Bearing ring blanks of the high-speed rail bearings, machine tool spindle bearings and wind power bearings have been manufactured through the ring rolling technology. Yet, the plastic deformation and microstructure evolution of bearing ring blanks during the cold rolling process remains unclear. In this work, the deformation and damage evaluation of bearing ring blanks made of GCr15 bearing steel are characterised by the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique. Furthermore, their microstructure changes in cold rolling are investigated through band contrast images, and their texture evolutions after various deformation ratios are analysed by the technique of 3D-Euler space distribution. This work provides valuable guidelines for enhanced understanding the role of the cold rolling technology on the microstructure evolution of bearing ring blanks.

The traditional method of calculating the high-temperature austenite peak stress empirical model proposed by Sellars and McTegart has been used for 50 years. A new method based on the valence electron theory is presented in three steps. The first step is to calculate the austenitic valence electron parameters and their statistical values at high temperature. The second one is to calculate the binding energy and total binding energy based on the valence electron statistic parameters. The total binding energy is defined as the sum of the mole fractions of the constituent elements in low alloy steel and the corresponding binding energy. The last step is to establish the model of austenitic peak stress at elevated-temperature based on the combination of Hall-Petch formula and Misaka formula as well as the total binding energy. The prediction results show that the austenitic peak stress model presented in this paper has good precision.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the parameters of material plasticity and fracture models at room temperature and at rates up to 1 mm/min for steels which are ordinarily used for forging, for instance the 38MnVS6 steel. The behaviour of materials during forming was evaluated and described using MARC/MENTAT and DEFORM software tools. Several fracture models were examined from the perspective of the planned research tasks which involve testing at forging temperatures up to 1,100°C. The fracture models considered were those which are implemented as standard tools for example: Cockcroft and Latham, Oyane and Rice and Tracey. Standard tensile tests, torsion tests and compressive tests were carried out. Based on the tensile test data, an FEM analysis of the stress-strain curve was conducted. The ductile fracture models were then calibrated using multiple stress-strain conditions, including triaxial stress states and various lode angles.

Commercial 5052 aluminium alloy sheets were subjected to a severe plastic deformation technique known as constrained groove pressing (CGP) at room temperature. The impact of repeated CGP, upon the microstructure refinement was investigated by polarised optical microscope as well as transmission electron microscope. Changes in mechanical properties, measured by tensile test and hardness test, were related to the evolution of microstructures. Moreover, the microhardness, measured on the polished cross-section of each as-pressed sheet, was plotted to provide a pictorial depiction of the homogeneity. The results show that the mechanical fragmentation dominates at grain refinement and a submicron grain size of about 300 nm was achieved in 5052 aluminium alloy sheets by imposing severe plastic strains of 4.64 utilising the CGP technique. The average microhardness increase dramatically after one pass and then slightly increases with increasing passes, but the homogeneous distribution of microhardness decreases after one pass and then recovers in subsequent passes result in the corresponding uniform distribution of microstructure. In addition, the ultimate tensile strength clearly increases with increasing passes and the elongation decreases after one pass and then remains reasonably constant with further passes.

A numerical model is proposed to quantitatively characterise the residual stress evolutions in low temperature colossal carburised layer on austenitic stainless steel. In this model, on the basis of the consideration of concentration and stress dependent carbon diffusivity, prediction of the carbon concentration distribution and growth regularity of carburised layer is performed. The strain rate is discussed taking the compositive effects of residual stress and carbon concentration gradient. Based on the strain compatibility of carburised layer and substrate, the residual stress is calculated. Meanwhile, a low temperature colossal carburisation experiment is carried out on 316L austenitic stainless steel and the carbon concentration and residual stress are measured to verify the validity of the model. The numerical results of carbon concentration and residual stress distributions agree with the experimental data, indicating that the numerical model established in this paper can be used to investigate the process of low temperature colossal carburisation.

