Although the application of this process to improve the characteristics of austenitic stainless steels has been studied to some extent, little studies have considered the effect of route of the ECAP on this matter. This study aims to study the evolution of microstructure and the increase of hardness of stainless steel 316L during processing by two different routes of this process. For this purpose, the alloy is processed at the deformation temperature of 310 °C using two different routes of A and Bc. Afterwards, the microstructure evolution of the alloy is studied using the X-ray diffraction and the scanning electron microscopy. Results show that the applied ECAP procedure, irrespective of the applied route, causes a negligible occurrence of the phase transformation while it causes a widespread occurrence of twinning. This fact is related to the elevated temperature applied for the process. Also, the process causes a considerable increase in the hardness of the alloy mainly attributed to the occurrence of twinning.}, keywords = {severe plastic deformation,ECAP,Strain Path,Dislocation density,Twinning}, url = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_6075.html}, eprint = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_6075_153f1c8f99b4c7c429a510255ca6dc62.pdf} } @article { author = {Hadianfard, Mohammad Jafar and Kavousi Heydari, Reza and Arab, Seyed Mohammad}, title = {Effect of Fabrication Method and Porosity Content on Elastic Modulus of a Nano-Particle Dispersed Nickel Base Alloy}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Materials Forming}, volume = {8}, number = {2}, pages = {12-21}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Shiraz University}, issn = {2383-0042}, eissn = {2383-0042}, doi = {10.22099/ijmf.2021.37820.1160}, abstract = {The change in the elastic modulus of mechanically alloyed MA754 Ni-based superalloy as a function of the porosity and fabricating method has been discussed in this study. A mixed powder of a nano-particle strengthened nickel alloy was prepared directly from its alloying elements via mechanical alloying. The mixture then consolidated using two different powder metallurgy methods, pressing was followed by sintering and as was hot extrusion followed by drawing. The powder and solid parts were characterized by XRD, XRF, and microscopic examination. The porosity content and the elastic modulus of the samples were measured via Archimedes, image analysis, tensile, and/or compression tests, respectively. The results indicated that two methods of porosity measurement provided different values for each specimen. In addition, results showed, while processing method has influences on porosity content, it also affects the elastic modulus of the alloy tremendously. Two different values of experimental modulus can be justified by the effect of texture.

First, the shear stresses in FG hollow tubes with curved edges are investigated for different curvature radius of the cross-section corners. Next, stress concentrations are evaluated at low curvature parts of the cross-sections. Due to stress concentrations in low curvature regions, more considerable shear stresses are obtained. FE results are compared with the results of an analytical method for analysis of the torsion of hollow tubes to verify the computational approaches. Except for the points of stress concentrations, in other regions, an excellent agreement is found between analytical and FE results. Therefore, in stress concentration regions, regarding the error of analytical formula in stress analysis, some correction factor is presented. These stress concentration factors are calculated for a variety of curvature radius and cross-section thicknesses. Applying the presented factors, the proposed analytical formula can be used for stress evaluations, even at stress concentration regions. Finally, the effects of changing the volume fraction of the constituent phases are investigated for a range of curvature radius of cross-section corners.}, keywords = {Hollow tube,FGMs,Stress concentration,torsion,Shear stress}, url = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_6078.html}, eprint = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_6078_0db9115c3dcfa6643ffc8d808dc55324.pdf} } @article { author = {Cheraghi, Milad and Adelkhani, Ali and Attar, Mohammadmahdi}, title = {The Experimental and Numerical Study of the Effects of Holding Force, Die Radius, Pin Radius and Pin Distance on Springback in a Stretch Bending Test}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Materials Forming}, volume = {8}, number = {2}, pages = {35-43}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Shiraz University}, issn = {2383-0042}, eissn = {2383-0042}, doi = {10.22099/ijmf.2021.39387.1172}, abstract = {The stretch bending test is one of the methods for forming metals, especially sheets.

Moreover, various parameters were investigated, including die radius, pin diameters, blank holding force (BHF), and distance between pins. The stretching depth was 10 mm. Not to mention, springback is affected by technical and geometric parameters. For example, the results of the present study revealed that increasing the pin spacing led to the reduction of springback and for more spacing, the springback tends to spring-go, additionally, it was observed that a rise in the die radius, pin diameters, and blank holder force resulted in the reduction of springback.}, keywords = {Springback,Tensile Force,U-Shaped,BHF,Pin radius,Die radius}, url = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_6077.html}, eprint = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_6077_493c92bce85c66b8309ba2015809b064.pdf} } @article { author = {Mosadegh, Sahar and Aghaie-khafri, Mehrdad and Binesh, Behzad}, title = {Hot Workability and Processing Map of High Gd Content Mg-Gd-Zn-Zr-Nd Alloy}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Materials Forming}, volume = {8}, number = {2}, pages = {44-53}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Shiraz University}, issn = {2383-0042}, eissn = {2383-0042}, doi = {10.22099/ijmf.2021.39414.1173}, abstract = {Hot workability of as-extruded high Gd content Mg-5Gd-0,5Zn-0.5Zr-2.5Nd alloy was investigated using the hot compression test in a temperature range of 300-500 °C and strain rates of 0.001-1s-1.

Moreover, using the standard Arrhenius constitutive models, a mathematical equation was proposed for predicting the flow stress, and then the accuracy of the model was examined using standard verification methods. The increasing of temperature and strain rate, respectively, have a reverse and direct effect on the flow stress, which can be expressed using the Zener-Hollomon parameter with the activation energy of 304 kJ/mol. Since the potential dependence of the constants in the model has not been considered for any parameter, the accuracy of the standard model is low. It was found that the values of these constants depend on the strain, so for each of the constants, a relation was obtained in terms of strain to express this relation properly. The modified model not only precisely predicts the flow stress but also provides higher accuracy in predicting the trend of variation of stress due to the influence of metallurgical evolutions occurring during the process of hot deformation, such as dynamic recrystallization or softening and hardening.}, keywords = {Hot deformation,constitutive equation,Arrhenius model,deformation activation energy,Strain compensated}, url = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_6085.html}, eprint = {https://ijmf.shirazu.ac.ir/article_6085_edbdf041d3de1e2c7f8e2c44677da01f.pdf} }
