Previous issue date: 2014-08-26 / The beverage metal packaging industry figures as one of the most important worldwide aluminum consumer. A detailed knowledge of the raw material used in the beverage can body
production is essential to maintain and improve the productivity levels imposed by the market. It is on this point that the present work focus, in the micro structural and mechanical
characterization of three different AA 3104-H19 rolled coils, to be able to compare them in search of similarities and discrepancies. Their chemical compositions were analyzed by energy dispersion (EDS), and atomic absorption (AA) spectrometry, their micro structures were identified by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Their mechanical properties were described by tensile tests, Erichsen tests, forming limit curves (FLC), micro
hardness Vickers tests, and surface roughness tests (Ra). The anisotropy coefficient R, also known as Lankford´s R, and the strain hardening exponent n were calculated using the results
and specimens of the tensile tests. In addition, their crystallographic textures were analyzed by orientation distribution functions and pole figures. The experiment s results showed a strong similarity among all three rolled sheets, their properties differing only subtly. On average the yield strength of all three was found to be 265 MPa, their ultimate tensile strength
285 MPa. Elongation was very similar for all three, around 4.7%. The strain hardening exponent n averaged 0.078, a value comparable to some found in literature. The normal (R)
and planar (UR) anisotropy values were found to be 0.77 and 0.22, respectively, indicating a slight tendency to form ears at 45o and good deep drawing formability. The microstructure
analysis of all three sheets revealed two kinds of intermetallic compounds with distinct morphology, Al6(Fe,Mn) and Al12(Fe,Mn)3Si, not scattered homogeneously, together with
well distributed dispersoids in the aluminum matrix. The crystallographic texture of the three sheets also exhibited similarities; all had the same dominant components with comparable intensities. On all three it was possible to notice that the typical strain hardening textures, Brass {110}<112> and Copper {112}<111>, together with Goss {110}<001>, were balanced by the Cube {001}<100> component, typical of recrystallization. The notable differences found could be summarized in slightly higher mechanical properties for one of the sheets and smaller and less widespread intermetallic compounds for another. / A indústria de embalagens metálicas para bebidas se destaca como uma das mais importantes no consumo mundial de alumínio. O conhecimento detalhado da matéria prima utilizada para
a produção de latas para bebidas é essencial para manter e melhorar os níveis de produtividade impostos pelo mercado. O foco do presente trabalho encontra-se na caracterização microestrutural e mecânica de três diferentes laminados da liga de alumínio 3104-H19, a fim de compará-los em busca de similaridades e discrepâncias. As suas composições químicas foram avaliadas através de espectroscopia de dispersão de energia (EDS-MEV) e de absorção atômica (AA). Suas microestruturas foram analisadas através de microscopia óptica e microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Suas propriedades mecânicas foram apuradas pelo uso de ensaios de tração uniaxiais, ensaios Erichsen, curvas limite de conformação (CLC), microdureza Vickers, e rugosidade (Ra). O coeficiente de anisotropia, R de Lankford, e o expoente de encruamento (n), foram calculados através dos resultados dos ensaios de caracterização mecânica.Em adição, uma análise da textura cristalográfica dos laminados foi realizada através do uso de funções de distribuição de orientação e figuras de polo. Os resultados demostraram semelhança entre os três laminados, suas propriedades e características diferindo apenas sutilmente. Na média o limite de escoamento dos três ficou em 265 MPa e o limite de resistência a tração em 285 MPa. Os alongamentos percentuais ficaram todos ao redor de 4,7%. O expoente de encruamento n ficou na média em 0,078, valor próximo a alguns encontrados na literatura. Os índices de anisotropia normal (R) e planar (UR) ficaram próximos a 0,77 e -0,22, respectivamente, indicando uma leve tendência ao orelhamento a 45º e boa conformabilidade em repuxo profundo. A análise microestrutural dos três laminados revelou dois tipos de compostos intermetálicos com morfologia distinta, Al6(Fe,Mn) e Al12(Fe,Mn)3Si, espalhados não homogeneamente, junto à dispersoides bem distribuídos na matriz de alumínio. A textura cristalográfica dos três laminados também exibiu similitudes, todas com as mesmas componentes dominantes em intensidades parecidas. Nos três notou-se que a textura típica de deformação para ligas de alumínio, latão {110}<112> e cobre {112}<111>, junto a textura Goss {110}<001>, estavam balanceadas
pela textura cubo {001}<100>, típica de recristalização. As diferenças encontradas resumiram-se a propriedades mecânicas sutilmente superiores em um dos laminados e compostos intermetálicos menores e em menor volume em outro.

