Effects of four factors namely, pulse on time (T<sub>on</sub>), peak current (Ip), wire offset (WO) and rough-cut history (RCH) have been investigated on response characteristics namely, material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness (SR) and Recast layer (RL) thickness; using Box-Behnken design (BBD) for the experimentation. Three levels of RCH i.e., high, medium and low have been included to investigate the effectiveness of trim cut strategy for dealing with rough-cut surface under varied conditions. The optimized parametric setting has been obtained for multiple responses using desirability function. RCH is found to be most significant factor for MRR, while pulse on time (T<sub>on</sub>) is found most significant for SR and RL. WO has been found to play an important role in controlling the thickness of RL. It is observed that after trim cut, surface roughness is improved for experiments conducted under high and medium levels of RCH. However, almost no improvement in SR is obtained for low level of RCH.

However, for aluminium alloys like AA6082 under high-temperature and large-deformation conditions, the shiny effects observed in the gauge area degrade the quality of the captured deformation images, leading to failures in the DIC analyses. In this study, the source of the shiny effects was investigated by analysing the evolution of AA6082 specimen surfaces painted with speckle patterns during hot stamping deformation. It was found that the shiny effects were attributed to the exposure of the reflective base material due to paint peeling and cracking. To overcome these problems, the DIC method was improved by developing a novel procedure for generating more effective speckle patterns and utilising a cross-polarisation optical system (XPOL) to mitigate the shiny effects. The improved DIC method was applied to AA6082 in both uniaxial and biaxial tensile tests under diverse hot stamping conditions, along with applications to boron steel for comparison. These improvements significantly reduced the shiny effects and increased the time over which full-field strains can be measured for AA6082, reaching over 96% (up from 75%) of the fracture time in the uniaxial tests and even 100% in the biaxial tests. The improved DIC method enables the full-field strain measurement for aluminium alloys under hot stamping conditions, allowing for the accurate determination of their thermomechanical properties.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52306,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Lightweight Materials and Manufacture","volume":"7 3","pages":"Pages 438-449"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2588840424000076/pdfft?md5=4b40de1d6d1b97e593053badd7ef5358&pid=1-s2.0-S2588840424000076-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139455744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
