The stress strain curve of 7075 aluminum alloy in the temperature range of 310 °C to 410 °C was obtained by Gleeble-3800. By Nakazima test, the isothermal thermoforming limit diagrams of 7075 aluminum alloy at different deformation temperatures and stamping speeds were acquired. Moreover, the parameters of automotive S-rail hot stamping process were optimized by GA-BP neural network. The results show that the forming limit curve of 7075 aluminum alloy increases as the deformation temperature and stamping speed increase. The predicted optimal parameters for hot stamping of automotive S-rails by GA-BP neural network are: stamping speed is 50 mm/s, friction coefficient between die and blank is 0.1, and blank holder force is 5 kN. The maximum thinning rate at this process parameter is 9.37%, which provided a reference for 7075 aluminum alloy automotive S-rail hot stamping.

The connection between the steel joint and aluminum alloy pipe is the weak part of the aluminum alloy drill pipe. Practically, the interference connection between the aluminum alloy rod and the steel joint is usually realized by thermal assembly. In this paper, the relationship between the cooling water flow rate, initial heating temperature and the thermal deformation of the steel joint in interference thermal assembly was studied and predicted. Firstly, the temperature data of each measuring point of the steel joint were obtained by a thermal assembly experiment. Based on the theory of thermoelasticity, the analytical solution of the thermal deformation of the steel joint was studied. The temperature function was fitted by the least square method, and the calculated value of radial thermal deformation of the section was finally obtained. Based on the BP neural network algorithm, the thermal deformation of steel joint section was predicted. Besides, a prediction model was established, which was about the relationship between cooling water flow rate, initial heating temperature and interference. The magnitude of interference fit of steel joint was predicted. The magnitude of the interference fit of the steel joint was predicted. A polynomial model, exponential model and Gaussian model were adopted to predict the sectional deformation so as to compare and analyze the predictive performance of a BP neural network, among which the polynomial model was used to predict the magnitude of the interference fit. Through a comparative analysis of the fitting residual (RE) and sum of squares of the error (SSE), it can be known that a BP neural network has good prediction accuracy. The predicted results showed that the error of the prediction model increases with the increase of the heating temperature in the prediction model of the steel node interference and related factors. When the cooling water velocity hit 0.038 m/s, the prediction accuracy was the highest. The prediction error increases with the increase or decrease of the velocity. Especially when the velocity increases, the trend of error increasing became more obvious. The analysis shows that this method has better prediction accuracy.

Genetic algorithm is introduced in the study of network authority values of BP neural network, and a GA-NN algorithm is established. Based on this genetic algorithm-neural network method, a predictive model for fatigue performances of the pre-corroded aluminum alloys under a varied corrosion environmental spectrum was developed by means of training from the testing dada. At the same time, a fuzzy-neural network method is established for the same purpose. The results indicate that genetic algorithm-neural network and fuzzy-neural network can both be employed to predict the underlying fatigue performances of the pre-corroded aluminum alloy precisely.

Deformation Behaviors

AbstractIn order to investigate the hot deformation behaviors of as-extruded 7075 aluminum alloy, the isothermal compressive tests were conducted at the temperatures of 573, 623, 673 and 723 K and the strain rates of 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 s−1 on a Gleeble 1500 thermo-mechanical simulator. The flow behaviors showing complex characteristics are sensitive to strain, strain rate and temperature. The effects of strain, temperature and strain rate on flow stress were analyzed and dynamic recrystallization (DRX)-type softening characteristics of the flow behaviors with single peak were identified. An artificial neural network (ANN) with back-propagation (BP) algorithm was developed to deal with the complex deformation behavior characteristics based on the experimental data. The performance of ANN model has been evaluated in terms of correlation coefficient (R) and average absolute relative error (AARE). A comparative study on Arrhenius-type constitutive equation and ANN model for as-extruded 7075 aluminum alloy was conducted. Finally, the ANN model was successfully applied to the development of processing map and implanted into finite element simulation. The results have sufficiently articulated that the well-trained ANN model with BP algorithm has excellent capability to deal with the complex flow behaviors of as-extruded 7075 aluminum alloy and has great application potentiality in hot deformation processes.

The internal stress difference between soft-ductile aluminum alloy substrate and hard-brittle Ni–W alloy coating will cause stress concentration, thus leading to the problem of poor bonding force. Herein, this work prepared the Ni–W graded coating on aluminum alloy matrix by the pulse electrodeposition method in order to solve the mechanical mismatch problem between substrate and coatings. More importantly, a backward propagation (BP) neural network was applied to efficiently optimize the pulse electrodeposition process of Ni–W graded coating. The SEM, EDS, XRD, Vickers hardness tester and Weighing scales are used to analyze the micromorphology, chemical element, phase composition, and micro hardness as well as oxidation weight increase, respectively. The results show that the optimal process conditions with BP neural network are as follows: the bath temperature is 30 °C, current density is 15 mA/cm2 and duty cycle is 0.3. The predicted value of the model agrees well with the experimental value curve, the relative error is minor. The maximum error is less than 3%, and the correlation coefficient is 0.9996. The Ni–W graded coating prepared by BP neural network shows good bonding with the substrate which has flat and smooth interface. The thickness of the coating is about 136 μm, which slows down the oxidation of the substrate and plays an effective role in protecting the substrate.