Effects of nanoparticles on the microstructure and crystallographic texture evolution of two Aluminium-based alloys / Effets des nanoparticules sur l'évolution de la microstructure et de la texture cristallographique des deux alliages à base d'AluminiumDan, Chengyi 03 July 2019 (has links)
Les effets des nanoparticules (cisaillables et non-cisaillables) sur l’évolution microstructurale et l'évolution de la texture cristallographique des deux alliages à base d’aluminium après laminage à froid ont été étudiés dans cette thèse. Un alliage Al-Sc contenant des nanoparticules cisaillables de Al3Sc et un composite Al-TiB2 contenant des nanoparticules non-cisaillables TiB2 sont étudiés. La microscopie électronique en transmission (MET), la diffraction d'électrons rétrodiffusés (EBSD) et l’analyse de la texture par la diffraction de neutrons sont utilisées pour caractériser le développement de la microstructure et la texture cristallographique lors du laminage à froid des 2 alliages.La restauration dynamique pendant laminage a été inhibée dans la matrice contenant des Al3Sc nanoparticules cisaillables et TiB2 non-cisaillables. Par conséquent, peu de cellules de dislocation ont été générées dans la matrice, ce qui limite la diminution de la taille des grains.Le développement de la texture de laminage est retardé par les nanoparticules cisaillables ou les particules non-cisaillables. Des bandes d’orientation de cube résiduelles se trouvent dans les matériaux contenant des particules cisaillables dans une matrice très déformée en raison de la limitation du glissement croisé. La réduction de la proption volumique des composantes de texture du laminage se produit dans les matériaux contenant de grandes particules non-cisaillables (de l’ordre d’un micromètre) en raison de la recristallisation dans les PDZs (Particle Deformation Zones), ce qui contribue également à la diminution des grains.De plus, le cisaillement de nanoparticules favorise le glissades en plan, ce qui conduit à une forte localisation des déformations et à l'apparition de bandes de cisaillement. La génération de bandes de cisaillement dépend de l'orientation et est dû au changement soudain des chemins de déformation et et de l'inhibition de la récupération dynamique. Les nanoparticules non cisaillables ont probablement pivoté avec la matrice environnante, ce qui pourrait constituer un nouveau mécanisme de déformation. / The effects of shearable and non-shearable nanoparticles on the microstructure and crystallographic texture evolution of two Al-based alloys after cold rolling have been studied in this thesis. An Al-Sc alloy containing shearable Al3Sc nanoprecipitates and Al-TiB2 composite containing non-shearable TiB2 nanoparticles are investigated, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and neutron diffraction texture analysis are employed to characterize the microstructure and texture development of the two alloys during cold rolling.Dynamic recovery has been inhibited in the matrix containing both shearable (Al3Sc) and non-shearable (TiB2) nanoparticles due to the pinning effects. Hence, few dislocation cells are generated in these matrices that impedes the grain refinement.The development of rolling texture is retarded by either shearable nanoprecipitates or non-shearbale particles. Obvious residual Cube orientation bands are found in materials containing shearable precipitates at the deformed states due to the limitation of cross-slip. Volume reduction of rolling texture components occurs in materials containing large non-shearable particles (about 1 micrometer) due to the recrystallization at PDZs (Particle Deformation Zones), which contributes to grain refinement.In addition, the shearing of nanoprecipitates promotes planar slip leading to strong strain localization and the occurrence of shearbands. The generation of shearbands is orientation dependent and results from the sudden change of deformation paths and inhibition of dynamic recovery. The non-shearable nanoparticles probably have rotated together with the surrounding matrix, which could be a new deformation mechanism.

