Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is a promising process for producing medium to large scale metallic parts at a low cost and with a high deposition rate. However, the multitude of process parameters and physical phenomena involved makes it complex and hard to master. Therefore, monitoring the process becomes crucial for unraveling complexities and attaining a more profound comprehension of the intricacies inherent in WAAM, hence ensuring process stability. In order to produce a defect-free part, while keeping a stable process, the operating parameters must be carefully selected. Nonetheless, one of the significant hurdles in WAAM is the variability of the deposited layers height. The accumulation of these geometrical inaccuracies induces instabilities in the process which results into the appearing of defects on the deposited part. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlations between process instabilities and electrical signals obtained by a deposition monitoring system. A monitoring criterion is then extracted from experimental data. Correlation with instabilities will be confirmed using a thermal camera.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"15 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140974061","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}

A non-uniform thickness distribution was found in the formed parts, with a significant reduction of the prepreg thickness at the part bottom radii. Moreover, it was observed that the higher the blank-holder force the higher the forming force and the more significant the prepreg thickness variation.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"2 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140974553","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}

Predicting microstructure morphology evolution under hot forming conditions and determining final material properties are essential for optimizing metal-forming processes. Cellular Automata (CA) is a widely employed full-field method for modeling microstructure morphology changes during various metal-forming processes. However, at higher temperatures and under conditions of substantial microstructure evolution, the CA method encounters limitations related to computational domain geometry changes. The use of random cellular automata (RCA) offers a more realistic representation of this phenomenon, although it requires additional effort in algorithm optimization for acceptable execution times. This paper contributes to an overarching research effort focused on developing a discontinuous dynamic recrystallization model (DRX) by directly incorporating RCA into the finite element (FE) framework. Different mesh sizes and their impact on the quality of the results are analyzed, and the minimum number of elements that do not degrade the results in the CA model are selected. The investigation aims to enhance the practicality of the proposed model, striking a balance between realistic microstructure representation and computational efficiency.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"138 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140977013","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}

This paper presents a data-driven approach to predict the material displacement in open die forging using neural networks. Training data for different process parameters and workpiece geometries is generated using finite element simulations. A neural network architecture is designed that takes the process parameters and the coordinates of a point in the geometry as inputs and outputs the displacement of that point after the deformation. This is systematically implemented for open die forging, using relevant process information. The neural network model is trained and tested on various FEA-simulations for different process parameters and shows good accuracy and generalization. The model is also able to simulate multiple strokes of a single pass in a fast and efficient way. It is demonstrated how the neural network model can enable building a digital material shadow of open die forging processes. The advantages and limitations of the approach are then further discussed.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"142 29","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140976459","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}

In the rapidly evolving landscape of manufacturing and material forming, innovative strategies are imperative for maintaining a competitive edge. Augmented Reality (AR) has emerged as a groundbreaking technology, offering new dimensions in how information is displayed and interacted with. It holds particular promise in the panel of instructional guides for complex machinery, potentially enhance traditional methods of knowledge transfer and operator training. Material forming, a key discipline within mechanical engineering, requires high-precision and skill, making it an ideal candidate for the integration of advanced instructional technologies like AR. This study aims to explore the efficiency of three distinct types of user manuals—video, paper, and augmented reality (AR)—on performance and acceptability in a material forming workshop environment. The focus will be on how AR can be specifically applied to improve task execution and understanding in material forming operations. Participants are mechanical engineering students specializing in material forming. They will engage in a series of standardized tasks related to machining processes. Performance will be gauged by metrics like task completion time and error rates, while task load will be assessed via the NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) [1]. Acceptability of each manual type will be evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) [2]. By comparing these various instructional formats, this research seeks to shed light on the most effective mediums for enhancing both operator performance and experience.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"59 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140973583","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}

This work deals with the modeling of micro-milling processes by considering the phenomena generated by the transition from conventional size to the micro-scale machining. The concomitant effects of different cutting regimes, and the deviation of the cutting edges from their theoretical trajectories due to tool run-out, are important aspects to be considered during the process modeling. Several models are available in literature to describe how ploughing and shearing regimes influence cutting forces and how the tool run-out impacts on the actual chip thickness. In a previous authors research, a comprehensive model was published achieving a good agreement with the experimental data, but its calibration requires the measurement of the width of the micro-milled slots. This practice is time consuming and subjected to experimental errors, while a calibration of the model based only on the elaboration of the cutting force signal appears a promising strategy. Starting from the mathematical description of the geometrical model, a new equation to compute the tool run-out parameters was found. The parameters depend on eight variables that must be calculated from tool geometry, material composition, cutting parameters and the cutting force signal. An experimental procedure was developed to compare the prediction achieved by the new method and the conventional technique.","PeriodicalId":515987,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Proceedings","volume":"7 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140974434","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}

Draping and forming of textile reinforcements are usually performed thanks to finite element models with continuous media assumption.

However, mesoscopic analysis usually leads to expensive computation cost and needs to be optimized to propose a cost-effective response to this problem.

The shrinkage porosities produced during the casting of steel blooms has to be fixed by the subsequent hot rolling process. To design the rolling route, finite element simulations integrating void closure models are necessary. However, these models have to be validated by experimental results. Because experiments under industrial conditions are hardly achievable, experimental simulations at lower scale can be considered. However, the experiment must be designed so as to reproduce industrial like conditions concerning the thermomechanical loading and microstructure with respect to void closure. Among the main parameters driving void closure are the equivalent plastic strain and the mean triaxiality. This paper is dedicated to the design of an experimental simulator of void closure during hot rolling.
