The Analysis of the Impact Relative Rolling Reduction at the Area Connector Bimetallic Plate after the Rolling Process

As part of this work the analysis of the impact relative rolling reduction at the connection area of bimetallic plate after the rolling process was carried out. The rolling process was conducted on samples that have been joined by explosive welding method [1-. The scheme of joining bimetallic plates with use of explosive welding method is shown in fig. 1 [. Geometric and structural design of explosively welded connections depends on the type of welded metal, welding process parameters and the thickness of welded components, the geometry of collision, the type of substrate and surface preparation. Regardless of the type of welded metal, there are three basic types of connections obtained with different parameters of welded plates: flat connections without an intermediate layer of the symmetric deformation of grains, wavy connections and the last one with continuous intermediate layer. This paper presents the analysis of sheet metal connection area after direct double-layer combining by explosive welding method and the next stage of their production - the rolling process. Bimetal plates Al99.8-M1E were rolled with relative rolling reduction ε = 10%, 15% and 20%. The analysis of structural changes was made for both kinds of the samples: after the direct connection and after the annealing operations. In addition to analyzing the results of optical microscopy to present a complete picture of changes in the joints the Vickers micro hardness testing were carried out. Fig. 1.

Formability of Explosive Welded Mg/Al Bimetallic Bar

The paper presents the results of physical modelling of the plastic deformation of the Mg/Al bimetallic specimens using the Gleeble 3800 simulator. The plastic deformation of Mg/Al bimetal specimens characterized by the diameter to thickness ratio equal to 1 was tested in compression tests. The aim of this work was determination of the range of parameters as temperature and strain rate that mainly influence on the plastic deformation of Mg/Al bars during metal forming processes. The tests were carried out for temperature range from 300 to 400°C for different strain rate values. The stock was round 22.5 mm-diameter with an Al layer share of 28% Mg/Al bars that had been produced using the explosive welding method. Based on the analysis of the obtained testing results it has been found that one of the main process parameters influencing the plastic deformation the bimetal components is the initial stock temperature and strain rate values.

Influence of the Deformation Method on the Microstructure Changes in AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Round Rods Obtained by the Rolling Process

This paper presents the research results of the microstructure changes of the round rods of AZ31 magnesium alloy in the hot rolling processes. The rolling was conducted in duo mill and a three-high skew rolling mill. Numerical modelling of the AZ31 magnesium alloy round rods rolling process was conducted using a computer program Forge 2011®. The verification of the results of numerical modelling was carried out during laboratory tests in a two-high rolling mill D150 and a three-high skew rolling mill RSP 40/14. Distributions of the total effective strain and temperature during AZ31 rods rolling process were determined on the basis of the theoretical analysis. Microstructure and texture changes during both analysed processes were studied.

Structure Analysis of Magnesium Alloy (AZ31) Wires at Different Stages of a Multistage Cold Drawing Process

The formability of magnesium alloys is the subject of efforts undertaken in many research centers due to their outstanding mechanical, plastic, and above all, physical properties. For this reason, magnesium alloys have become an important material which finds broad possibilities for application in many industries: automotive, electronics, aerospace and so on.The paper presents an analysis of changes in structure of AZ31 magnesium alloy wire cold-deformed in the drawing process using interoperate heat treatment. Microstructure observations of the wire by means of optical microscopy were performed in initial state, after each drawing process, and before and after heat treatment. The studies regarding the impact of selected variants of deformation on microstructure were also carried out at the scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Effect of Thermo-Mechanical Treatment on Mechanical Properties of AlCuMg Alloys

Technology development and new grades of alloys creation put before construction materials the number of requirements in range of durability and reliability of created constructions. Receivers expect materials with high strength properties, low production cost of the finished product, availability, corrosion resistance and low specific gravity. So the specific needs of customers mean that studies are constantly associated with the exploration of new materials and technologies that could meet made requirements [1,2,. In large scale this demand is met through the use of non-ferrous metals and their alloys. Selection of appropriate manufacturing techniques and the use of heat treatment procedures allow to obtain materials with better mechanical properties. Here the leading role has the aluminium and its alloys. Due to specific mechanical properties aluminium based materials are used in almost each field of industry. In aircraft industry they are used for the manufacture of fuselage elements in automobile industry the light alloys are used to make cylinder blocks, and other elements of internal combustion engines. In the construction industry they are used to manufacture windows and doors, as well as beautiful self-supporting lightweight facades. While the aluminium alloy products such as films or cans are also used in the food industry. The combination of physico-chemical and mechanical properties of aluminium alloys makes them the optimal solution for innovative design, thanks to them engineers can provide high strength associated with very low gravity. This allows to minimize the costs of subsequent use of the product, and while achieving good strength parameters. As part of this work the analysis of strain rate and temperature impact on mechanical properties of the tested alloy will be carried out. The experimental studies conducted in the temperature range of recrystallization (test temperature: 400°C, 450°C, 480°C, 500°C) using two strain rates 1 s-1 and 0,1 s-1. This paper present the analysis of the application of high-temperature deformation changes in structure mainly caused by the dynamic recrystallization processes, which determine the optimal parameters of AlCuMg deformation process [. The proposed methodology of the research work made it possible to determine the effect of temperature-velocity parameters to changes in mechanical properties (inter alia: microhardness measurements) and changes in the structure of the material, which are closely related to the level achieved in mechanical properties.

Most of the industry oriented research and development is based on conventional casting alloys Al-Si. This paper presents the results of deformation the hypoeutectic AlSi7Mg alloy used to manufacturing pistons for combustion engines. This is the material about high plasticity and corrosion resistance. For the research it was produced by semi-continuous casting process with magnetohydrodynamic stirring in crystalliser (MHD) and in conventional casting way. The results of deformation resistance of both materials have been described.
