Week 2 Flashcards
What are Bulk Deformation Processes characterized by?
Significant deformations and massive shape changes.
Example: Rolling, forging, extrusion.
What does ‘bulk’ refer to in Bulk Deformation Processes?
Workparts with relatively low surface area-to-volume ratios.
What are the starting work shapes for Bulk Deformation Processes?
Cylindrical billets and rectangular bars.
What is the primary interest in the plastic region of the stress-strain curve in metal forming?
Material being plastically deformed.
How is a metal’s behavior expressed in the plastic region?
By the flow curve.
What does the flow curve equation represent in metal forming?
The relationship between true stress and true strain.
What does the ‘K’ represent in the flow curve equation?
Strength coefficient.
What does the ‘n’ represent in the flow curve equation?
Strain hardening exponent.
What is flow stress?
The instantaneous value of stress required to continue deforming the material.
What happens to the strength of most metals at room temperature when deformed?
It increases due to strain hardening.
How is flow stress represented in terms of yield strength and strain?
Yf = KY^nf
What are the given values for the metal’s flow curve?
Strength coefficient = 850 MPa, Strain-hardening exponent = 0.30.
What is the formula to determine flow stress at a new length?
Flow stress = Strength coefficient * (strain)^Strain-hardening exponent.
What is the flow stress at the new length if the gage length is 100 mm and the stretched length is 157 mm?
Calculate using the flow stress formula with the given values.
How can the average flow stress during deformation be calculated?
By integrating the flow stress over the strain range and dividing by the strain range.
What is the flow stress calculation based on the given solution?
Flow stress = 850(0.451)^0.30 = 669.4 MPa.
How is the average flow stress calculated?
Average flow stress = 850(0.451)^0.30 / 1.30 = 514.9 MPa.
How is the average flow stress determined?
By integrating the flow curve equation between zero and the final strain value defining the range of interest.
What does the symbol ε represent in the flow curve equation?
Maximum strain during the deformation process.
What does the symbol σ represent in the flow curve equation?
Average flow stress.
What do the flow curve constants K and n depend on?
Temperature.
How are strength and strain hardening affected at higher temperatures?
Both are reduced.
What happens to ductility at higher temperatures?
It is increased.
What are the three temperature ranges in metal forming?
Cold working, warm working, and hot working.
