The model was created by deducing a set of linear incremental controlling equations within the framework of crystal plasticity theory. It was directly solved by a linear algorithm within a two-level procedure so that its efficiency and stability were guaranteed. A subroutine VUMAT for ABAQUS/Explicit was developed to combine this model with the 3D FE model of cold ring rolling. Results indicate that the model is reliable in predictions of stress-strain response and texture evolution in the dynamic complicated forming process; the shear strain in RD of the ring is the critical deformation mode according to the sharp Goss component ({110}?100?) of deformed ring; texture and crystallographic structure of the ring blank do not affect texture type of the deformed ring;texture evolves rapidly at the later stage of rolling, which results in a dramatically increasing deformation of the ring.展开更多

The samples were hot compressed by thermal simulation method with different processing parameters. Variant selection induced by stress during cooling after compression was found. The prismatical texture component which featured that the [0001] direction perpendicular to the compressing direction produced preferentially under the compressing stress. As a result, the transformedα phase possesses strong prismatical texture which is different with the basal texture of compressed αphase. The minimum elastic strain energy is demonstrated to be the main reason that causes the variant selection. Dynamic recrystallization behavior and microstructure evolution during hot compression were also studied.展开更多

The pure magnesium alloys include CPM1 and CPM2 castings having textures of columnar grains which extraordinarily influence the damping behaviours. The commercial pure magnesium alloy CPM was re-melted to obtain equiaxed grains, which could remove the effect of texture orientation on the damping behaviours of these pure magnesium alloys. The results of strain amplitude-dependent damping spectrums of these pure magnesium alloys show that the pure magnesium with equiaxed grains possesses the highest damping capacity. In temperature-dependent damping plot for all these three pure magnesium alloys, there are two damping peaks P1 and P2 located at 80 and 230 °C, respectively. These two damping peaks are considered to be caused by the interaction between dislocation and point defects, and the movement of grain boundaries, respectively.展开更多

The effects of extrusion temperatures and imposed boundary conditions on the resulting textures were investigated, and good agreement can be found between the simulated and the measured extrusion textures. The simulated results show that the DRX grains are responsible for the formation of the {2110} fiber component since the {1010} poles of the DRX grains are tilted away from those of the unrecrystallized grains during the formation of their high angle boundaries (HABs). Furthermore, the basal poles of the grains are favorably oriented to the transversal direction (TD) where the imposed deformation is larger due to lower slip resistance of the basal slip. The elevated temperature enhances the activity of pyramidal ?c+a? slip modes and gives rise to a larger recrystallized volume fraction, resulting in a weakened extrusion texture.展开更多

Texture and microstructure of an Al-7075 alloy subjected to repetitive equal channel angular pressing through a 90° die were evaluated by X-ray diffractometer and orientation imaging microscopy. It is observed that processing through different routes leads to different types of textures, in both qualitative and quantitative senses. The texture calculation by Labotex software reveals that texture strengthens after the first pass and weakens by progressing ECAP process up to 4 passes. Microstructure investigations show that after 4 passes of equal channel angular pressing via routes BC and A, very fine grains with average grain size of about 700 nm and 1 μm appear, respectively, and most of the grains evolve into arrays of high angle boundaries. The effects of covering the Al-7075 billets with copper tube on texture and microstructure were also studied.展开更多

By changing the assignment of orientations to finite elements, i.e. assigning the same set of orientations to all elements or different orientations to different elements, the influences of grain interaction on the formation of rolling textures were numerically simulated with this kind of crystal plasticity finite element model. The simulation results reveal that the grains without considering grain interaction rotate faster than those considering grain interaction, and the rotation of grain boundary is slowed down due to the grain interaction. For a good simulation more elements should be assigned to one grain, in which the effects of both the boundary and interior parts of grain contribute to the formation of rolling textures.展开更多
