Da die Bleche in der automatisierten Umformtechnik stets mit Eigenspannungen und Verformungen angeliefert werden, ist dem eigentlichen Prozess ein Biegewechselrichten vorgestellt. Dadurch sollen vorhandene Eigenspannungen abgebaut und die Bleche gleichbleibende Eigenschaften, unabhängig vom Anlieferungszustand, bekommen. Ziel dieser Bachelorthesis ist es den Prozess des Biegewechselrichtens mit einem FEM-Programm zu modellieren. Hierzu ist es wichtig, die notwendigen Grundlagen im Bereich der Werkstoffmechanik, des Richtvorgangs, der FE-Methode und dem Umgang mit dem FE-Programm ABAQUS zu verstehen. Damit soll dann ein lauffähiges Modell mit ABAQUS erstellt werden und erste Untersuchungen über den Verlauf der Spannungen und Dehnungen im Werkstoff durchgeführt werden.
In this paper, the time- and temperature-dependent cyclic ratchetting plasticity of the nickel-based alloy IN100 is experimentally investigated in strain-controlled experiments in the temperature range from 300 °C to 1050 °C. To this end, uniaxial material tests are performed with complex loading histories designed to activate phenomena as strain rate dependency, stress relaxation as well as the Bauschinger effect, cyclic hardening and softening, ratchetting and recovery from hardening. Plasticity models with different levels of complexity are presented that consider these phenomena, and a strategy is derived to determine the multitude of temperature-dependent material properties of the models in a step-by-step procedure based on sub-sets of experimental data of isothermal experiments. The models and the material properties are validated based on the results of non-isothermal experiments. A good description of the time- and temperature-dependent cyclic ratchetting plasticity of IN100 is obtained for isothermal as well as non-isothermal loading with models including ratchetting terms in the kinematic hardening law and the material properties obtained with the proposed strategy.
Hot working tools are subjected to complex thermal and mechanical loads during service. Locally, the stresses can exceed the material’s yield strength in highly loaded areas. During production, this causes cyclic plastic deformation and thus thermomechanical fatigue, which can significantly shorten the lifetime of hot working tools. To sustain this high loads, the hot working tools are typically made of tempered martensitic hot work tool steels. While the annealing temperatures of the tool steels usually lie in the range of 400 to 600 °C, the steels may experience even higher temperatures during hot working, resulting in softening of the material due to changes in microstructure. Therefore, the temperature-dependent cyclic mechanical properties of the frequently used hot work tool steel 1.2367 (X38CrMoV5-3) after tempering are investigated in this work. To this end, hardness measurements are performed. Furthermore, the Institute of Forming Technology and Machines (IFUM) provides test results from cyclic tests at temperatures ranging from 20 °C (room temperature) to 650 °C. To describe the observed time- and temperature-dependent softening during tempering, a kinetic model for the evolution of the mean size of secondary carbides based on Ostwald ripening is developed. In addition, both mechanism-based and phenomenological relationships for the cyclic mechanical properties of the Ramberg- Osgood model depending on carbide size and temperature are proposed. The stress-strain hysteresis loops measured at different temperatures and after different heat treatments can be well described with the proposed kinetic and mechanical model. Furthermore, the model is suitable for integration in advanced mechanism-based lifetime models. However, since the Ramberg-Osgood model is not suitable for finite element implementation, a temperature-dependent incremental cyclic plasticity model is presented as well. Thus, softening due to particle coarsening can be applied in the finite element method (FEM). Therefore, a kinetic model is coupled with a cyclic plasticity model including kinematic hardening. The plasticity model is implemented via subroutines in the finite element program ABAQUS for implicit integration (subroutine called UMAT) and explicit integration (subroutine called VUMAT). The implemented model is used for the simulation of an exemplary hot working process to assess the effects of softening due to particle coarsening. It shows that the thermal softening at high temperatures, which occur over a long time at a mechanically highly loaded area, has a great influence. If this influence is not considered in tool design, an unexpected tool failure might occur bringing the production to a standstill.
In this paper the yield surface of a recently presented microstructure-based volume element of the gray cast iron material GJL-250 is assessed after different plastic loading histories. The evolution of the yield surface is investigated for different volumetric, deviatoric and uniaxial loadings. The micromechanical material properties of the metallic matrix and the graphite inclusions are validated by means experimental stress-strain hysteresis loops. The metallic matrix is modeled as elastic-plastic with a non-linear kinematic hardening law. The graphite inclusions are described by means of a volumetric strain state dependent Young’s modulus. The results show that the shape of the yield surface does not change significantly in comparison to the initial yield surface after pure deviatoric loadings. After volumetric loadings, the dependence of the material on the Lode angle is significantly reduced. Uniaxial tensile preloadings result in a deformed yield surface, whereby the magnitude of the deformation depends on the applied load. Uniaxial preloadings to compression do not change the shape of the initial yield surface.
In this paper, a temperature-dependent viscoplasticity model is presented that describes thermal and cyclic softening of the hot work steel X38CrMoV5-3 under thermomechanical fatigue loading. The model describes the softening state of the material by evolution equations, the material properties of which can be determined on the basis of a defined experimental program. A kinetic model is employed to capture the effect of coarsening carbides and a new isotropic cyclic softening model is developed that takes history effects during thermomechanical loadings into account. The temperature-dependent material properties of the viscoplasticity model are determined on the basis of experimental data measured in isothermal and thermomechanical fatigue tests for the material X38CrMoV5-3 in the temperature range between 20 and 650 ∘C. The comparison of the model and an existing model for isotropic softening shows an improved description of the softening behavior under thermomechanical fatigue loading. A good overall description of the experimental data is possible with the presented viscoplasticity model, so that it is suited for the assessment of operating loads of hot forging tools.
