Abstract

This experimental study investigates the influence of electroplasticity on microstructural evolution and mechanical response during AA2024 plate forming processes. Direct current levels of 90 A, 100 A, and 110 A, corresponding to current densities of approximately 1.20, 1.33, and 1.47 A/mm 2 , were applied for 60 s during deformation, were utilized. The microstructure was characterized in accordance with ASTM E3 and ASTM E112 standards. Mechanical properties, including tensile and bending assessments, were evaluated following ASTM E8 and ASTM E290 standards. Microstructural analysis indicated that the application of electric current reduced θ AL-Cu precipitates and altered the microstructure. The highest tensile strength, 243.756 N/mnv 2 , and flexural strength, 1200.742 N/mm 2 , were observed at 90 A. An increase in current resulted in diminished mechanical strengths. These findings confirm that variations in current substantially affect both microstructure and mechanical performance.

Aging-Induced Microstructural Evolution and Fracture Mechanisms of 35Cr45NiNb Alloy Under High-Temperature Tensile Deformation

Centrifugally cast 35Cr45NiNb alloy has been widely employed in ethylene-cracking furnace tubes owing to its excellent carburization and creep resistance. However, the influence of microstructural degradation and temperature on its high-temperature tensile behavior remains poorly investigated. In this study, an acceler...

Microstructure and properties of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V alloy under dynamic impact

An investigation into the rate-dependent mechanical response and microstructural evolution of Ti-6Al-4V produced by additive manufacturing (AM) is presented. Three strain rate levels (1439 s−1, 2334 s−1, and 3302 s−1) were applied via Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) testing. The as-built alloy consists mainly of α...
