Evolution of microstructure of aluminum alloy hollow shaft in cross wedge rolling without mandrel

During the process of cross wedge rolling of aluminum alloy hollow shaft, the evolution of its microstructure has an important influence on the mechanical properties of the rolled piece. In order to obtain the microstructure evolution law of aluminum alloy hollow shaft in cross wedge rolling without mandrel, a finite element model is constructed through the finite element software Deform-3D. The influences of rolling temperature, sectional shrinkage,spreading angle and forming angle on the average grain size of rolled piece are studied by numerical simulation of microstructure evolution. The cellular automata method reveals the inherent relationship between the process parameters and the evolution of the microstructure, and provides a reference for optimizing the rolling process parameters of aluminum alloy hollow shafts and improving the forming quality. The results show that the average grain size of the rolled piece increases with the increase of the rolling temperature, decreases with the increase of the sectional shrinkage,and decreases first and then increases with the increase of the spreading angle, and changes little with the increase of the forming angle.

Cellular automaton simulation of dynamic recrystallization behavior in V-10Cr-5Ti alloy under hot deformation conditions

The deformation behavior of V-10Cr-5Ti alloy was studied on the Gleeble-1500 thermomechanical simulator at the temperatures of 950-1350℃, and the strain rates of 0.01-10 s^-1. Based on the Arrhenius model, dislocation density model, nucleation model and grain growth model, a numerical cellular automaton (CA) model coupling simulation of hot deformation is established to simulate and characterize the microstructural evolution during DRX. The results show that the flow stress is fairly sensitive to the strain rate and deformation temperature. The error between the predicted stress by the Arrhenius model and the actual measured value is less than 8%. The initial average grain size calculated by the CA model is 86.25 μm, which is close to the experimental result (85.63 μm). The simulations show that the effect of initial grain size on the dynamic recrystallization microstructure evolution is not significant, while increasing the strain rate or reducing the temperature can refine the recrystallized grains.

Evaluation of Fabric Hand with Grey Element Model

A premium composite grey element model is established and used for objective evaluation of fabric hand. Fabric hand is regarded as a grey system and the model is composed of fabric mechanical properties, which are primary hand attributes. Based on comparison with a standard model, fabric hand can be objectively evaluated.

Simulation of solidification microstructure of Fe-6.5%Si alloy using cellular automaton-finite element method

3D microstructures of Fe–6.5%Si(mass fraction) alloys prepared under different cooling conditions were simulated via finite element-cellular automaton(CAFE) method. The simulated results were compared to experimental results and found to be in accordance. Variations in the temperature field and solid-liquid region, which plays important roles in determining solidification structures, were also examined under various cooling conditions. The proposed model was utilized to determine the effects of Gaussian distribution parameters to find that the lower the mean undercooling, the higher the equiaxed crystal zone ratio; also, the larger the maximum nucleation density, the smaller the grain size. The influence of superheat on solidification structure and columnar to equiaxed transition(CET) in the cast ingot was also investigated to find that decrease in superheat from 52 K to 20 K causes the equiaxed crystal zone ratio to increase from 58.13% to 65.6%, the mean gain radius to decrease from 2.102 mm to 1.871 mm, and the CET to occur ahead of schedule. To this effect, low superheat casting is beneficial to obtain finer equiaxed gains and higher equiaxed dendrite zone ratio in Fe–6.5%Si alloy cast ingots.

Structural effects of three-dimensional angle-interlock woven composite undergoing bending cyclic loading

This paper reports the structural effects of three-dimensional(3-D)angle-interlock woven composite(3DAWC)undergoing three-point bending cyclic loading from experimental and finite element analysis(FEA)approaches.In experiment,the fatigue tests were conducted to measure the bending deflection and to observe the damage morphologies.By the FEA approach,a micro-structural unit-cell model of the 3DAWC was established at the yarn level to simulate the fatigue damage.The stress degradation at the loading condition of constant deformation amplitude was calculated to show the degradation of mechanical properties.In addition,the stress distribution,fatigue damage evolution and critical damage regions were also obtained to qualitatively reveal the structural effects and damage mechanisms of the 3DAWC subjected to three-point bending cyclic loading.

GPU-accelerated phase field simulation of directional solidification

The phase field simulation has been actively studied as a powerful method to investigate the microstructural evolution during the solidification.However,it is a great challenge to perform the phase field simulation in large length and time scale.The developed graphics processing unit(GPU)calculation is used in the phase filed simulation,greatly accelerating the calculation efficiency.The results show that the computation with GPU is about 36 times faster than that with a single Central Processing Unit(CPU)core.It provides the feasibility of the GPU-accelerated phase field simulation on a desktop computer.The GPU-accelerated strategy will bring a new opportunity to the application of phase field simulation.
