Purpose: of this paper is to predict the hardness of cold rolled exhausts valve spindle fabricated of Nimonic 80A via axisymmetric finite element analysis, compression testing, and hardness inspection. Design/methodology/approach: The stress-strain relationship of Nimonic 80A was obtained via compression testing with deformation ratios of 10%, 20%, and 30%. Hardness changes caused by the strain hardening effect were measured in cut specimens in both the axial and circumferential directions following compression testing. The effective strain at the measurement position was calculated via finite element analysis. The regression equation for hardness changes caused by work hardening was derived from analysed strain and inspected hardness. The cold-rolling deformation of an exhaust valve spindle was analysed using axisymmetric finite element analysis. Findings: The stress-strain relationship calculated from compression testing was well expressed using the Holloman equation and the strain-hardness relationship by strain hardening was successfully regressed using the shifted power law model for Nimonic 80A, Nickel-Chromium based super alloy. Research limitations/implications: This research focused hardness prediction of spindle after ring rolling operation for generating beneficial compressive surface residual stresses for enhancing fatigue life. Further research to quantify compressive residual stress after rolling shall be followed to increase fatigue life. Practical implications: The cold rolling process is a typical incremental forming method and should be analysed under three-dimensional conditions. However, it takes lots of time to solve incremental forming analysis. To predict hardness distribution after rolling in the manufacturing field, FE analysis was performed under two-dimensional axisymmetric conditions based on the assumption of no friction generated by the rolling tool. The deformed shapes and hardness distribution from the inspection quality standard and two-dimensional FE analysis showed very similar results. Simplified finite element analysis method for ring rolling process for local area could be very effective method in the industrial field. Originality/value: The stress-strain relationship and the hardness and strain relationship were derived by compression test and hardness measurement for compressed specimen for Nimonic 80A, Nickel-Chromium based super alloy. And simplified finite element analysis method was suggested to predict deformed shape and hardness distribution of locally cold rolled region and achieved similar result between FE analysis result and Quality standard. Suggested method would be very effective method to engine spindle manufacture to predict hardness of different size of product.

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are promising materials for actuation in space applications, because of the relatively large deformations and forces that they offer. However, their complex behaviour and interaction of several physical domains (electrical, thermal and mechanical), the study of SMA behaviour is a challenging field. Present work aims at correlating the Finite Element (FE) analysis of SMA with closed form solutions and experimental data. Though sufficient literature is available on closed form solution of SMA, not much detail is available on the Finite element Analysis. In the present work an attempt is made for characterization of SMA through solving the governing equations by established closed form solution, and finally correlating FE results with these data. Extensive experiments were conducted on 0.3mm diameter NiTinol SMA wire at various temperatures and stress conditions and these results were compared with FE analysis conducted using MSC.Marc. A comparison of results from finite element analysis with the experimental data exhibits fairly good agreement.

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.

Determination of transverse mechanical properties from the ring type of specimens directly machined from the nuclear reactor pressure tubes is not straightforward. It is due to the presence of combined membrane as well as bending stresses arising in the loaded condition because of the curvature of the specimen. These tubes are manufactured through a complicated process of pilgering and heat treatment and hence, the transverse properties need to be determined in the as-manufactured condition. It may not also be possible to machine small miniaturized specimen in the circumferential direction especially in the irradiated condition. In this work, we have performed ring-tensile tests on the un-irradiated ring tensile specimen using two split semi-cylindrical mandrels as the loading device. A three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed in order to determine the material true stress–strain curve by comparing experimental load–displacement data with those predicted by finite element analysis. In order to validate the methodology, miniaturized tensile specimens were machined from these tubes and tested. It was observed that the stress–strain data as obtained from ring tensile specimen could describe the load–displacement curve of the miniaturized flat tensile specimen very well. However, it was noted that the engineering stress–strain as directly obtained from the experimental load–displacement curves of the ring tensile tests were very different from that of the miniaturized specimen. This important aspect has been resolved in this work through the use of an innovative type of 3-piece loading mandrel.
