Abstract
To effectively predict the deformation behavior of AZ31B magnesium alloy (Mg alloy) in plastic forming assisted by pulse current, the influences of different pulse currents’ frequencies on the flow stress of Mg alloy were studied. The Voce and Hockett-Sherby constitutive models were modified to include the influence of frequencies, and the parameters of the constitutive models were calibrated based on the experimental data. The Cazacu 2004 yield criterion was improved to describe the yield behavior under the action of pulse current, in which the tensile-compressive asymmetry keeps changing with the increase of plastic strain. The three-point bending tests of AZ31B Mg alloy assisted by different frequency pulse currents were carried out. The improved constitutive model and yield criterion were embedded in ABAQUS using user material subroutine VUMAT for the corresponding three-point bending simulation. It is found that the improved constitutive model and yield criterion considering the current frequencies and tensile-compressive asymmetry can obviously improve the simulation accuracy.
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material.
The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations.
All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.
