Manufacturing of Nanostructured Rings from Previously ECAE-Processed AA5083 Alloy by Isothermal Forging

Prediction of forging force and barreling behavior in isothermal hot forging of AlCuMgPb aluminum alloy using artificial neural network

In the present investigation, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed to predict the isothermal hot forging behavior of AlCuMgPb aluminum alloy. The inputs of the ANN are deformation temperature, frictional factor, ram velocity and displacement whereas the forging force, barreling parameter and final shape are considered as the output variable. The developed feed-forward back-prop...

Quasi-Static and Dynamic Characterization of Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE) –Processed and Rolled AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Sheet

Numerical Analysis of Az61 Magnesium Alloy Extrusion Process by Modified Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ecae) Method

T. Bajor, M. Krakowiak, P. Szota, Czestochowa University of Technology, Czestochowa, Poland The paper presents the results of numerical modelling of AZ61 magnesium alloy hot deformation using modified ECAE method. The temperature-velocity conditions were analysed using FEM. The extrusion process was realised using the die with modified angular channel containing horizontal contracting zone in t...

Aging of a nanostructured Zn50Se50 alloy produced by mechanical alloying

The aging of a nanocrystalline equiatomic ZnSe alloy produced by mechanical alloying was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. The measured XRD patterns showed that Se atoms located at interfacial component migrated with aging giving raise to a crystalline selenium (c-Se) phase. DSC spectra of heat-treated samples at temperatures abov...

Corrosion Behavior of Al-2wt%Cu Alloy Processed By Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) Process

Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) imposes severe plastic strain on materials without changing the specimen dimensions. ARB process is mostly appropriate for practical applications because it can be performed readily by the conventional rolling process. An Al-2wt%Cu alloy was subjected to ARB process up to a strain of 4.8. Stacking of materials and conventional roll-bonding are repeated in the pro...
