Eutectic crystallization of pro-eutectic alloys under substantial super-cooling is demonstrated to be a complex process, comprising several partial crystallization processes and the synchronous dissolution of crystalline phases: austenite and two metastable carbides, Fe3C and Fe7C3. The kinetics of the eutectic transformation L→L+Fe7C3 in its microscopic and thermal (DSC) imaging has been studied. In general, crystallization proceeds according to the scheme L→L+Fe7C3+γ→L+Fe7C3+γ+Fe3C→ Fe7C3+γ+Fe3C. Consequently, plate-like eutectic (Fe7C3+γ) with an austenite matrix and ledeburite (Fe3C+γ) with a cementite matrix are formed. A schematic diagram of the metastable phase equilibria in the Fe-C system is provided. In the conducted experiments, phase transformations occur in two subsystems: Fe-Fe3C (at low supercooling) and Fe-Fe7C3 (a subsystem of metastable equilibria of the second, higher degree of metastability at large supercooling). This is confirmed by the replacement of the carbide phase and different equilibrate concentrations of austenite in metastable equilibrium with each of the carbides.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139848093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Suranuntchai","doi":"10.4028/p-qme3i9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4028/p-qme3i9","url":null,"abstract":"The forming limit curve (FLC) is commonly used to predict the formability behavior of sheet metal after the forming process. In this research, the forming limit curve generated from the Materials Model was applied to analyze and predict the fracture behavior of the fuel tank workpiece, a motorcycle part made of AA5754-O material, using the deep drawing process simulated by the finite element method. The research involved a comparison with actual cracks that occur in the automotive industry after molding. To determine the mechanical properties of the AA5754-O material for use in the forming limit curve, a specimen with a thickness of 1.5 mm was subjected to a tensile strength test, providing the necessary input for the mechanical properties in the forming limit curve based on the Keeler-Beizer equation. The forming limit curve is a correlation graph between major strain and minor strain. When the FLC is created from the Materials Model, it is utilized in conjunction with deep drawing drag simulation in the PAM-STAMP program to predict the fracture point. The accuracy of the mathematically generated FLC in predicting fracture behavior was verified after the deep drawing process. The study found that the FLC based on the Keeler-Beizer equation can accurately predict the cracking behavior of AA5754-O sheet metal, enabling identification of the fracture location during the deep drawing process. One advantage of creating the FLC from the material models is its compatibility with the same material but with different workpiece shapes, allowing its use in conjunction with molding simulations using various programs. This approach saves costs associated with testing to obtain the FLC.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139847663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relatively ductile Al1Mg0.6Si alloy and high strength Al6Zn2.3Mg alloy comprising brittle eutectic domains were employed for the foams manufacture and then examined in conditions of uniaxial quasi-static compression. It was recognized that mechanical response of the foams and energy absorption is radically defined by the mechanism of cell collapse which, in turn, depends on the nature of structural constituents of the cell wall material. In particular, the presence of brittle eutectic domains in the cell wall material of foam based on Al6Zn2.3Mg alloy results in reducing the compressive strength and energy absorption compared to those of foam processed with Al1Mg0.6Si alloy, both deviate markedly from the theoretical predictions. In spite of this experimental verification of foams cell collapse is considered to be strongly required before their engineering application.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139848875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
