Strain field and extrusion load in ECAE process of bi-metal circular cross section

In this paper the previous velocity field proposed by the authors for the prediction of strain field and deformation load of circular cross section billet in ECAE process has been extended to take into account the deformation behavior of bimetal circular billet in the same process. Accordingly, using Bezier method, as a robust method for determining the geometry of the streamlines, the strain field developed in the circular bimetal billet is calculated. Then, based on the kinematically admissible velocity and strain fields and using the upper bound theorem the ECAE load is predicted. It was found that at constant inner corner angle of ECAE die, with decreasing of outer curve corner the inhemogenity of strain distribution is decreased and the ECAE force is increased. Also, at a constant outer curve corner, by decreasing the inner corner angle, the extrusion load is increased. A good agreement was found between the predicted and experimental results.     

Morphological characterization of nylon‐6 nanocomposite following a large‐scale simple shear process

A commercial grade nylon‐6/clay nanocomposite (from Ube industries) is subjected to a large‐scale simple shear orientation process and the resulting morphology is investigated. Both the orientation and aspect ratio of nanoclays, which can be altered by the simple shear process, are studied. The incorporation of well‐dispersed nanoclays into the nylon matrix greatly reduces the nylon chain mobility as well as the percent crystallinity. Two types of lamellar orientation have been found, as revealed by small‐angle X‐ray scattering. One type of lamellae is oriented ～41° away from the clay surface, whereas the simple shear process induces another weakly preferred lamellar orientation nearly perpendicular to the clay surface. The formation of the above lamellar orientations appears to be related to both orientation of the clay in the nanocomposite and the simple shear process. The possible molecular mechanisms leading to the final morphology of the nylon‐6/clay nanocomposite is discussed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

摩擦系数对钛合金等通道转角挤压影响的有限元分析

以Ti-6Al-4V钛合金高温变形行为研究为基础,建立了等通道转角挤压（ECAE）的三维模型,运用DEFORM-3D有限元分析软件模拟了600 ℃等温条件下不同摩擦系数对Ti-6Al-4V合金ECAE过程中的温度场,等效应力,等效应变以及等效应变率的影响。结果表明：核心高温区以及核心应力区主要集中于转角处;随着摩擦系数增大,核心高温区面积增大,转角入口区的应力也有所增加;点迹跟踪结果表明各点应变均在经过转角处达到最大值,内角点及外角点处的变形较不稳定。     

An Al-rich metallic glass with a large supercooled liquid region

The addition of small amounts (microalloying) of Ti was previously shown to improve glass formation and stability in rapidly quenched Al–Y–Fe alloys. Here, microalloying with V is demonstrated to have an even more dramatic effect on glass stability. Al_85.35Y₈Fe₆V_0.65 exhibits a crystallization-onset temperature (T_x ) of 365°C and a supercooled liquid region (ΔT_x ) of 80°C, the largest currently known for Al-rich metallic glasses. The rapidly quenched oxygenated alloys Al₈₅Y₈Fe₆V_0.65O_0.35 and Al_84.35Y₈Fe₆V_0.65O₁ are also glasses, establishing that the glasses with V have a higher tolerance to oxygen contamination than the alloys prepared with Ti. The partial devitrification of Al_85.35Y₈Fe₆V_0.65 produces an unusual, non-uniform microstructure that suggests an autocatalytic nucleation mechanism.     

A new model for prediction the strain field and extrusion pressure in ECAE process of circular cross section

In this research in order to predict the strain distribution and extrusion load in equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process of circular cross section a new three dimensional kinematically admissible velocity field has been developed based on Bezier formulation. The strain distribution in deformation zone and the effects of various terms on extrusion load were determined. The results were compared both with the experimental and numerically predicted results reported in the literature. It was found that extrusion pressure decreases with increasing both the die angle and the outer curved corner angle and increases with increasing the friction coefficient. Also, it was exhibited that increasing the angle of outer curved corner increases the inhomogeniety of strain field of deformation zone. The predictions were in a good agreement with the FEM and experimental results reported by previous researchers for different die angles and frictional conditions.