Processing Aluminum Oxide for the Control of Microstructural Texture and Optical PropertiesAndrew P Schlup (8791136) 01 May 2020 (has links)
Transparent polycrystalline aluminum oxide is a promising optical material, particularly in applications that require ballistic protection. However, the rhombohedral crystal structure of alumina limits its transparency due to birefringent scattering. One method of reducing birefringent scattering is to align the particles along the same crystallographic direction, minimizing the refractive index mismatch. This dissertation explores the use of high aspect-ratio platelet-morphology alumina powder in order to process a crystallographically aligned polycrystalline alumina part, with improved optical properties. The optimal hot-pressing parameters of non-pre-aligned platelet alumina were explored, showing that a low pre-load pressure (0MPa), a high maximum temperature (1800°C), a low maximum pressure (10MPa), and a long isothermal hold time (>5hrs) yields dense, transparent parts. These parameters resulted in samples with a high in-line transmission (>65%) despite a large grain size (>60μm). This is due to a high degree of crystallographic orientation, which minimizes the refractive index mismatch between grains, reducing birefringent scattering. Pre-alignment resulted in a further increase in crystallographic orientation, indicating that the pre-alignment procedure effectively aligns the platelets along the same crystallographic orientation. However, pre-alignment resulted in a minimal improvement in optical properties due to the pre-aligned platelets decreasing the densification. Mechanical properties were characterized, resulting in a flexure stress and Vickers hardness of approximately 175MPa and 17GPa, respectively. These low mechanical properties are due to the large grain size. The Vickers hardness was also characterized along different alignment/hot-pressing directions, showing that the hardness matches that of sapphire along corresponding crystallographic directions. Modifications to the Rayleigh-Gans-Debye model were made, accounting for crystallographic orientation. The modified model more closely matches the experimental optical data, illustrating the importance of accounting for crystallographic alignment. This dissertation emphasizes the importance of characterizing optical losses in transparent ceramics and how they relate to the microstructure, as well as the significance of crystallographic alignment in a birefringent transparent ceramic like alumina.

HIGH-RESISTIVITY ELECTRICAL STEEL THIN STRIP BY HYBRID DEFORMATION PROCESSINGBrhayan Stiven Puentes Rodriquez (13148703) 25 July 2022 (has links)
<p> </p>
<p>Electrical steels are one type of soft magnetic material. They are based on Fe-Si alloys and are widely used for magnetic cores in transformers and electric motors. It is well known that Fe- 6.5Si wt% is the most efficient composition; however, at such a high silicon concentration (6.5wt.% = 12.1 at.% Si in Fe), the poor workability of the alloy makes it unacceptable for industrial production via conventional sheet steel rolling processes. This problem was approached in two different ways. First, a machining-based approach that suppresses the mechanisms that lead to cracking during conventional rolling was implemented for processing of thin metal strips. Two related machining-based sheet production technologies called free machining (FM), and hybrid cutting extrusion (HCE) were used to produce strips of high resistivity electrical steel. The maximum strip width achieved was 50 mm, and it was produced with a combination of FM and light rolling with a surface roughness comparable to cold-rolled sheet surfaces. Second, a new experimental alloy Fe-4Si-4Cr wt% was developed with improved magnetic properties compared to ~ Fe-3.2Si wt% and outstanding workability. Results report that the new experimental alloy has an electrical resistivity of 85 ± 3 𝜇Ω ∙ 𝑐𝑚 which is higher than Fe-6.5%Si. Also, the results on the Fe-4Si-4Cr workability show that this new alloy can withstand 75% cold-rolled reduction. The magnetic properties characterization was done via standard stacked toroid testing, and results show that Fe-4Si-4Cr experimental alloy exhibits excellent magnetic performance with a reduction in core losses of 33% at 400 Hz compared to commercial alloys with ~ Fe-3.2Si wt%. Recrystallization kinetics and texture evolution in the experimental alloy were evaluated for traditionally rolled and machining-based samples. Results were used to construct annealing maps. These maps represent the stages of the annealing process for a range of temperature versus time conditions, i.e., the annealing maps are a graphical summary showing the different stages of the annealing process for the Fe-4Si-4Cr experimental alloy in the two conditions. Despite the significant differences in the deformation texture of the two conditions, the recrystallization kinetics were similar. Finally, the two conditions retained the as-deformed texture in the intermediate annealing but to a lesser degree after completing a full anneal. In the case of the rolled sample, it is possible to trace the original texture fibers (γ-fiber, the partial α-fiber, and the θ -fiber) in the fully annealed data, but the texture intensity is just 2.5 mrd. On the other hand, the texture of the fully annealed HCE sample changes as compared to the as-deformed condition, located close to (110)[112] with a surprisingly strong peak of ~ 25 mrd. </p>

