Process Simulation for Optimizing Superplastic Forming of Sheet Metal

Superplastic forming (SPF) is conducted in a heated, pressurized die where direct monitoring of critical SPF parameters is extremely difficult. Numerical models provide a critical means of tracking the forming process, allowing the applied gas pressure to be adjusted to maintain optimum SPF behavior throughout the forming process. This paper describes how the MARC finite element code was used t...

Experimental Study on Tensile Properties of a Novel Porous Metal Fiber/Powder Sintered Composite Sheet

A novel porous metal fiber/powder sintered composite sheet (PMFPSCS) is developed by sintering a mixture of a porous metal fiber sintered sheet (PMFSS) and copper powders with particles of a spherical shape. The characteristics of the PMFPSCS including its microstructure, sintering density and porosity are investigated. A uniaxial tensile test is carried out to study the tensile behaviors of th...

The Effect of Sheet Processing on the Microstructure, Tensile, and Creep Behavior of INCONEL

alloy 718 (IN 718) were characterized to identify processing-microstructure-property relationships. The alloy was sequentially cold rolled (CR) to 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, and 80 pct followed by annealing at temperatures between 954 °C and 1050 °C and the traditional aging schedule used for this alloy. In addition, this alloy can be superplastically formed (IN 718SPF) to a significantly finer gra...

Characterization of Tensile Mechanical Behavior of MSCs/PLCL Hybrid Layered Sheet

A layered construct was developed by combining a porous polymer sheet and a cell sheet as a tissue engineered vascular patch. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the influence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) sheet on the tensile mechanical properties of porous poly-(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) sheet. The porous PLCL sheet was fabricated by the solid-liquid phase separ...
