In this research, turbulent MHD convection of liquid metal with constant and variable properties is investigated numerically. The finite volume method is applied to model the fluid flow and natural convection heat transfer in a square cavity. The fluid flow and heat transfer were simulated and compared for two cases constant and variable properties. It is observed that for the case variable pro...

A large-scale Mg–6Al–Zn plate was prepared by multi-pass submerged friction stir processing (M-SFSP) and its superplastic deformation behavior investigated. The maximum elongation of 467%, 332% 421% attained for the samples oriented in direction (PD), 45° tilted toward PD, transverse (TD), respectively, when deformed at 623 K a strain rate 1 × 10−3 s−1. This attributed to homogeneous fine-grain...

due to the great variety of applications of magnesium alloys with superior mechanical properties, recent studies have been focused on the hot deformation behavior and microstructure of magnesium alloy castings. although there have been several recent investigations on the microstructure of wrought magnesium alloys after hot deformation, a limited number of studies have been conducted with regar...

Phenomenological approach to the description of deformation resistance behaviour of steel and its microstructure development under the service hot rolling condition is still the most common useful and powerful. Utilising different experimental equipment such as torsion plastometer [1-5], compression plastometer [6-9], or advanced laboratory mills [10, 11] as well as different deformation techni...

A hot tear indicator based on the physics of solidification and deformation is presented. This indicator is derived using available data from computer simulation of solidification and solid deformation. Hot tears form when the mushy zone is starved of liquid feeding and deformed in tension. The unfed tensile deformation causes a small additional porosity. A physical model based on a mass balanc...

in the present study, the microstructural changes of a nickel based superalloy nimonic80a during a non-isothermal deformation were studied. therefore, microstructure evolutionduring hot side pressing test was predicted with combined methods of finite element analysis andprocessing map of the material. the predicted results were validated through experimentalmicrostructural studies. the results ...

experiments were carried out in which the dependence of the fractional softening on temperature, time and strain rate was determined in a 304h stainless steel. three prestrain ranges were identified pertaining to three different post-deformation softening behaviors: 1) prestraining to below the drx critical strain: strongly strain dependent softening by srx alone with softening kinetics control...

effect of small al additions, from 0.14% to 0.31% ai, on the hot deformation behavior of low carbon steels containing 1%cu-1.2%mn was investigated in the temperature range of 750-800•c over the strain rate range of 1o.3.1o.1s•1 by a hot compression testing machine. the flow curves obtained, exhibited typical characteristics of dynamic recovery type of softening mechanism, and the critical strai...