In autoclave age forming process (AAF), temperature uniformity in large aluminium panel is one of the most important factors affecting its final shape and performance. In order to predict the temperature field of the panel, a 3D computational fluid dynamics model for autoclave processing of a large aluminium panel is developed and experimental evaluated. A good fitting between the experimental data and calculated results is obtained. During the heating process, the slowest heating points are positioned at the intermediate positions between 15-40% and between 55-70% of the panel length. The panel's peak temperature difference was appeared in the primary stage of soaking process due to the conduction between the panel and mould. It can be concluded that the developed CFD can further used to provide guidance for mould design and processing parameters optimisation.

A thermo-mechanical analysis was conducted in SAE-AISI 1524 carbon steel gas tungsten arc welds. The sequentially coupled thermal-mechanical finite element modelling approach was used to simulate the thermal and stress evolution during the GTAW process. The analysis procedure was divided into two major steps. First, a 3D transient nonlinear heat flow analysis was performed to determine the temperature distribution for the entire welding and cooling cycle of the process. In the second step, the thermal history from the heat flow model was included into the mechanical elasto-plastic calculation of the stress and deformation in the weldment. Temperature-dependent material properties and the effect of forced convection due to the flow of the shielding gas were included in the model. It is encouraging to note that the model is sufficiently accurate to predict the FZ and HAZ weld profiles as evidenced for the good agreement observed between numerical cross-sectional and metallographic temperature profiles. The successful in the results can be attributed greatly to the characteristic heat distribution parameter C selected from the complementary experimental work. For further experimental comparison purposes, numerically predicted residual stresses obtained in three different locations of two different weld situations are presented.

The heavy backup roll is a key component in large steel rolling production line, as it supports the work roll to prevent any excessive deflection. The backup rolls are traditionally produced by large-scale forging process. To accurately describe the high temperature flow behaviour of a newly developed roll material Cr5 alloy for numerical forging simulation, a thermal simulation testing machine, Gleeble-1500D, is used in this work. The isothermal compression experiments are carried out to study the flow behaviour of Cr5 alloy at temperature range of 900 to 1,200°C, and strain rate range of 0.005/s to 5/s. Hansel-Spittel model is thus used to establish the constitutive equation of the material under hot deformation. The accuracy of the constitutive equation is analysed by using correlation coefficient r. The validation shows that this equation can accurately predict the thermal deformation behaviour Cr5 alloy. The Hansel-Spittel model is implemented into the Forge software, and the FE simulation of a compression process is compared favourably with the experimental data.

The parts of large-scale machinery equipment are mostly welded with each other. Welded structures with internal defects can be regarded as damage structures, which is much easier to suffer from fatigue damage under the action of variable amplitude loads. In this paper, the scale welding structure system - hydraulic support is taken as the object of study. Firstly, combining with the characteristics of its workload, it adopts a new angle: The probabilistic characteristics of the load history of hydraulic support are described and the reliability evaluation of the structure is carried out from 'macro' and 'micro'. Secondly, the equivalent cyclic loading with equivalent stress amplitude is equivalent to the equivalent cyclic loading by applying the damage equivalent mechanism. Based on this, the calculation of the total probability and the statistical average algorithm, the fatigue reliability model was built. It can objectively reflect the real failure, the correlation between the sites of injury.

The study deals with the casting defects of shrinkage and dispersed shrinkage appeared during the development of ductile iron bearing seat due to the original process of conventional side-riser feeding on the basis of general casting design method. The bearing seat was cast using automatic air-impact moulding production line with green-sand. The commercial software of InteCAST was used to simulate casting solidification process and to analyse the reason for the casting defects. Further, the optimised process was proposed in conjunction with three pieces of arc-type chills and a side-rider every casting. The result of mass production shows that the casting defects of bearing seat were effectively eliminated by the optimised process. Consequently, the development cycle of bearing seat was significantly shortened and business opportunities of new market are obtained for the foundry enterprise.