Caractérisations mécaniques et microstructurales des films de zircone obtenus par MOCVD et Sol-Gel / Mechanical and microstructural characterizations of zirconia thick films obtained by MOCVD and Sol-GelJouili, Mohamed 28 June 2011 (has links)
L’objectif fondamental de cette étude est de montrer la faisabilité de l’élaboration des couches épaisses de zircone non dopée, en contrôlant la microstructure et l’état mécanique, par MOCVD et par Sol-Gel. Dans un premier temps, nous avons essayé d’optimiser les conditions de dépôt de MOCVD, en faisant varier ou en jouant sur les différents paramètres du procédé, conduisant à l’obtention des couches de ZrO2 micrométriques et denses. La stabilité de la phase quadratique de la zircone est conditionnée par la pression partielle en oxygène, la température du substrat ainsi que l’épaisseur du dépôt. La texture cristallographique de type {100} est obtenue pour les dépôts réalisés à une température de substrat T ≤ 850°C et pour de faibles pressions totales. Concernant l’état mécanique des couches de zircone, l’augmentation de l’épaisseur de la couche peut relaxer les contraintes résiduelles de tension au sein du dépôt. Ce phénomène s’accentue au-delà d’une épaisseur critique suite à la création des espacements entre les colonnes de croissance de la couche. Parallèllement, nous avons montré que la qualité des dépôts Sol-Gel est maitrisée par le choix du substrat, l’utilisation de « sols » vieillis, la multiplication du nombre de couches « spin-coating », le mode de dépôt ainsi que la température de recuit. Certaines propriétés caractéristiques du dépôt telles que la cristallisation, la composition de phase et l’adhérence sont aisément contrôlées respectivement par l’âge du sol, la température de recuit et le coefficient de dilatation thermique associé au substrat utilisé. La microstructure (changement de phases, taille des cristallites, texture cristallographique) et les contraintes internes (thermiques et intrinsèques) ont été caractérisées. Le Sol-Gel présente l’avantage de proposer des couches de zircone très peu contraintes par rapport aux films obtenus par le procédé MOCVD. Quel que soit le procédé de dépôt, MOCVD et/ou Sol-Gel, l’élaboration des films de ZrO2 orientés demeure fonction de la température du traitement. La tentative d’élaborer des multicouches de zircone par un couplage MOCVD/Sol-Gel montre la possibilité de sélectionner des paramètres de dépôt propices à la fabrication d’un film présentant un état microstructural et mécanique contrôlé et voulu. / The fundamental purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility to obtain an undoped zirconia thick film, by controlling the microstructure and mechanical state, using MOCVD and Sol-Gel technique. Firstly, we try to optimize the MOCVD deposition conditions, by varying the different process parameters, leading to the production of ZrO2 micrometric and dense films. The stability of the tetragonal zirconia phase depends on the oxygen partial pressure, the substrate temperature and the film thickness. The crystallographic texture of {100} type is obtained for the deposits obtained under a substrate temperature T ≤ 850°C and a low total pressure. Concerning mechanical state of the zirconia films, the thickness increasing can relax the tensile residual stress within the deposit. This phenomenon accents beyond a critical thickness due to the creation of columns spaces during film growth. In the second part, we show that the quality of the Sol-Gel deposition is controlled by substrate origin, use of aged sol, increase of “spin-coating” layers number, deposition mode and annealing temperature. Some deposit characteristics such as crystallization, phase composition and film adhesion are easily controlled by sol aging, annealing temperature and thermal expansion coefficient associated to the used substrate, respectively. The microstructure (phase change, crystalline size, crystallographic texture) and the internal stresses (thermal and residual) were characterized. The Sol-Gel technique has the advantage of providing zirconia films with low stress level compared to the films obtained by MOCVD. Regardless of the deposition process, MOCVD and / or Sol-Gel, the development of ZrO2 oriented films is in function of the treatment temperature. The attempt to get multilayer zirconia by coupling MOCVD/Sol-Gel methods shows the possibility to choose the deposition parameters in order to produce films with controlled and wanted microstructure and mechanical state.

Mechanism of failure by hydrogen-induced cracking in pipeline steels2015 August 1900 (has links)
Pipeline steels that carry oil and natural gas in severe environments suffer from two important modes of failure: stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC). The SCC has been studied extensively in the literature; however, HIC phenomenon in pipeline steels is less investigated by researchers. Nevertheless, HIC is recognized as the most important damage mode in sour environment. Hydrogen atoms produced due to surface corrosion of the steel diffuse into it through microstructural defects. When a critical amount of hydrogen is accumulated in such defects, HIC cracks initiate and propagate. The main objectives of this thesis are to find the HIC crack nucleation and propagation sites, evaluate a role of texture and grain boundary character distribution in crack growth and finally establish the effect of different microstructural parameters contributing to the HIC related failure in pipeline steel.
