Predicting the constitutive behavior of semi-solids via a direct finite element simulation: application to AA5182
نویسندگان
چکیده
The methodology of direct finite element (FE) simulation was used to predict the semi-solid constitutive behavior of an industrially important aluminummagnesium alloy, AA5182. Model microstructures were generated that detail key features of the as-cast semi-solid: equiaxed-globular grains of random size and shape, interconnected liquid films, and pores at the triple-junctions. Based on the results of over fifty different simulations, a model-based constitutive relationship which includes the effects of the key microstructure features— fraction solid, grain size and fraction porosity—was derived using regression analysis. This novel constitutive equation was then validated via comparison with both the FE simulations and experimental stress/strain data. Such an equation can now be used to incorporate the effects of microstructure on the bulk semi-solid flow stress within a macroscale process model.
