基于变温度场的镍钛形状记忆合金管滚珠旋压有限元模拟(英文)

作为一种新的尝试,在高温下应用滚珠旋压制造镍钛形状记忆合金管。将名义成分为Ni50.9Ti49.1(摩尔分数)的镍钛形状记忆合金棒料进行固溶处理,制成用于滚珠旋压的镍钛形状记忆合金管坯。以变温度场和本构方程为基础,用刚粘塑性有限元法来模拟镍钛形状记忆合金管的滚珠旋压,获得了温度场、应力场和应变场,并进行了旋压载荷预测。有限元模拟结果表明,在旋压件的主变形区有大约160℃的温升。从应力场和应变场可以看出,镍钛形状记忆合金管的外壁比内壁更容易满足塑性屈服准则,塑性变形区处于三向压应力状态。径向应变和切向应变为压缩应变,轴向应变为伸长应变。旋压载荷伴随滚珠旋压行程的变化对于预测旋压件的稳定流动具有重要的意义。

Finite element simulation of ball spinning of NiTi shape memory alloy tube based on variable temperature field

As a new attempt, ball spinning was used to manufacture the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (NiTi SMA) tube at elevated temperature. The NiTi bar with a nominal composition of Ni_50.9Ti_49.1 (mole fraction, %) was solution treated and was used as the original tube blank for ball spinning. Based on the variable temperature field and the constitutive equation, rigid-viscoplastic finite element method (FEM) was applied in order to simulate the ball spinning of NiTi SMA tube. The temperature field, the stress field, the strain field and the load prediction were obtained by means of FEM. FEM results reveal that there is a temperature increase of about 160 °C in the principal deformation zone of the spun part. It can be found from the stress fields and the strain fields that the outer wall of NiTi SMA tube is easier to meet the plastic yield criterion than the inner wall, and the plastic deformation zone is caused to be in a three-dimensional compressive stress state. The radial strain and the tangential strain are characterized by the compressive strain, while the axial strain belongs to the tensile strain. The variation of spinning loads with the progression of the ball is of great importance in predicting the stable flow of the spun part.
