Stating Failure Modelling Limitations of High Strength Sheets: Implications to Sheet Metal Forming

This article discusses the fracture modelling accuracy of strain-driven ductile fracture models when introducing damage of high strength sheet steel. Numerical modelling of well-known fracture mechanical tests was conducted using a failure and damage model to control damage and fracture evolution. A thorough validation of the simulation results was conducted against results from laboratory testing. Such validations show that the damage and failure model is suited for modelling of material failure and fracture evolution of specimens without damage. However, pre-damaged specimens show less correlation as the damage and failure model over-predicts the displacement at crack initiation with an average of 28%. Consequently, the results in this article show the need for an extension of the damage and failure model that accounts for the fracture mechanisms at the crack tip. Such extension would aid in the improvement of fracture mechanical testing procedures and the modelling of high strength sheet metal manufacturing, as several sheet manufacturing processes are defined by material fracture.

Reducing the flaws of 08Yu steel sheet blanks, designed for cold stamping products

The aim of the work is to develop a method of increasing the technological plasticity while maintaining the strength and preventing aging of blanks of cold-rolled sheet steel 08Yu. The task of this work is research and determination of optimal temperature-time parameters of high-speed contact recrystallization annealing and subsequent aging of 08Yu steel sheet blanks to obtain the required level of mechanical properties that would improve their deformability and ability of very deep drawing during cold stamping of products. The optimal parameters of the speed mode are set recrystallization annealing of cold-rolled 08Yu sheet steel, which provides the best structure and properties for further cold pressure treatment. The temperature-time modes of further aging and possibilities to prevent the processes of its natural aging during prolonged operation or transportation have been studied. The method and modes of heat treatment of blanks from finished 08Yu sheet steel to facilitate their deformability and improve stamping in order to reduce waste in the manufacture of products by cold deformatiion with deep and complex drawing were suggested.

HIGH TEMPERATURE CORROSION OF THIN SHEET STEEL 08KP IN AIR

The study of the nature of high-temperature corrosion of metals is one of the tasks in substantiating the relevance of the use of corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant coatings and barrier layers obtained on the basis of the natural oxidation process. The article presents the gradation of oxidation of surfaces of 08kp thin-sheet steel at diff erent temperature-time parameters of one cycle “heating-cooling”. To regulate the processing modes and register thermal eff ects, a diff erential thermal analysis device was used. It is shown that the eff ect of elevated temperatures on steel in air at atmospheric pressure triggers an intensive growth of scale, which peels off from the metal base and breaks down. After descaling on the steel surface, in addition to blue tarnishing, in some cases, fi lms of a red tint were found. Based on the data of diff erential thermal analysis, an att empt was made to separate and interpret transformations related directly to steel and to reactions in scale associated with iron oxides.

Assessment of end-of-life vehicle recycling: Remanufacturing waste sheet steel into mesh sheet

The automobile industry contributes significantly to global energy use and carbon emissions. Hence, there are significant economic and environmental benefits in recovering materials from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). Here, the remanufacturing of waste steel sheet (WSS) from ELVs into useful mesh steel sheet (MSS) for metal forming applications was evaluated based on its technological, economic, and environmental feasibility. A remanufacturing plant with a dismantling capacity of over 30,171 ELV/year and a recovery capacity of 1000 m2/d of WSS was used as a case study. Remanufacturing can achieve a total reduction of ~3800 kg CO2/ELV and an economic benefit of ~775 USD/ELV compared with conventional recycling. The calculated feasibility indexes were similar to or exceeded standard feasibility thresholds, indicating that WSS remanufacturing is a viable sustainable development route and has synergistic benefits when combined with existing recycling plants, especially in developing countries as small-to-medium enterprises.

Recognition of surface defects of rolled steel in sheets by application micro-X-ray spectral analysis

Surface defects of sheet rolled products have a significant impact on its quality, performance and further processing of products, for example, on application of a protective anticorrosive coating. Therefore, the elimination of such defects and their accurate identification is an important aspect of sheet rolling production. Reducing the rejection of metal for surface defects enables to get a significant technical and economic effect. Investigation of the causes of defectiveness of the surface of sheet rolled products will make it possible to determine the source of the appearance of the defects and methods to prevent them. Determination of the nature and morphology of surface defects, the sources of which being metallic and non-metallic inclusions, as well as remnants of slag surface layer, scales from metallurgical and rolling stages, rolled into the surface of a hot-rolled sheet, is often difficult, since the appearance of the defects is very similar. It was shown that application of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with micro-X-ray spectral analysis (MXSA), thermodynamic analysis makes it possible to determine the chemical composition of micro-areas and associate it with the end-to-end technology of sheet production. The article presents the results of identifying surface defects of cold-rolled sheet steel.

Optimization of the formation technology of tripolyphosphate coating on mild steel

Tripolyphosphate conversion coatings are promising due to the active type of anti-corrosion protection. However, to be introduced into production, it is necessary to optimize the technology of tripolyphosphate coating deposition. Coatings were deposited to samples of st05kp cold-rolled sheet steel (analogs G10050, G10060, 1CR, 2CR, D6-2, DG-2) from aqueous solutions of sodium tripolyphosphate (4 %, 6 %, 10 %, 12 %, 14 %) at t=80 °C by dip coating and sputtering. The specific weight and morphology of the coating were determined. The corrosion-protective capability was studied in the G-4 climatic chamber at 90 °C and 100 % humidity using Akimov's test. The prospects of the dip coating and sputtering methods were shown. It was revealed that in the dip coating method, the specific weight of the coating was 1–4 g/m2 and increased linearly at a rate of 0.3–0.35 g/m2 by 1 % (wt.) Na5P3O10. For the sputtering coating method, it was revealed that at 4–8 % Na5P3O10, the growth rate of the specific weight was 0.2 g/m2 by 1 % Na5P3O10 and the specific weight exceeded that of the coating obtained by the dip coating method, due to accelerated oxygen access and increased coating formation rate. At 10–14 % Na5P3O10, the growth rate of the specific weight was 0.55–0.65 g/m2 by 1 % Na5P3O10. However, the specific weight was lower than that of the coating obtained by the dip coating method, due to the self-compaction of the iron tripolyphosphate matrix and decreased mass of the Na5P3O10 filler. Using accelerated corrosion testing methods, the optimum Na5P3O10 concentration to obtain a coating with the highest corrosion-protective capability was 6 %–10 % (wt.). The correlation of the protective capability of the coating samples with the coating defects and cracks was revealed
