AbstractIdentical Al-Mg-Mn-Sc alloys without and with 0.034-wt% Sn additions were fabricated, heat-treated, and tensile tested in a fine-grain (d < 6 pm) condition at four strain rates from 10−2 to 10−4 s−1 and at temperatures from 723K to 823K. Alloys with Sn additions exhibited reduced failure strains at 723K but higher failure strains at 823K for the slowest strain rates. The effect of Sn on flow stress, activation energy for flow stress, and strain rate exponent was explored and was found to be small. The main effect of Sn was suggested to be in reducing cavitation by allowing a redistribution of stress at critical hetero-junctions in the alloys.

The rheological behavior of two kinds Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy with different extrusion ratio was studied by thermal compression in 300°C~450°C and in strain rate range of 0.01 s-1~10s-1 on Gleeble1500D simulator. The results show that: (1)the flow stress increases with deSuperscript textcreasing deformation temperature and increasing strain rate, and the initial microstructure influence the rheological behavior, the flow stress with fine grain is higher than that with coarse one except in strain rate 0.01s-1 and 0.1s-1 in 450°C owing to deformation easily with more grain boundary sliding in high temperature and low strain rate.(2)The flow stress of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy during hot compression can be expressed as hyperbolic sine constitutive equation with Arrhenius parameter, the apparent steady state activation energy for hot compression with coarse grain is of 181.51kJ/mol, while that with fine grain is of 203.02kJ/mol.(3) The apparent steady state activation energy decreases with increasing temperature and strain rate, and the value of fine initial microstructure is higher than the low extrusion ratio rod commonly.

Hot deformation characteristics of forged and β-quenched Zr-1.0Sn-0.3Nb-0.3Fe-0.1Cr (N18 alloy) in the temperature range 625–950°C and in the strain rate range 0.005–5 s−1 have been studied by uniaxial compression testing of Gleeble 3500. For this study, the approach of processing maps has been adopted and their interpretation done using the Dynamic Materials Model (DMM). Based on a series of true stress-true strain curves on various temperatures and strain rates, the flow stress has been summarized and both the strain rate sensitivity index (m) and deformation activation energy (Q) have been calculated by the constitutive equations that flow stress and the relationship of Z parameter and flow stress have been established subsequently. Furthermore, the efficiency of power dissipation (⬜) given by [2m/(m+1)] and improved by Murty has been plotted as a function of temperature and strain rate to obtain different processing maps at different true strain rates ranging from 0.1–0.7. Subsequently, the microstructures of the specimens after compression testing were characterized by electron channeling contrast (ECC) imaging techniques used an FEI Nova 400 field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM). The results showed that: (i) The hyperbolic sine constitutive equation can describe the flow stress behavior of zirconium alloy, and the deformation activation energy and flow stress equation were calculated under the different temperature stages which insists that the deformation mechanism is not dynamic recovery. (ii) The hot processing maps and its validation were analyzed, which indicated that the DMM theory was reliable and could be adopted as useful tool for optimizing hot workability of Zr. The optimum parameters for extrusion and hammer forging were revealed on the processing maps of 830–950°C, 0.048–2.141 s−1 and 916–950°C, 2.465–5 s−1. (iii) The microstructure of the ingot exhibits a typical lamellar Widmanstatten structure. Under the different strain rates, the grains formed by dynamic recrystallization existed normally in the central zone of the compression samples while the no uniformity of grain size increased with the increasing of strain rate. Meanwhile, due to the dynamic recrystallization as a thermal activation process, the grains size and uniformity increased with the increasing of temperature. In brief, microstructure analysis showed that continuous dynamic recrystallization and geometric dynamic recrystallization operated concurrently during the isothermal compressive deformation.

The creep behavior of a thick walled hollow circular cylinder, made of aluminum silicon carbide particulate composite material has been investigated in the present study and creep behavior in this case is assumed to follow Sherby's constitutive model. The stress and strain rate distributions of cylinder rotating about its own axis, have been obtained using von Mises and Tresca yield criteria. The effect of pressure on the stresses and strain rates in the cylinder has been investigated and it is observed that with the increase of the internal pressure in the cylinder the strain rate increases. The introduction of external pressure along with the internal pressure causes the strain rates to decrease. It is also observed that the values of effective stress and strain rate obtained using Tresca criterion are higher than those obtained using Mises criterion. Thus it is suggested to use Tresca criterion for the analysis while designing the cylinder.

Stress And Strain Rate

Modeling of turbulent flows in axial turbomachines is challenging due to the high spatial and temporal variability in the distribution of the strain rate components, especially in the tip region of rotor blades. High-resolution stereo-particle image velocimetry (SPIV) measurements performed in a refractive index-matched facility in a series of closely spaced planes provide a comprehensive database for determining all the terms in the Reynolds stress and strain rate tensors. Results are also used for calculating the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) production rate and transport terms by mean flow and turbulence. They elucidate some but not all of the observed phenomena, such as the high anisotropy, high turbulence levels in the vicinity of the tip leakage vortex (TLV) center, and in the shear layer connecting it to the blade suction side (SS) tip corner. The applicability of popular Reynolds stress models based on eddy viscosity is also evaluated by calculating it from the ratio between stress and strain rate components. Results vary substantially, depending on which components are involved, ranging from very large positive to negative values. In some areas, e.g., in the tip gap and around the TLV, the local stresses and strain rates do not appear to be correlated at all. In terms of effect on the mean flow, for most of the tip region, the mean advection terms are much higher than the Reynolds stress spatial gradients, i.e., the flow dynamics is dominated by pressure-driven transport. However, they are of similar magnitude in the shear layer, where modeling would be particularly challenging.
