One of the key issues limiting the application of Al-Mg-Zn-Cu alloys in the automotive
industry is forming at a low cost. Isothermal uniaxial compression was accomplished in the …

The temperature-dependent work-hardening of AA6061-T6 aluminum alloy is investigated
using a combined experimental-numerical approach. Uniaxial tension experiments are …

The effect of Sc on microstructure and mechanical properties of A357 alloy was investigated
using sand molds and metal molds. The results showed that the eutectic Si in A357-0.5 Sc …

Hot compression experiments are performed to study the flow characteristics of a
homogenized Sr-modified Al-Si-Mg alloy at the temperatures of 300–420° C and strain rates …

Flow forming is a cold working process that makes it possible to produce high-precision thin-
walled rotational symmetric parts leading to increased mechanical properties. The backward …

FEA process modelling, which has seen plenty of development in recent decades, has
significantly simplified and broadened our capabilities for designing and optimising metal …

Spinning is a common processing method for ultra-thin-walled tube. However, it is
susceptible to surface ruptures in the deformation zone due to point-by-point contact, which …

An analysis of the hot flow forming of Mg-3.0 Al-1.0 Zn-0.3 Mn (AZ31B) alloy was conducted
by experiments and numerical simulations. The effects of different thickness reductions on …

To accurately predict the fatigue life of cast aluminum alloy wheels, based on the results of
finite element calculation and simulation, this work selected the rim area, inner flange and …

As an advanced plastic-forming method, counter-roller spinning (CRS) is mainly applied to
process large-sized, thin-walled cylinder for aerospace rocket engine. Medium carbon …
