Characterization of Microstructure,Mechanical Properties and Formability of Cryorolled AA5083 Alloy Sheets

In this work, microstructure, mechanical properties and formability of cryorolled and annealed AA5083 alloy sheets have been characterized and a comparison has been made with cold rolled and annealed sheets. Five-millimeter-thick sheets of this alloy were cryorolled in multiple passes to a final thickness of 1 mm (80% reduction with a true strain of 1.6). Effect of annealing time and temperature on hardness has been studied, and it has been found that a short annealing at 275 °C for 15 min after cryorolling would yield a good combination of strength and ductility. Microstructural investigations showed that the cryorolled and short annealed samples possess bimodal grain structure which is responsible for better mechanical properties than cold rolled sheets. From the experimentally determined forming limit diagrams, the limit strains of cryorolled sheets have been found to be almost equal to conventional cold rolled and annealed sheets in all modes of deformation. No major differences have been found in strain distribution also. This work clearly demonstrates that cryorolling of AA5083 alloy sheets followed by a short annealing with bimodal grain structure can be used for sheet metal forming applications with higher strength and toughness than conventional sheets without any reduction in formability.     

Microstructure,texture and grain boundaries character distribution evolution of ferritic stainless steel during rolling process

In order to better understand the texture, microstructure and grain boundaries character distribution evolution of ferritic stainless steel, the texture, microstructure and grain boundaries character distribution of ferritic stainless steel (hot rolled sheet, cold rolled sheet and annealing sheet) with 11 wt%Cr content were studied using X-ray diffraction and electron back scattered diffraction technique. The texture of the hot and cold rolled sheets has a through-thickness texture gradient. In the center layer of the hot and cold rolling sheet, α-fiber texture was observed which was attributed to ideal plane strain deformation. Close to the surface a Gross orientation was detected which was attributed to shear deformation. During annealing, the γ-fiber was formed attributed to recrystallization process. The microstructure of the hot and cold rolled sheets was non-homogeneous through the sheet thickness, while, the microstructure of annealing sheets was homogeneous through the sheet thickness. Grain boundaries character distribution results show that there are many low angle grain boundaries in hot and cold rolled sheets and many high angle grain boundaries and coincidence site lattice after annealing. The above results indicated that the changes in texture are closely related to the grain boundaries type.     

Comparison of formability of friction stir welded and laser welded dual phase 590 steel sheets

Abstract

The formability of welded dual phase 590 (DP 590) steel sheets was investigated, using both friction stir welding and laser welding. Similar and dissimilar gauge sheets were joined using both processes. The laser welded sheets were produced under process conditions typical of industrial production of tailor welded blanks. The friction stir welded specimens were produced in a lab, where different tool rotational speeds and translation speeds were investigated in order to obtain good weld properties. The formability of the welded sheets was evaluated using a series of mechanical tests, including transverse tension and plane strain formability testing. Friction stir welded specimens performed about the same as laser welded specimens in transverse tension testing; however, hardness profiles showed that the laser welds had greater peak hardness than the friction stir welds. Therefore plane strain formability tests were performed with the welds oriented along the major strain direction. When this type of weld stretching was performed the friction stir welded sheets were shown to be ～20% more formable than the laser welded sheets.     

Non-destructive evaluation of formability of zinc-coated steel sheets using electromagnetic acoustic transducer

An ultrasonic technique for evaluation of the formability of zinc-coated steel sheets has been developed. The technique is based on the dispersion relation, which correlates the velocity anisotropy of the S₀-mode Lamb wave to the texture defined by orientation distribution coefficients. In cold rolled steel sheets, we have already developed the evaluation system and installed it on two continuous annealing production lines. In this paper, we describe how to remove the effect of the zinc-coated layer from the measured velocity and the evaluation results of the formability for zinc-coated steel sheets. The coating induced a decrease in the S₀-mode Lamb wave velocity. The change in ultrasonic velocity due to the zinc-coated layer has been shown to be compensated by using a simple correction curve, which enables the correction for the effect of zinc coating from the known coating/substrate thickness ratio. The test results indicate that the monitoring of the formability for zinc-coated steel sheets as well as for cold rolled steel sheets is quite feasible.     

Experimental and numerical analysis of multilayered steel sheets upon bending

In this study, the bending formability of multilayered steel sheets is evaluated by tensile tests, V-bending tests, and hemming tests. Enhanced formability was observed in these experiments, namely, the constituent high-strength materials were elongated beyond the original fracture strain limit. As a result of this effect, multilayered steel sheets were successfully formed in V-bending tests and even in hemming tests. Observations using a scanning electron microscope verified that no delamination occurred at interfaces. To represent the geometrical features of a multilayered steel sheet, a solid-element model under an isostrain condition was utilized in finite element modeling, where the rule of mixtures was adopted to obtain the flow curve of the constituent high-strength material, and a good agreement with experimental results was observed. Analyses using this finite element model were conducted to investigate the effect of the geometry on the springback of multilayered steel sheets undergoing V-bending.

