Abstract

In this study, a micromechanical approach is used to investigate the deformation behaviour of rheocast Al–7Si–0.3Mg alloy. The alloy is rheocast using a cooling slope (at 45° and 60° angles) after melt treatment with a grain refiner addition (0.15% by weight Al–5Ti–1B master alloy). The comparison is made with the conventionally cast sample of the same alloy. Microscale instability of the rheocast alloy occurring at the onset of deformation, due to the strain incompatibility between the primary and eutectic phases, causes stress and strain localization as well as a triaxial state of stress, which subsequently governs void initiation and growth in the said alloy. A commercial finite element (FE) code ABAQUS is used to simulate microscale deformation behaviour of the three-dimensional representative volume elements (RVE) of approximated and as well as actual microstructure of the said alloy under uniaxial tensile loading. Although, globally uniaxial tensile loading is applied over the RVEs, however, stress triaxiality causes local variation of stress state, as evident from biaxial tensile stress state observed at grain boundaries of the above-mentioned RVEs, whereas uniaxial tensile stress is observed at the central location of these RVEs. Simulation results reveal that the macroscale deformation behaviour of the said alloy is determined by its microscopic features such as shape, size, distribution (spread of primary Al grains within the volume element) and volume fraction of primary Al grains. Moreover, distribution as well as volume fraction of eutectic Si also plays deciding role in deformation behaviour of the alloy. The FE model predictions of improved deformation behaviour/stress distribution evidenced in the rheocast + grain refined alloy is validated via phase level mechanical properties of the alloy, estimated from nanoindentation.

流变铸造 A356 合金变形行为的三维微观力学建模
本研究采用微机械方法研究流变铸造 Al-7Si-0.3Mg 合金的变形行为。合金是在添加晶粒细化剂(0.15%(重量)Al-5Ti-1B 母合金)的熔体处理后,利用冷却斜坡(45° 和 60°角)进行流变铸造的。与相同合金的传统铸造样品进行了比较。由于原生相和共晶相之间的应变不相容性,流变铸造合金在变形开始时会出现微观不稳定性,导致应力和应变局部化以及三轴应力状态,进而影响上述合金中空洞的产生和增长。我们使用商业有限元(FE)代码 ABAQUS 来模拟上述合金在单轴拉伸载荷下近似和实际微观结构的三维代表体积元素(RVE)的微尺度变形行为。虽然在 RVE 上施加的是全局单轴拉伸载荷,但应力的三轴性会导致应力状态的局部变化,在上述 RVE 的晶界处观察到的双轴拉伸应力状态就是证明,而在这些 RVE 的中心位置观察到的是单轴拉伸应力。模拟结果表明,上述合金的宏观变形行为取决于其微观特征,如形状、尺寸、分布(原生铝晶粒在体积元素中的分布)和原生铝晶粒的体积分数。此外,共晶硅的分布和体积分数也对合金的变形行为起着决定性作用。流变铸造+晶粒细化合金的变形行为/应力分布得到了改善,其有限元模型预测结果通过合金的相级机械性能(由纳米压痕估算得出)得到了验证。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Metalcasting is dedicated to leading the transfer of research and technology for the global metalcasting industry. The quarterly publication keeps the latest developments in metalcasting research and technology in front of the scientific leaders in our global industry throughout the year. All papers published in the the journal are approved after a rigorous peer review process. The editorial peer review board represents three international metalcasting groups: academia (metalcasting professors), science and research (personnel from national labs, research and scientific institutions), and industry (leading technical personnel from metalcasting facilities).
