Abstract: Refinement of the grain diameter of the micro structure of Aluminium foil with a thickness of 300μm has been done through the ARB process up to fourth cycles with 72 layers that are proven to increase formability in micro forming a cup. Grain size was measured from the full annealed condition, of the ARB process, and the results of ARB process followed by stress relieved. Formability of the formation of a cup which is expressed as the LDR has increased from 1.87 for the material conditions of full annealed to 2.00 for the ARB process followed by stress relieved in a single step process. In addition to improved formability obtained in a cup formation, grain refinement in the microstructure can also reduce cup earing and wrinkle on the cup wall.

Abstract: In this paper, a concurrent multiscale simulation strategy coupling atomistic and continuum models was proposed to investigate the three-dimensional contact responses of aluminum single crystal under both dry and lubricated conditions. The Hertz contact is performed by using both the multiscale and full molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for validation. From the contact area, kinetic energy and stress continuity aspects, the multiscale model shows good accuracy. It can also save at least five times the computational time compared with the full MD simulations for the same domain size. Furthermore, the results of lubricated contact show that the lubricant molecules could effectively cover the contact surfaces thereby separating the aluminum surfaces and bearing the support loads. Moreover, the surface topography could be protected by the thin film formed by the lubricant molecules. It has been found that the contact area decreases obviously with increasing the magnitude of load under both dry and lubricated contacts. Besides, a decrease in contact area is also seen when the number of lubricant molecules increases. The present study has confirmed that the dimension of lubricated contacts could be greatly expanded during the simulation using the proposed multiscale method without sacrificing too much computational time and accuracy.

Abstract: Hot strip rolling process is one of the most promising industrial processes to fabricate finished or semi-finished bulk products. Numerical analysis on the temperature and thermal stress distributions in a high speed steel work roll during hot rolling has been conducted based on a transient thermo-mechanical model. Influence of initial work roll body temperature on temperature and thermal stress has been discussed in detail by assuming different rolling stages. Compared to the work roll surface, stress is much smaller at depth of 2.1 mm and 5.0 mm, respectively. Results showed similar maximum circumferential thermal stress at both depths of 2.1 mm and 5.0 mm when the roll has initial temperature of 25 °C and 100 °C, but they are about 3 times and 8 times larger than at depth of 2.1 mm and 5.0 mm, respectively, when the initial temperature is 200 °C.

Abstract: Weight reduction is a major trend in the development of automotive, marine, and aerospace industry. Al alloys are the ideal choice for the lightweight design because of their superior mechanical properties and small mass density. In recent years, research results have demonstrated that plastic processing at cryogenic temperature can improve the mechanical properties of Al alloys. Herein, the mechanical properties of Al alloys at cryogenic environment as well as at room temperature are compared, and then the main progress is introduced in the development of fabrication of high‐performance Al alloys using cryo‐forming methods, such as cryorolling, asymmetric cryorolling, cryo‐extrusion, and cryo‐forging, with subsequent heat treatment. The grain refinement mechanism and the strengthening mechanism of Al alloys during various cryo‐forming processes are discussed. Finally, the potential development prospects of future researches in this field are proposed.

Abstract: An increasing number of industrial applications need superstrength steels. It is known that refined grains and nanoscale precipitates can increase strength. The hardest martensitic steel reported to date is C0.8 steel, whose nanohardness can reach 11.9 GPa through incremental interstitial solid solution strengthening. Here we report a nanograined (NG) steel dispersed with nanoscale precipitates which has an extraordinarily high hardness of 19.1 GPa. The NG steel (shock-compressed Armox 500T steel) was obtained under these conditions: high strain rate of 1.2 μs −1 , high temperature rise rate of 600 Kμs −1 and high pressure of 17 GPa. The mean grain size achieved was 39 nm and reinforcing precipitates were indexed in the NG steel. The strength of the NG steel is expected to be ~3950 MPa. The discovery of the NG steel offers a general pathway for designing new advanced steel materials with exceptional hardness and excellent strength.

Abstract: Pure copper after 300°C annealing has been processed by skin pass asymmetric rolling up to small and medium total reductions in this work to study the evolution of microstructure, mechanical properties and texture. Subsequent EBSD characterization shows that after 300 °C annealing, the grains equiaxed but the texture is still typical rolling texture. At small rolling reductions (5.0% and 11.8%), the microstructure did not change much, the stress increased, and the ductility were still high ( %), and the texture remained the same. At higher rolling reduction (32.0%), the grains were refined, the stress increased but the ductility decreased at the same time, and the texture remained the same. At medium rolling reduction (63.6%), the grains were further refined, the stress further increased, and the ductility further decreased, and the texture changed from typical rolling texture to shear texture at the edge and rolling texture at the centre.

Abstract: Keyhole mode Tungsten Inert Gas (K-TIG) welding is a novel advanced deep penetration welding technology which provides an alternative to high power density welding in terms of achieving keyhole mode welding. In order to facilitate welding procedure optimisation in this newly developed welding technology, the relationship among welding parameters, weld formation and tensile properties during the K-TIG welding was investigated in detail. Results show that except for travel speed, the heat input level also plays an important role in forming undercut defect by changing the plasma jet trajectory inside keyhole channel, leading to the formation of hump in the weld centre and exacerbation of undercut formation. Both undercut defect and root side fusion boundary can act as a stress concentration point, which affects the fracture mode and tensile properties considerably. The research results provide a practical guidance of process parameter optimisation and quality assurance for the K-TIG welding process.

Abstract: Lubricant has been widely applied to reduce wear and friction between the contact surfaces when they are in relative motion. In the current study, a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulation was specifically established to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the dynamic contact between two iron surfaces in a boundary friction system considering the mixed C4-alkane and nanoparticles as lubricant. The main research objective was to explore the effects of fluid and nanoparticles addition on the surface contact and friction force. It was found that nanoparticles acted like ball bearings between the contact surfaces, leading to a change of sliding friction mode to rolling friction mode. Under normal loads, plastic deformation occurred at the top surface because nanoparticles were mainly supporting the normal load. By increasing the number of C4-alkane molecules between two contact surfaces, the contact condition has been changed from partial to full lubrication. In addition, an attractive force from the solid–liquid LJ interaction between C4-alkane and surfaces was observed at the early stage of sliding, due to the large space formed by wall surfaces and nanoparticles. The findings in this paper would be beneficial for understanding the frictional behavior of a simple lubricant with or without nanoparticles addition in a small confinement.