Tribological testing of commercial CrN, (Ti,Al)N and CrC/C PVD coatings — Evaluation of galling and wear characteristics against different high strength steels

The increasing use of high strength steels in a variety of mechanical engineering applications has illuminated problems associated with galling in sheet metal forming operations. Galling is a tribological phenomenon associated with transfer of material from the steel sheet to the tool surface during forming resulting in seizure of the tool/steel sheet contact and extensive scratching of the steel sheet surface. As a result, a number of concepts have been developed in order to reduce the tendency of galling in sheet metal forming, including the development of new dry lubricants, new forming tool steel grades and improved surface engineering treatments such as the deposition of low friction CVD- and PVD-coatings. In the present study the potential performance of three commercial PVD coatings, including CrN, (Ti,Al)N and a CrC/C DLC-based coating, in the forming of hot and cold rolled high strength steel as well as electro and hot-dip galvanized high strength steel has been evaluated using pin-on-disc testing under lubricated contact conditions. Post-test examination of the tribosurfaces using FEG-SEM and EDS analyses was performed in order to evaluate the mechanisms controlling the tendency to material transfer and wear. The results show that in contact with the hot and cold rolled steel the material pick-up tendency of the PVD coatings tend to increase in the order CrC/C-CrN-(Ti,Al)N while in contact with the two galvanized steel sheets, the CrC/C and the (Ti,Al)N coating show a significantly lower material pick-up tendency as compared with the CrN coating. Further, the substrate hardness has a strong influence on the wear of the PVD coatings and consequently on the friction characteristics and galling tendency of the coating/substrate composite. Low substrate hardness, resulting in a low load bearing capacity, increases the tendency to cracking and subsequently chipping of the brittle coating.

Warm and Hot Stamping of Ultra High Tensile Strength Steel Sheets Using Resistance Heating

A warm and hot stamping process of ultra high tensile strength steel sheets using resistance heating was developed to improve springback and formability. In this process, the decrease in temperature of the sheet before the forming is prevented by directly heating the sheets set into the dies by means of the electrical resistance, the so-called Joule heat. Since the heating time up to 800°C is only 2 seconds, the resistance heating is rapid enough to synchronise with a press. The effects of the heating temperature on the springback and formability of ultra high tensile strength steel sheets were examined. The springback in hat-shaped bending of the high tensile strength steel sheets was eliminated by heating the sheet. In addition, the ultra sheet having a tensile strength of 980MPa was successfully drawn by the heating. The heating temperature is optimum around 600°C due to the small springback and oxidation and the increase in hardness.     

Effect of Hot Rolling Process on Microstructure and Properties of Low-Carbon Al-Killed Steels Produced Through TSCR Technology

Low-carbon Al-killed hot rolled strips for direct forming, cold rolling, and galvanizing applications are produced from the similar chemistry at Ezz Flat Steel (EFS) through thin slab casting and rolling (TSCR) technology. The desired mechanical and microstructural properties in hot bands for different applications are achieved through control of hot rolling parameters, which in turn control the precipitation and growth of AlN. Nitrogen in solid solution strongly influences the yield strength (YS), ductility, strain aging index (SAI), and other formability properties of steel. The equilibrium solubility of AlN in austenite at different temperatures and its isothermal precipitation have been studied. To achieve the formability properties for direct forming, soluble nitrogen is fixed as AlN by coiling the strip at higher temperatures. For stringent cold forming, boron was added below the stoichiometric ratio with nitrogen, which improved the formability properties dramatically. The requirements of hot band for processing into cold rolled and annealed deep drawing sheets are high SAI and fine-grain microstructure. Higher finish rolling and low coiling temperatures are used to achieve these. Fully processed cold rolled sheets from these hot strips at customer’s end have shown good formability properties. Coil break marks observed in some coils during uncoiling were found to be associated with yielding phenomenon. The spike height (difference between upper and lower yield stresses) and yield point elongation (YPE) were found to be the key material parameters for the break marks. Factors affecting these parameters have been studied and the coiling temperature optimized to overcome the problem.     

