Aluminium alloys are being increasingly utilised in the automotive and aerospace industries
to reduce the weight of vehicles. Extensive research has been conducted to overcome the …

Microstructural evolution during hot forming of aluminium alloys plays a critical role in both
the material flow behaviour during the deformation and the post-form mechanical properties …

The processing regime relevant to superplasticity in the Ti–6Al–4V alloy is identified. The
effect is found to be potent in the range 850–900° C at strain rates between 0.001/s and …

In analysing metal forming processes the deformation mechanism map (elastic-plastic,
elastic-viscoplastic, or creep type behaviour) for a particular process is commonly built solely …

The flow characteristics and microstructure evolution of an aged nickel-based superalloy are
researched by thermal compression experiments at different temperatures (1223–1283 K) …

An alloy design approach for titanium alloys is presented. New alloys are isolated,
manufactured and tested with an emphasis on the superplastic response. The superplastic …

An internal-state-variable based self-consistent constitutive model was proposed for unified
prediction of flow stress and microstructure evolution during hot working of wrought two …

Hot tensile deformation behavior of AA7075 was studied on a Gleeble-3500 thermal
simulation machine. The deformation temperatures were 300° C, 350° C, 400° C, 450° C …

Complex curvature and/or high-stiffened components are often in the elastic-plastic
deformation range during the loading stage of creep age forming (CAF) process. Effects of …

During hot deformation, continuous dynamic recrystallisation (CDRX) is believed to occur,
and even dominates microstructural evolution in many metallic materials with high stacking …
