Bauschinger Effect in High-Strength Low-Strain-Hardening Materials – Post [1/2] In a series of 2 posts starting this week, the Bauschinger effect in high strength low-strain-hardening materials will be discussed. 1. Introduction It is noteworthy that cold-forged, high-strength materials or parts can often bypass heat treatment after being formed, which minimizes the amount of post-work due…

Read MoreEffect of flow stress on finite element predictions of metal flow lines in forging
Effect of flow stress on finite element predictions of metal flow lines in forging In the previous article, it was mentioned that the relatively small dead metal region due to flow stress model employed may cause the difference, which gives us an idea with expectation that a lower limit of flow stress model, i.e., initial…
Read MoreEffect of friction, temperature and velocity on finite element predictions of metal flow lines in forging
Effect of friction, temperature and velocity on finite element predictions of metal flow lines in forging In metal forming, especially in forging, metal flow lines formed during rolling or drawing play decisive role at product strength and integrity [1-4]. Of course, they vary globally with plastic deformation due to metal forming. Therefore, they store the…
Read MoreFinite element analysis of a tube swaging process
Finite element analysis of a tube swaging process Swaging process is a metal forming process for manufacturing various mechanical parts by changing cross-sections of rods, tubes and wires [1-10]. There are several advantages of the swaging. First, it is advantageous in mass producing straight or tapered metal shapes with various cross-sections including circle, square, gear…

Comparison of rigid-plastic and elasto-plastic finite element predictions of a tensile test of cylindrical specimens – Post 1 Tensile test gives valuable information about finite element analysis and some criterion on its evaluation. It should be noted that tensile test can be not only used for acquisition of flow stress but it can be also…