In this thesis, HIC standard test and electrochemical hydrogen-charging experiments were used to induce HIC cracks in pipeline steels. HIC cracks at the cross section of tested samples were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM observations clearly indicate that the investigated X60 and X70 steels are susceptible to HIC while the X60SS steel showed a higher resistance to HIC. This experiment also proved that the X70 steel has higher susceptibility to HIC than the other investigated steel. Energy dispersive spectroscopic (EDS) analyses indicated that two types of inclusion namely manganese sulfide and carbonitiride precipitates serve as crack nucleation sites. HIC cracks were observed to propagate at the center of cross section where the segregation of some elements such as carbon and manganese occurred.
Moreover, two other experiments were carried out in order to evaluate the capability of pipeline steels for hydrogen-trapping. The first test, hydrogen-permeation experiment, showed that all pipeline steel specimens, such as X70, X60 and X60SS steels, contain both reversible and irreversible hydrogen traps. However, the density of traps at the center of cross section was higher than other regions in all tested specimens. The hydrogen-discharging experiments also showed that all specimens keep a considerable amount of hydrogen inside their traps. The hydrogen traps, based on their binding energy with the metal matrix, are categorized as reversible (weak) and irreversible (strong) traps and the roles of each type of traps are explained.
Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) measurements were done along the HIC crack in X70 steel after standard HIC test. The results showed that the {100} texture was strong while the {111} texture was weak. Some special texture components, such as the {110}, {332} and {112}, were observed after the HIC crack-stoppage. EBSD results also documented that fine grain colonies were prone to intergranular HIC crack propagation and IPF and PF, calculated in both sides of HIC cracks, showed the preferences of ND||<100> orientation.
Both susceptible X60 and non-susceptible X60SS steel to HIC were compared based on the EBSD results. It was observed that the high amount of recrystallization fraction with no stored energy is one of the main reasons for a higher HIC resistance of X60SS steel to HIC. Moreover, Kernel Average Misorientation (KAM) data showed that the deformation is more concentrated in the as-received and HIC tested X60 specimens.
The effect of hydrogen-charging during tensile/fatigue loading of X60SS steel was studied and it was observed that some HIC cracks at the cross section of X60SS steel were appeared after hydrogen-charging at stresses below the yield stress.
Experiments were carried out to understand the effect of cold-rolling and annealing on HIC susceptibility in pipeline steels. The results documented that the {100} dominant texture is more pronounced in 50% and 90% cold-rolled and annealed specimens. The effect of different factors such as KAM degree and recrystallized fraction affecting HIC susceptibility on cold-rolled and annealed specimens was investigated. The obtained results showed that the cold-rolling and annealing process may not be considered as an effective method to increase HIC resistance in pipeline steels.

Influência do nióbio na textura e resistência à corrosão de aços inoxidáveis ferríticos em ambientes aerados e desaerados / Influence of niobium on the texture and corrosion resistance of ferritic stainless steels in aerated and de-aerated environmentsArdila, Miguel Angel Narvaez 26 February 2013 (has links)
This work aims to study the niobium influence in the crystallographic texture and the
corrosion resistance of ferritic stainless steels on aerated and de-aerated
environments. For this objective the ferritic stainless steels P409, P410, P430A,
P430E (Nb stabilized) were used; and austenitic stainless steel, P304, and carbon
steel, A36, were used as comparative materials. These materials had a mechanical
characterization (hardness and tension test), and the steels P430A and P430E had a
crystallographic characterization too. That crystallographic characterization (by
EBSD) was analyzed through to inverse pole figure (IPF) and crystal orientation
distribution function (CODF). The samples were submitted to anodic potentiodynamic
polarization test in solutions: 3.56% NaCl, and 1N H2SO4 on aerated environment,
and 3.56% NaCl at de-aerated environment. The samples were examined by SEM
after the polarization tests. The analysis of the results clearly showed that the
crystallographic texture influence the corrosion resistance. The niobium in the
stainless steel reduces the presence of preferential orientation, therefore, the
influence of the texture in the corrosion resistance, but helps to increase the
corrosion resistance by the formation of niobium carbbonites. Finally it was observed
that for polarization tests in aerated environments and de-aerated have a very small