Texture and mechanical properties of Al-0.5Mg-1.0Si-0.5Cu alloy sheets manufactured via a cross rolling method

The relationship between the texture and mechanical properties of 6xxx aluminum alloy sheets processed via cross rolling was investigated. The microstructures of the conventional rolled and cross rolled sheets after annealing were analyzed using optical micrographs (OM). The texture distribution across the thickness in the Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy, conventional rolled sheets, and cross rolled sheets both before and after annealing was investigated via X-ray texture measurements. The texture was analyzed in three layers from the surface to the center of the sheet. The β-fiber texture of the conventional rolled sheet was typical of the texture obtained using aluminumoll ring. After annealing, the typical β-fiber orientations were changed to recrystallization textures: cube{001}〈100〉 and normal direction (ND)-rotated cubes. However, the texture of the cross rolled sheet was composed of an asymmetrical, rolling direction (RD)-rotated cubes. After annealing, the asymmetrical orientations in the cross rolled sheet were changed to a randomized texture. The average R-value of the annealed cross rolled sheets was higher than that of the conventional rolled sheets. The limit dome height (LDH) test results demonstrated that cross rolling is effective in improving the formability of the Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy sheets.     

Influence of anisotropy of the magnesium alloy AZ31 sheets on warm negative incremental forming

Single point incremental forming of the magnesium alloy AZ31 sheets, which were fabricated by hot extrusion, slab + hot/cold rolling, strip-casting rolling and cross-rolling, respectively, was investigated at elevated temperatures. The results show that the anisotropy of the sheets fabricated by casting slab + hot/cold rolling and cross-rolling is not remarkable, and the formability is improved significantly. The circular, square and rotary cone parts were performed with satisfactory surface quality and without any microcracks successfully, and which is superior to those of the extruded sheet and the one-way rolled sheet. Therefore, anisotropy of the sheets has remarkable effects on the surface quality of the formed parts, and the effect becomes weakened with increasing temperature. It is proposed that cross-rolling sheet is much more suitable for warm SPIF process.

Studies on hot rolled galvanized steel sheets: Effect of reheating on galvanizing

Galvanized hot rolled steel sheets are inferior to cold rolled sheets because of the segregation of carbides at the surface/sub-surface region. In order to change the distribution of the carbides at the surface/sub-surface region, continuous annealing/reheating operation is carried out at different temperatures prior to the galvanizing operation. The reheating temperature maintained in continuous annealing line is the main factor which redistributes the carbides at the surface/sub-surface region. At intercritical annealing temperature all the carbides get dissolved into the matrix and the surface became suitable for galvanizing reaction. The reducing atmosphere also plays an important role to remove all the room temperature oxides present at the surface. Thus, a combination of proper temperature and reducing atmosphere leads to the proper galvanizing on the hot rolled steel surface.

Improvement of the drawability based on the surface friction stir process of AA5052-H32 automotive sheets

Based on the imperative social demand for lighter vehicles, lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys are expected to replace conventional steels in many automotive applications. In automotive parts manufacturing, most of the components produced in conventional stamping operations are geometrically complex as the blanks are subjected to both stretching and drawing deformations. However, aluminum alloys have intrinsic drawbacks, such as the inferior formability of these materials, although the effects of the weight reduction in terms of performance are highly promising. In an effort to improve the formability of aluminum alloy sheets, the surface friction stir process is proposed in this study. This process locally modifies the surface of automotive aluminum alloy sheets via stirring and advancing on the surface of the sheet, similar to the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process that utilizes a probe without a pin. When the surface of the sheet is modified locally by stirring, dynamic recrystallization due to the severe shear deformation along with heat resulting from the friction occur due to changes in the micro-structure and mechanical properties in the stirred zone, while the dislocation density and grain size refinement are curtailed. In this work, the drawability performance of AA5052-H32 sheets (thickness 1.5 mm) that were welded using the surface friction stir process was experimentally and numerically investigated in cylindrical cup drawing tests. When applied to AA5052-H32 automotive sheets, the surface friction stir process improved the drawability of the entire aluminum alloy sheet. For numerical simulations, the non-quadratic anisotropic yield function Yld2000-2d was employed along with isotropic hardening, while the formability was evaluated by utilizing theoretical forming limit diagrams (FLD) based on Hill's bifurcation and M-K theories.

304不锈钢冷轧板表面短线状剥落缺陷分析

针对304不锈钢冷轧板表面出现的短线状剥落缺陷,利用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜观察其形貌,利用能谱仪对局部成分进行了点扫描和面扫描检测。结果表明,304冷轧板表面短线状剥落缺陷微观形貌呈“凹槽”状,凹槽边部与正常表面结合部位呈分层台阶式结构,凹槽边缘存在铁和铬的氧化物。结合试验结果和相关研究分析推断,短线状剥落缺陷主要是由于铸坯三角区中铬偏析造成局部铁素体含量过高,热轧变形过程中产生局部微裂纹发生氧化,氧化膜在冷轧过程中被压延变形,经酸洗后部分覆盖在氧化膜上的基体剥落而形成。
