Formability of AA6061 T4 mainly depends upon the physical and mechanical properties of the materials. This study focuses on the effect of annealing at different soaking temperature with furnace cooling conditions. Effects are investigated at three orientations 0o, 45o, and 90o to the rolling direction of sheet metal. The value of plastic strain ratio and strain hardening exponent at three orientations were evaluated.

Al-Mg-Si alloy was rolled asymmetrically at several temperatures to apply shear deformation, and the effects of the initial precipitate on shear deformation, texture evolution, formability, and plastic anisotropy were studied. Texture was analyzed using a EBSD, and the formability and plastic anisotropy of the specimen were evaluated using the value and value calculated from the plastic strain ratio (r-value) which was determined from the change in the length of the specimen during tensile deformation. Asymmetric rolling induces a larger equivalent strain than symmetric rolling, and the equivalent strain increases as the asymmetric rolling temperature increases. When a specimen with peak-aged initial precipitates was asymmetrically rolled, less shear deformation occurred at room temperature than in a solution-treated specimen without initial precipitates. In contrast, a larger shear deformation occurred at high temperatures (500°C). With asymmetric rolling at room temperature, the specimens without initial precipitates had higher formability and lower plasticity, while for asymmetric rolling at high temperature, the specimens with initial precipitates had higher formability and lower plastic anisotropy. This is due to the <111>//ND texture, such as {111}<110> and {111}<112> orientation that has similar and high r-values at 0°, 45°, and 90° to the rolling direction, developed by the shear deformation that occurred during asymmetric rolling.

Tensile tests and a cold deep drawing process were developed at room temperature to estimate the stamping formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet. The results show that AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet has poor formability at room temperature with the total elongation of ~ 20%, the yield ratio is about 0.6 and the strain-hardening exponent is 0.18, while the plastic strain ratio is 1.58, and the earing ratio is-0.55.Thus, AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet can not suffer server plastic deformation. It was found that comparatively shallow magnesium alloy cups were satisfactorily formed at room temperature without heating when the punch fillet radius 6mm and the die fillet radius10mm with a 1mm thickness sheet with limit drawing ratio of 1.25.

The aims of this research were study the microstructures and mechanical properties for partial replacement of cement with Fly ash (FA) and kaolin waste (KW). Ordinary Portland cement were partially replaced with FA and KW in the range of 25-35% and 10-25% by weight of cement powder. The kaolin waste was ground for 180 minutes before using. The specimen was packing into an iron mold which sample size of 5×5×5 cm3. Then, the specimens were kept at room temperature for 24 hours and were moist cured in the incubation lime water bath at age of 3 days. After that the specimens were dry cured with plastic wrap at age of 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. After that the compounds were examined by x-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) and the microstructures were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The compressive strength was then investigated.

Al-Mg alloys developed for auto body sheets with different Cu contents were fabricated in the laboratory scale. The effects of Cu content on the microstructures, formability and Portevin–Le Chatelier(PLC) effect of the alloys were investigated by polarizied optical microscopy and room temperature tensile testing. It has been found that with increasing Cu content, there was little change of the strain hardening exponent, but the plastic strain ratio and limiting drawing ratio increased firstly and then decreased. A quantitative statistical analysis of the characteristics of the PLC effect was made, including the stress drop and the reloading time, which follow a common linear relationship with plastic strain, and the increase rate of stress drop and reloading time was bigger with more Cu content. A detailed discussion of the corresponding mechanism of Cu and Cu-containing precipitates on the dynamic strain aging(DSA) was made.