variation in behavior that depends on the steel, but this variation is not statistically
significant. / O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a influência do nióbio na textura cristalográfica e
resistência à corrosão de aços inoxidáveis ferríticos em ambientes aerados e
desaerados. Usou-se para o estudo os aços inoxidáveis ferríticos P409, P410,
P430A, P430E (estabilizado ao Nb) e como objetos de comparação usaram-se os
aços inoxidáveis austenítico P304 e o aço ao carbono A36. Neles realizou-se uma
caracterização mecânica (dureza, ensaio de tração), e para os aços P430A e P430E
foi feita uma caracterização cristalográfica (via EBSD) por meio de figura de polos
inversa (IPF) e da função de distribuição de orientação cristalina (FDOC). As
amostras foram submetidas a ensaios de polarização potenciodinâmica anódica
para soluções de 3,56% NaCl e 1N de H2SO4 em ambiente aerado e solução de
3,56% NaCl em ambiente desaerado. As amostras foram examinadas por
microscopia MEV após os ensaios de polarização. A análise dos resultados mostrou
claramente que a textura cristalográfica influência a resistência à corrosão. O nióbio
diminui a presença de orientações preferenciais, e, por consequência, a influência
da textura na resistência à corrosão, no entanto aumenta a resistência à corrosão
nos aços inoxidáveis pela formação de carbonetos de nióbio. Por último observou-se
que para ensaios de polarização em ambientes aerados e desaerados existe uma
ligeira variação no comportamento que depende de cada aço, mas que não é
estatisticamente significativa. / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Simulation multi-échelle des procédés de fabrication basée sur la plasticité cristalline / Multi-scale simulation of manufacturing processes based on the crystal plasticitySoho, Komi Dodzi Badji 21 March 2016 (has links)
Dans cette thèse, deux méthodes de couplage sont proposées pour la simulation multi-échelle des procédés de mise en forme. Dans la première partie, une procédure simplifiée (couplage indirect) est adoptée pour coupler les codes éléments finis (Abaqus et LAM3) au modèle polycristallin avec un schéma de transition autocohérente basée sur le comportement élastoplastique du monocristal écrit dans le formalisme des grandes déformations. Cette procédure simplifiée consiste à lier le modèle polycristallin avec l'analyse EF par l'extraction de l'histoire de l'incrément de déformation et de contrainte macroscopique, obtenue à partir d'une simulation EF préliminaire avec une loi phénoménologique, et à l'utiliser comme trajet de chargement dans le modèle polycristallin. Cette méthode est appliquée pour la simulation multi-échelle du procédé de skin-pass. Le suivi du trajet de chargement extrait dans la demi-épaisseur de la tôle a permis de prédire l'évolution des grandeurs physiques associées au modèle de plasticité en particulier la texture cristallographique, la texture morphologique et l'écrouissage. Dans la seconde partie de cette thèse, un modèle polycristallin élastoplastique du type autocohérent en petites déformations est couplé au code EF Abaqus via la routine utilisateur UMAT. Ce couplage (dit couplage direct) consiste à utiliser la théorie de la plasticité cristalline comme loi de comportement à chaque point d'intégration du maillage EF. Le polycristal est représenté par un ensemble de N monocristaux. Chaque fois que le code EF a besoin d'information sur le comportement mécanique aux points d'intégration de chaque EF, le modèle polycristallin est appelé. Pour valider ce couplage développé, nous avons effectué des cas tests de simulation de trajets rhéologiques. Les résultats issus de ce couplage ont été validés avec des modèles de référence. À la différence des modèles phénoménologiques, ce couplage permet non seulement d'avoir des informations sur le comportement macroscopique de la structure mais aussi d'obtenir des informations sur l'état de la microstructure du matériau. / In this thesis, two coupling methods are proposed for the multiscale simulation of forming processes. In the first part, a simplified procedure (indirect coupling) is adopted to couple the finite element codes (Abaqus and LAM3) with a polycrystalline selfconsistent model based on the large strain elastoplastic behavior of single crystals. This simplified procedure consists in linking the polycrystalline model with the FE analysis by extracting the history of the increment of macroscopic strain and stress, obtained from a preliminary FE simulation with a phenomenological law, and then using it as loading path prescribed to the polycrystalline model. This method is applied to multiscale simulation of skin-pass processes. By following on the loading path extracted at the halfthickness of the sheet, we can predict the evolution of some physical parameters associated with the plasticity model, in particular the crystallographic texture, the morphological texture and hardening. In the second part on this thesis, a small strain version of the elastoplastic polycristalline self-consistent model is coupled to the Abaqus FE code via the user material subroutine UMAT. This coupling (called direct coupling) consists in using crystal plasticity theory as constitutive law at each integration point of the FE mesh. The polycristal is represented by a set of N single crystals. Each time the FE code needs information on the mechanical behavior at the integration points considered, the full polycrystalline constitutive model is called. In order to validate this coupling, simulations of simple mechanical tests have been conducted. The results of this coupling have been validated through comparison with reference models. Unlike phenomenological models, this coupling provides not only information on the overall macroscopic response of the structure, but also important information related to its microstructure

