Abstract

In pursuit of newer lightweight components, clad sheets emerge as a solution to meet the demand for automotive and aerospace applications. The present work focuses on the effect of warm forming temperature on the tensile properties, microstructural characteristics, formability, and residual stress of a two-ply clad sheet composed of SS430 and AA1050 layers. Tensile properties of the clad sheet and individual components are determined through testing of laser cut specimens as per standard at ambient and elevated temperatures (220 °C). These tensile properties are used in the material model for prediction of failure in Erichsen cupping experiments through simulations. At 220 °C, the yield and ultimate tensile strengths of clad sheets are found to decrease by approximately 10% and 18%, respectively, but ductility is observed to increase by almost 5%. Electron backscatter diffraction analysis is done to measure and evaluate the microstructural characteristics of the clad material after the tensile deformation at both temperatures. The kernel average misorientations measured from electron backscatter diffraction show that the transition layer retained its integrity during the plastic deformation, whereas the number fraction at peak misorientation values has risen substantially on either side of the transition layer, i.e., on the steel and aluminium layers. The pole figure maps indicate a weak texture of the AA1050 layer, but a stronger texture of the SS430 layer after warm forming than after forming at ambient temperature. The cupping experiments are performed to assess the formability of the clad and individual layers, at two different temperatures. To study the effect of each layer during forming, two possible cases of sheet placements are investigated; i.e., in the first case, the SS430 is on the outer side, and AA1050 is in contact with the punch, whereas in the second case, it is the opposite. The clad sheet shows better formability when the steel layer is on the outer side of the dome. The formability of the clad sheet is observed to increase by 15% at the warm forming temperature. The predicted simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results. In order to investigate the effect of temperature on the residual stress, the variation of stresses was also determined and mapped on the tested samples across the dome after forming at ambient and warm temperatures. The residual stress across the dome of the tested samples after the warm forming is significantly reduced compared to that of the samples tested at room temperature. The favourable tensile properties, microstructural characteristics, and reduced residual stress at elevated temperature indicate better formability of the clad sheet with good bond integrity at warm forming temperature.

不锈钢和铝合金双层复合板成型性的实验和数值研究
在追求新型轻质部件的过程中,覆层板材成为满足汽车和航空航天应用需求的一种解决方案。本研究的重点是热成型温度对由 SS430 和 AA1050 层组成的双层复合板的拉伸性能、微观结构特征、成型性和残余应力的影响。通过在环境温度和高温(220 °C)下按标准对激光切割试样进行测试,确定了覆层板和单个组件的拉伸性能。这些拉伸性能被用于材料模型,通过模拟来预测艾瑞克森杯突实验中的失效。在 220 °C 时,发现覆层板的屈服强度和极限拉伸强度分别降低了约 10% 和 18%,但延展性却增加了近 5%。电子反向散射衍射分析用于测量和评估两种温度下拉伸变形后覆层材料的微观结构特征。从电子反向散射衍射测得的核平均错向显示,过渡层在塑性变形过程中保持了完整性,而在过渡层的两侧,即钢层和铝层,错向峰值的数量分数大幅上升。极坐标图显示 AA1050 层的纹理较弱,而 SS430 层在热成型后的纹理比在环境温度下成型后更强。杯突实验是为了评估包层和单个层在两种不同温度下的成型性。为了研究成形过程中各层的影响,研究了两种可能的板材放置情况,即第一种情况下,SS430 位于外侧,AA1050 与冲头接触,而第二种情况则相反。当钢层位于圆顶外侧时,覆层板的成形性更好。据观察,在热成型温度下,覆层钢板的成型性提高了 15%。预测的模拟结果与实验结果十分吻合。为了研究温度对残余应力的影响,还测定并绘制了测试样品在常温和暖成型温度下成型后整个圆顶的应力变化图。与室温下测试的样品相比,温成型后测试样品圆顶上的残余应力明显减小。高温下良好的拉伸性能、微观结构特征和减少的残余应力表明,覆层板在温成型温度下具有更好的成型性和良好的结合完整性。
