Physical mechanisms of ductile damage in metal forming, experimental characterization methods for damage, and models predicting the damage level in formed components are reviewed. Applications of ...damage analysis in metal forming processes reveal that damage in metal formed parts is not failure, but a product property that accumulates between processes. Various metal forming process designs demonstrate that damage in formed products can be reduced and their performance can be increased. Static and fatigue strength, impact toughness, stiffness, and formability are typical examples of performance indicators that can be improved by damage-based process design. Potential scientific and technological challenges are addressed to realize damage-controlled metal forming processes.
In this paper, a multi-scale model for AA3104-H19 and AA2024-T3 aluminium alloy with strong cold rolled crystallographic texture is proposed. This model consists of two components: (i) a full-field ...crystal plasticity spectral method using fast Fourier transformation (CPFFT) that can be used to predict anisotropic mechanical properties in both the in and out-of-plane uniaxial and multi-axial stress states and (ii) a 3D new phenomenological anisotropic yield function with enough flexibility to describe the in and out-of-plane mechanical anisotropies of strongly textured aluminium alloy sheet. This multi-scale model was implemented into a commercial finite element (FE) software Abaqus via a user-defined material subroutine UMAT to predict the anisotropic plastic deformation in a multi-step forming process (deep drawing). Results showed that this new modelling approach is able to accurately predict earing profiles with multiple ears in deep drawn cups based on the crystallographic texture information data obtained from orientation density functions (ODFs).
Fracture in metal forming can occur in three different modes: (i) tensile; (ii) in-plane shear; and (iii) out-of-plane shear (respectively the same as modes I, II and III of fracture mechanics). The ...circumstances under which each mode will occur are identified in terms of plastic flow and microstructural ductile damage by means of an analytical framework to characterize fracture loci under plane stress conditions that also takes anisotropy into consideration.
Experimental results retrieved from the literature give support to the presentation and show that plastic flow and failure in sheet forming results from competition between modes I and II whereas in bulk forming fracture results from competition between modes I and III.

Many high temperature (HT) forming processes require the use of solid lubricants in order to control friction and reduce wear. In an attempt to eliminate the need for solid lubrication in high ...temperature sliding applications, nickel-based self-lubricating coatings with the addition of Ag and MoS2 were prepared by means of laser cladding on stainless steel substrates.
The behaviour of the resulting laser claddings was thoroughly evaluated up to 600 °C, including the oxidation behaviour and reciprocating tribotesting using different counter body geometries (ball and flat pin). The self-lubricating coatings showed lower friction than the unmodified reference alloy at all tested temperatures, in addition to a significant microstructural stability after prolonged exposure at high temperatures. The addition of solid lubricants to the claddings was also found to be beneficial in terms of the counter body wear at HT, as no material loss could be measured for the bearing balls after testing at 600 °C against the self-lubricating claddings, despite the significant softening experienced by AISI 52100 bearing steel at HT.
•The encapsulation by sulfur-rich phases prevented silver depletion at HT.•Oxidation tests at 600 °C showed no changes to the cladding 5 Ag – 10 MoS2.•The self-lubricating claddings showed lower friction than the reference alloy.•Changes in tribological behaviour were seen for ball and flat counter bodies.•Tool steel counter bodies led to severe wear for the reference alloy.
This paper presents a constitutive equation for anisotropic inelastic deformation rate applied to sheet metal forming based on recently developed invariants for nonlinear orthotropic ...elastic–inelastic material response. These invariants are based on Eulerian evolution equations for microstructural vectors that characterize directions of anisotropy and elastic deformations which cause stress. These microstructural vectors are used here to model directions of orthotropy for sheet metal forming. This Part I of a two-part paper modifies an anisotropic yield function for sheet metal analysis based on stress components determined by elastic deformations of microstructural vectors. Specific expressions are proposed for the direction of inelastic distortional deformation rate, which automatically satisfies the rate of material dissipation inequality, and for the direction of inelastic spin. The material parameters are calibrated for the aluminum alloy AA6022-T43, steel MP980 sheets and cold rolled low carbon steel sheets. The results of stress anisotropy and R-value distributions are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Part II describes the implementation of this model into a finite element program and presents a comparison of Eulerian and Lagrangian formulations.
•Anisotropic inelastic sheet metal behavior is modeled using microstructural vectors.•Microstructural vectors determine elastic deformations and axes for orthotropic inelastic response.•Hyperelastic constitutive equation for Cauchy stress.•Validation with two materials shows that this model can capture anisotropies of R-value and yield stress.•Inelastic spin can shift R-value curves.
Over the past 15 years, numerous tribological systems for warm and hot aluminium sheet metal forming have been investigated by various researchers. Two previously disregarded aspects will be examined ...in this paper with an enhanced strip drawing test: the temperature influence on friction and wear performance in an extensive comparison of different lubricant classes in tool lubrication and the bonding performance of different lubricants to the die surface. In depth analyses of the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear performance (wear-free draw-in) for nine different lubricants and additionally several different formulations / mixtures were carried out for sheet temperatures from 20 °C to 425 °C. Furthermore, approaches for future lubricant developments are given.
•The flat die strip drawing test resolves detailed lubrication effects of temperature supported sheet metal forming.•Oil-, wax-, polymer- and solid lubricants show distinct behaviours in temperature supported forming of aluminium sheets.•Mixing different lubricant classes can greatly improve overall lubrication performance.•Polymer based bonding agents play a key role in solving tribological challenges of tool lubrication.
Dislocation glide is a general deformation mode, governing the strength of metals. Via discrete dislocation dynamics and molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the strain rate and dislocation ...density dependence of the strength of bulk copper and aluminum single crystals. An analytical relationship between material strength, dislocation density, strain rate and dislocation mobility is proposed, which agrees well with current simulations and published experiments. Results show that material strength displays a decreasing regime (strain rate hardening) and then increasing regime (classical forest hardening) as the dislocation density increases. Accordingly, the strength displays universally, as the strain rate increases, a strain rate-independent regime followed by a strain rate hardening regime. All results are captured by a single scaling function, which relates the scaled strength to a coupling parameter between dislocation density and strain rate. Such coupling parameter also controls the localization of plasticity, fluctuations of dislocation flow and distribution of dislocation velocity.
In this study, the epitaxial laser metal forming(E-LMF) process was used to deposit a nickel-based single crystal superalloy under different cooling conditions, and its microstructure and formation ...mechanism were investigated. The results reveal that an epitaxial microstructure with an almost crack-free is formed under air-cooling, while water-cooling increases the hot crack sensitivity of the deposited due to the thermal stress accumulation. In the case of water-cooling, almost all cracks arise in the overlap zone, with a few cracks appearing in other regions. The element distribution analysis and grain boundary angle analysis show that micro-segregation, as well as high angle grain boundaries, result in typical solidification cracks. In the case of air-cooling, the crystal orientation of the deposited zone is consistent with that of the substrate, although there are some stray grains in the top zone. As the bottom layers are annealed for a longer time than the upper layers, the γ' phase is precipitated more at the bottom than at the top.
•The multi-track nickel-based single crystal superalloy block with an almost crack-free was obtained.•Although water-cooling can maintain the temperature gradient and aids epitaxial growth, it significantly increases the hot crack sensitivity of the nickel-based singlecrystal superalloy block fabricated by the E-LMF process due to excessive thermalstress accumulation.•The microstructure evolution and formation mechanism of the multi-track nickel-based single crystal superalloy block were clarified.