Anisotropic mechanical behaviors and microstructural evolution of thin-walled additively manufactured metalsYu, Cheng-Han January 2020 (has links)
Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a concept and method of a manufacturing process that builds a three-dimensional object layer-by-layer. Opposite to the conventional subtractive manufacturing, it conquers various limitations on component design freedom and raises interest in various fields, including aerospace, automotive and medical applications. This thesis studies the mechanical behavior of thin-walled component manufactured by a common AM technique, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The studied material is Hastelloy X, which is a Ni-based superalloy, and it is in connection to a component repair application in gas turbines. The influence of microstructure on the deformation mechanisms at elevated temperatures is systematically investigated. This study aims for a fundamental and universal study that can apply to different material grades with FCC crystallographic structure. It is common to find elongated grain and subgrain structure caused by the directional laser energy input in the LPBF process, which is related to the different printing parameters and brands of equipment. This thesis will start with the study of scan rotation effect on stainless steel 316L in an EOS M290 equipment. The statistic texture analysis by using neutron diffraction reveals a clear transition when different level of scan rotation is applied. Scan rotation of 67° is a standard printing parameter with intention to lower anisotropy, yet, the elongated grain and cell structure is still found in the as-built microstructure. Therefore, the anisotropic mechanical behavior study is carried out on the sample printed with scan rotation of 67° in this thesis. Thin-walled effects in LPBF are investigated by studying a group of plate-like HX specimens, with different nominal thicknesses from 4mm down to 1mm, and a reference group of rod-like sample with a diameter of 18mm. A texture similar to Goss texture is found in rod-like sample, and it becomes <011>//BD fiber texture in the 4mm specimen, then it turns to be <001> fiber texture along the transverse direction (TD) in the 1mm specimen. Tensile tests with the strain rate of 10−3 s−1 have been applied to the plate-like specimens from room temperature up to 700 ℃. A degradation of strength is shown when the sample becomes thinner, which is assumed to be due to the overestimated load bearing cross-section since the as-built surface is rough. A cross-section calibration method is proposed by reducing the surface roughness, and a selection of proper roughness parameters is demonstrated with the consideration of the calculated Taylor’s factor and the residual stress. The large thermal gradient during the LPBF process induces high dislocation density and strengthens the material, hence, the LPBF HX exhibits better yield strength than conventionally manufactured, wrought HX, but the work hardening capacity and ductility are sacrificed at the same time. Two types of loading condition reveal the anisotropic mechanical behavior, where the vertical and horizontal tests refer to the loading direction being on the BD and TD respectively. The vertical tests exhibit lower strength but better ductility that is related to the larger lattice rotation observed from the samples with different deformation level. Meanwhile, the elongated grain structure and grain boundary embrittlement are responsible for the low horizontal ductility. A ductile to brittle transition is traced at 700 ℃, so a further study with two different slow strain rates, 10−5 s−1 and 10−6 s−1, are carried out at 700 ℃. Creep damage is shown in the slow strain rates testing. Deformation twinning is found only in the vertical tests where it forms mostly in the twin favorable <111> oriented grain along the LD. The large lattice rotation and the deformation twinning make the vertical ductility remain high level under the slow strain rates. The slow strain rate tensile testing lightens the understanding of creep behavior in LPBF Ni-based superalloys. In summary, this thesis uncovers the tensile behavior of LPBF HX with different variations, including geometry-dependence, temperature-dependence, crystallographic