thermomechanical predictions of a relatively high-speed automatic multi-stage forging process of a yoke with highly deformed region are given to reveal the importance of temperature and/or strain rate even in cold forging of aluminum alloy parts with high speed and high strain.

Static Mechanical Properties

While welded forging preforms offer potential benefits for producing forged parts, work to date has mainly been concentrated on assessing static mechanical properties. As dynamic properties are an important consideration, the objective in the current study was to assess the high cycle fatigue properties of 6061-T6 aluminum forging performs which were prepared using friction welding. Monolithic and friction welded specimens were prepared and hot worked using a laboratory press. Fatigue data was then generated using a rotating beam test machine and a metallurgical evaluation of the weld zone performed. The results showed that, in general, forged preforms demonstrated superior fatigue life when compared to as-friction welded preforms in the same temper condition. Fatigue performance was also found to be comparable to that obtained from monolithic forging preforms which had an identical processing history.

Distribution Of Dislocations

The free forging process of medium scale specimen was carried out to study the effects of the die temperature on the microstructure evolution of 7A85 aluminum forging. The results show that with the increase of die temperature, the size of the grains and the distribution of dislocations and precipitates of free forging tend to have a high degree of uniformity. Considering the effects of die temperature, the isothermal forging process was applied for the deformation of complex aviation forging. The metal flows smoothly during the isothermal forging process and thus there is little possibility of forming unfill, crack and other defects. The dislocations are evenly distributed during the isothermal forging process. Consequently, there is a relatively uniform distribution of precipitated phases of the aviation forging.
