Inconel 718 Superalloy

Inconel 718 superalloy is one of the difficult-to-machine materials which is employed widely in aerospace industries because of its superior properties such as heat-resistance, high melting temperature, and maintenance of strength and hardness at high temperatures. Material behavior of the Inconel 718 is an important challenge during finite element simulation of the machining process because of the mentioned properties. In this regard, various constants for Johnson–Cook’s constitutive equation have been reported in the literature. Owing to the fact that simulation of machining process is very sensitive to the material model, in this study the effect of different flow stresses were investigated on outputs of the orthogonal cutting process of Inconel 718 alloy. For each model, the predicted results of cutting forces, chip geometry and temperature were compared with experimental results of the previous work at the different feed rates. After comparing the results of the different models, the most suitable Johnson–Cook’s material model was indentified. Obtained results showed that the selected material model can be used reliably for machining simulation of Inconel 718 superalloy.

This paper provides a comprehensive assessment on some commonly used thermo-viscoplastic constitutive models of metallic materials during severe plastic deformation at high-strain rates. An hcp model previously established by us was improved in this paper to enhance its predictability by incorporating the key saturation characteristic of strain hardening. A compensation-based stress-updating algorithm was also developed to introduce the new hcp model into a finite element program. The improved model with the developed algorithm was then applied in finite element simulation to investigate the high-speed machining of Ti6Al4V. It was found that by using different material models, the simulated results of cutting forces, serrated chip morphologies, and residual stresses can be different too and that the improved model proposed in this paper can be applied to simulate the titanium alloy machining process more reliably due to its physical basis when compared with some other empirical Johnson–Cook models.

Element Simulation

Inconel 718 alloy is a typical difficult-to-cut material and widely used in the aerospace industry. Finite element simulation is an efficient method to investigate the cutting process, whereby a work material constitutive model plays an important role. In this paper, finite element simulation of the cutting process for Inconel 718 alloy using a new material constitutive model for high strain rates is presented. The effect of tool cutting edge radius on the cutting forces and temperature is then investigated with a view to facilitate cutting tool design. It is found that as the cutting edge radius increases, the characteristics of tool-work friction and the material removal mechanisms change, resulting in variation in cutting forces and temperature. It is shown that a smaller cutting edge radius is preferred to reduce the cutting forces and cutting temperature.

Aluminum sheets used for beverage cans show a significant anisotropic plastic material behavior in sheet metal forming operations. In a deep drawing process of cups this anisotropy leads to a non-uniform height, i.e., an earing profile. The prediction of this earing profiles is important for the optimization of the forming process. In most cases the earing behavior cannot be predicted precisely based on phenomenological material models. In the presented work a micromechanical, texture-based model is used to simulate the first two steps (cupping and redrawing) of a can forming process. The predictions of the earing profile after each step are compared to experimental data. The mechanical modeling is done with a large strain elastic visco-plastic crystal plasticity material model with Norton type flow rule for each crystal. The response of the polycrystal is approximated by a Taylor type homogenization scheme. The simulations are carried out in the framework of the finite element method. The shape of the earing profile from the finite element simulation is compared to experimental profiles.

The change of ambient temperature will cause deformation during the machining process of large-scale aerospace monolithic component. Based on finite element simulation, thermally induced deformation of reinforcing plate is studied in such aspects as reinforcement structure, clamping method and temperature change, and contact function in finite element software is used to simulate the unilateral constraint between workpiece and worktable. The results indicate that reinforcing plate will produce warping deformation due to the change of ambient temperature. Different reinforcement structures and clamping methods have important influence on the deformation positions and degrees, and the deformation is proportional to the temperature change.