texture-dependence and strain rate-dependence. The generated knowledge will be beneficial to the future study of different mechanical behavior such as fatigue and creep, and it will also enable a more robust design for LPBF applications. / Additiv tillverkning, eller 3D-utskrifter, är tillverkningsmetoder där man skapar ett tredimensionellt objekt genom att tillföra material lager for lager. Till skillnad från konventionella avverkande tillverkningsmetoder elimineras många geometriska begränsningar vilket ger större designfrihet och metoderna har därför väckt stort intresse inom en rad olika områden, inklusive flyg-, fordons- och medicinska tillämpningar. I denna avhandling studeras mekaniska egenskaper hos tunnväggiga komponenter tillverkade med en vanligt förekommande laserbaserad pulverbädds-teknik, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Det studerade materialet är Hastelloy X, en Ni-baserad superlegering som är vanligt förekommande for både nytillverkning och reparation av komponenter för gasturbiner. Inverkan av mikrostruktur på deformationsmekanismerna vid förhöjda temperaturer undersöks systematiskt. Detta arbete syftar till att ge grundläggande och generisk kunskap som kan tillämpas på olika materialtyper med en kubiskt tätpackad (FCC) kristallstruktur. Det är vanligt att man hittar en utdragen kornstruktur orsakad av den riktade tillförseln av laserenergi i LPBF-processen, vilket kan relateras till olika processparametrar och kan variera mellan utrustningar frän olika leverantörer. Denna avhandling inleds med studien av effekten av scanningsstrategi vid tillverkning av rostfritt stål 316L i en EOS M290-utrustning. En statistisk texturanalys med hjälp av neutrondiffraktion påvisar en tydlig övergång mellan olika mikrostrukturer när olika scanningsstrategier tillämpas. En scanningsrotation på 67 mellan varje lager är en typisk standardinställning med avsikt att sanka anisotropin i materialet, dock finns den utdragna kornstrukturen oftast kvar. I denna avhandling studeras därför de anisotropa egenskaperna hos material tillverkade med 67 scanningsrotation. Effekten av tunnväggiga strukturer i LPBF undersöks genom att studera en uppsättning platta HX-prover, med olika nominella tjocklekar från 4 mm ner till 1 mm, samt en referensgrupp med cylindriska prov med en diameter på 18 mm. Kristallografisk textur som liknar den av Goss-typ återfinns i de cylindriska proverna vilket gradvis övergår från en fibertextur med <011> i byggriktningen for 4mm-proven till en fibertextur med <001> i tvärriktningen for 1mm-proven. Dragprovning med en töjningshastighet på 10−3 s−1 har utförts på de platta provstavarna från rumstemperatur upp till 700 ℃. En sänkning av styrkan uppvisas när proven blir tunnare, vilket kan antas bero på att det lastbarande tvärsnittet överskattas på grund av den grova ytan. En metod för tvärsnittskalibrering föreslås genom att kompensera for ytråheten, och valet av lämplig ytfinhetsparameter motiveras med hänsyn till den beräknade Taylor-faktorn och förekomsten av restspänningar. Den stora termiska gradienten som uppstår for LPBF-processen inducerar en hög dislokationstäthet vilket höjer materialets styrka och följaktligen uppvisar LPBF HX högre sträckgräns an konventionellt tillverkad, smidda HX, men förmågan till deformationshårdnande samt duktiliteten i materialet sänks samtidigt. Tester utförda i två olika belastningsriktningar, vertikalt respektive horisontellt mot byggriktningen, demonstrerar det anisotropiska mekaniska beteendet. De vertikala testerna uppvisar lägre hållfasthet men bättre duktilitet vilket kan relateras till en större benägenhet for kristallstukturen att rotera när deformationsgraden ökar. Samtidigt är den utdragna kronstukturen ansvarig for den lägre duktiliteten for de horisontella proverna. En övergång från ett duktilt till ett mer sprött beteende noterades vid 700 ℃, och därför initierades ytterligare en studie där tester med två lägre töjningshastigheter, 10−5 s−1 och 10−6 s−1, utfördes vid 700 ℃. Det kan noteras att krypskador återfinns i tester med en långsam deformationshastighet och deformationstvillingar uppstår endast i de vertikala provstavarna där det främst bildas tvillingar i korn orienterade med <111> riktningen längs belastningsriktningen. Den stora förmågan till rotation i kristallstrukturen och deformationstvillingarna bidrar till att den vertikala duktiliteten förblir hög även i testerna med en låg deformationshastighet. Testerna med en långsam draghastighet bidrar därför till en bättre förståelse av krypbeteendet i LPBF Nibaserade superlegeringar. Sammanfattningsvis så bidrar denna avhandling till bättre förståelse av de mekaniska egenskaperna hos LPBF HX i olika utföranden och förhållanden, inklusive geometriberoende, temperaturberoende, deformationshastighetsberoende samt inverkan av kristallografisk textur. Den genererade kunskapen kommer att vara till stor nytta vid fortsatta studier av olika mekaniska egenskaper som utmattning och kryp, samt bidrar till att möjliggöra en mer robust design for LPBF-tillämpningar.