The long-term property development of fly ash (FA)-based geopolymer (FA−GEO) incorporating industrial solid waste carbide slag (CS) for up to 360 d is still unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the fresh, physical, and mechanical properties and microstructures of FA−GEO composites with CS and to evaluate the effects of CS when the composites were cured for 360 d. FA−GEO composites with CS were manufactured using FA (as an aluminosilicate precursor), CS (as a calcium additive), NaOH solution (as an alkali activator), and standard sand (as a fine aggregate). The fresh property and long-term physical properties were measured, including fluidity, bulk density, porosity, and drying shrinkage. The flexural and compressive strengths at 60 d and 360 d were tested. Furthermore, the microstructures and gel products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results show that the additional 20.0% CS reduces the fluidity and increases the conductivity of FA−GEO composites. Bulk densities were decreased, porosities were increased, and drying shrinkages were decreased as the CS content was increased from 0.0% to 20.0% at 360 d. Room temperature is a better curing condition to obtain a higher long-term mechanical strength. The addition of 20.0% CS is more beneficial to the improvement of long-term flexural strength and toughness at room temperature. The gel products in CS−FA−GEO with 20.0% CS are mainly determined as the mixtures of sodium aluminosilicate (N−A−S−H) gel and calcium silicate hydration (C−S−H) gel, besides the surficial pan-alkali. The research results provide an experimental basis for the reuse of CS in various scenarios.

Lightweight magnesium alloys are being increasingly used in automotive and other transportation industries to achieve energy efficiency. The objective of this thesis was to study the mechanical properties of two wrought alloys AZ31 and AM30. With increasing strain rate the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength increased and the strain hardening exponent decreased for AM30 and increased for AZ31. Both alloys exhibited stable cyclic characteristics at lower strain amplitudes and cyclic hardening characteristics at higher strain amplitudes. The Bauschinger effect was pronounced at higher strain amplitudes, resulting in asymmetric hysteresis loops in both alloys. The influence of strain ratio (Rs), strain rate, and initial straining direction on the cyclic deformation characteristics and fatigue life was evaluated. At low Rs, both alloys exhibited strong cyclic hardening, which decreased as Rs increased. Fatigue crack initiation was observed to occur from the specimen surface and crack propagation was basically characterized by striation-like features.

As-received hot-rolled 5.6 mm thick IF steel sheet was symmetrically/asymmetrically cold rolled at room temperature down to 1.9 mm. The asymmetric rolling was carried out in monotonic (an idle roll is always on the same side of the sheet) and reversal (the sheet was turned 180º around the rolling direction between passes) modes. Microstructure, texture and mechanical properties were analysed. The observed differences in structure and mechanical properties were modest, and therefore further investigation of the effects of other kinds of asymmetry is suggested.

Due to a widely increasing usage of polymers in various industrial applications, there should be a continuous need in doing research investigations for better understanding of their properties. These applications require the usage of the polymer in different working environments subjecting the material to various temperature ranges. In this paper, an experimental investigation of mechanical properties of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polymer under heating and cooling conditions is presented. For this purpose standard samples are prepared and tested in laboratory using universal material testing apparatus. The samples are tested under different conditions including the room temperature environment, cooling in a refrigerator, and heating at different heating temperatures. It is observed that the strength of the tested samples decreases with the increasing of heating temperature and accordingly the material becomes softer. Meanwhile the cooling environments give a clear increasing to the strength of the material.

The texture, the formability and the correlation between formability indices of Al-0.9Mg- 1.0Si-0.7Cu-0.6Mn alloy for automotive body sheets subjected to solid solution, T4, annealing treatment and artificial aging at 443k for different time were investigated by orientation distribution functions(ODF) analysis, tensile and cupping test, FLD measurement and regression analysis method. The results showed that the textures of cold rolled alloy sheets consist mainly of copper and brass orientations, which are transformed into the texture mainly containing {001}<310> orientation after recrystallization, and aging treatment has little influence on the recrystallization texture. The formability of alloy sheets subjected to solid solution, T4 and annealing treatment is similar, however, the formability was observably deteriorated after aging at 443k. The correlation between uniform elongation δu and FLD0 is the most remarkable in all the given formability indices, the correlation between strain-hardening exponent n and the FLD0 take second place, while there is no correlation between plastic strain ratio r and FLD0. The correlation between reduction of area ψ and cupping value IE is distinct, while ψ and IE have little correlation with FLD0.
