AbstractA series of ring compression tests using BS970:708M40 alloy steel samples were studied. These tests were conducted using a 2-factor soak-temperature variable, namely 1030 °C and 1300 °C, and a 4-factor lubricant variable consisting of unlubricated samples, synthetic water-based, graphite water-based, and graphite and molybdenum disulphide viscous grease. The lubricant agents were all applied to the tool/billet interface. Process variables such as blow force and heating were controlled with the use of a gravitationally operated drop hammer and an automated programmable induction-heating unit. This matrix of the experimental parameters offered a sound base for exploring dominant factors impacting upon bulk deformation. This deformation was measured using fully calibrated equipment and then systematically recorded. A finite element modelling framework was developed to further improve the thermo-mechanical deformation process understanding, with finite element (FE) predictions validated through experimental measurement. Through the combined experimental and FE work, it was shown that temperature variation in the experimental parameter matrix played a larger role in determining deformation than the lubrication agent. Additionally, the use of synthetic and graphite water-based lubricants does not necessarily produce greater deformation when used in high-temperature forgings due to the lubricants breaking down, evaporating, or inducing rapid billet cooling as a result of the carrier used (water). Graphite-molybdenum disulphate grease far outperforms the other lubricants used in this trial in reducing friction and allowing deformation to occur across a die-face.

Friction Calibration

The main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of material properties, strain-rate sensitivity, and barreling on the behavior of friction calibration curves. The compression tests were conducted to obtain the necessary material properties for the finite element analysis. A series of ring compression tests were then conducted in order to determine the magnitude of the friction coefficient, μ. The experiments were first conducted for the modeling materials, namely, white and black plasticine and later on, for aluminum, copper, bronze, and brass. The experiments were then simulated via an elastic-plastic finite element code (ABAQUS). Contrary to the results available in the literature, where the same friction calibration curves are recommended for all types of materials and test conditions, the results of this investigation showed that friction calibration curves are indeed affected by the material properties and test conditions.

Flow Stress Data

The most accepted method for determining friction conditions in metal forming is the ring compression test (RCT). At high temperatures, extraction of the friction coefficient, μ, commonly requires numerical analysis due to the coupling between the mechanical and thermal fields. In the current study, compression tests of cylindrical specimens and RCT experiments were conducted on commercially pure aluminium (Al1050) at several temperatures, loading rates, and lubrication conditions. The experiments were used in conjunction with a coupled thermo-mechanical finite element analysis to study the dependence of the friction coefficient on those parameters. It is demonstrated that due to the coupling between friction conditions and material flow stress, both μ and flow stress data should be determined from the cylinder and ring specimens simultaneously and not subsequently. The computed friction conditions are validated using a novel method based on identification of the plastic flow neutral radius. It is shown that, due to heat loss mechanisms, the experimental system preparation stage must be incorporated in the computational analysis. The study also addresses the limitation of the RCT in the presence of high friction conditions. The computational models are finally used to examine the thermo-mechanical fields, which develop during the different processes, with an emphasis on the effect of friction conditions, which were then correlated to the resulting microstructure in the RCTs.

Constant Friction

Ring compression tests were conducted at constant true strain rates in the temperature range of 900–975°C. The constant friction shear factor, m, was determined using a calibration chart. Scaling was permitted during the experiments in which a glass based lubricant was also used. Frictional conditions were affected most by the rate of strain; increasing it led to lower values of m.

This paper deals with friction properties and deformation resistance during hot forming of Mg-Al-Ca-Mn series magnesium alloys. Friction coefficients between dies and magnesium alloys were obtained by ring compression tests that used graphite, PTFE, and an oil lubricant in a hot-forging process. Hot forging was performed under various conditions to clarify the effects of types of lubricants and slide motion of the press machines on friction properties. Two types of slide motion, a constant velocity motion and a pulse motion were selected in the ring-compression test. It was found that graphite with an oil lubricant effectively eliminated die sticking in hot forming of magnesium alloys. The isothermal deformation resistances were derived using friction coefficients obtained by ring-compression tests as well as finite-element simulations. The predicted stress strain curves with temperature were examined with the stress-strain relationship obtained in experiments using a servo press and demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Hydride Reorientation

The ring compression test applied to nuclear fuel cladding is relatively easy to perform but difficult to interpret. It can be representative of the loading state associated to a hypothetical spent fuel assembly drop accident. This is particularly important for spent fuel cladding subjected to drying operations previous to storage and transportation, because they may produce hydride reorientation along the radial direction of cladding. In this paper, experimental testing and numerical simulations are combined to obtain operative failure criteria from the results of the ring compression tests on unirradiated pre-hydrided samples with radial hydrides, simulating drying, storage and subsequent transport conditions.

Failures in IT electronics are often caused by falling or external shocks during transportation. These failures cause customers to mistrust the reliability of the products. Many manufacturers of IT electronics have not only used cushioning materials but also increased the shock resistance of their products for failure prevention. Especially in case of printer products, the design of the packaging and the product robustness are extremely important because of their substantial weight and the fragility of the internal modules. For product design, it is essential to understand the impact failure mechanism of the products. In this study, a compression test, a drop impact test, and a finite element analysis (FEA) were performed to analyze the dynamic behaviors of a packaged multifunction printer (MFP). The mechanical properties of a cushioning material were measured by compression tests. The FE models of the cushion packaging and the MFP included the physical characteristics of the internal modules, and their dynamic behaviors were obtained using the commercial software ls-dyna3d. Simulation results were also compared with drop test results to verify the proposed FE models. The shock resistance of the MFP was assessed by stress analysis and strength evaluation. We also expect our FE models will be useful for evaluating the fragility of the internal modules because the models can numerically estimate the shock acceleration profiles of the internal modules, which are difficult to measure experimentally.

The feasibility of forging of AL-1050 alloy of cylindrical heatsink under warm conditions is demonstrated in the present work. The stress-strain curves and friction factor play an important role in the cylindrical heatsink forging. The purpose of forging lubrication is to reduce friction between blank and die, and to decrease resistance of metal flow to die. The stress-strain curves at different temperatures are obtained by compressing tests. The friction factor between 1050 aluminum alloy and die material are determined at different temperatures by ring compression tests with graphite lubricants. The compressing and ring compressing tests are carried out by using the computerized screw universal testing machine. The finite element method is used to investigate the forming characters of the forging process. To verify the prediction of FEM simulation in the cylindrical heatsink forging process, the experimental parameters such as stress-strain curves and fiction factor, are as the input data during analysis. Maximum forging load and effective stress distribution are determined of the heatsink forging, using the finite element analysis. Finally, the cylindrical heatsink parts are formed by the forging machine under the conditions using finite element analysis.
