This paper explores the influence of processing parameters setting on aluminum alloy sheet rolling process with help finite element simulation, and mainly carries out design numerical simulation processing, manufacturing production from way analysis, optimizes parameters, improves yield efficiency, thus brings great economic value.

Fukui’s conical cup test is the one of the formability characteristics evaluation for various sheet metals. The formability characteristics such as diametrical ratio, maximum drawing load, depth of cup up to fracture are to be evaluated. This test is related to drawing test. This test can be performed by using parameters such as friction, process parameters and without blank holder. In fukui’s ...

We present experimental and theoretical studies on terahertz surface plasmon (TSP) propagation on slit and rectangular aperture arrays in an aluminum sheet. Terahertz waves are coupled onto the plasmonic structures via a parallel plate waveguide. Long-lasting oscillations are observed in the temporal pulse shape after propagating through the periodic structure, whose Fourier transformation into...

Laser beam welding has wide acceptability due to least welding distortion, low labour costs and convenient operation. However, laser welding for dissimilar titanium and aluminium alloys is a new area which is having wider applications in aerospace, aircraft, automotive, electronics and other industries. The present study is concerned with welding parameters namely laser power, welding speed, fo...

A repeated thermomechanical treatment (RTMT) was adopted to control the microstructure of a glass-balloon-dispersed aluminum alloy (AC3A) composite. The RTMT, which involves the repetition of a multi-step process and followed by heat treatment, was applied to a cast plate of the composite. The composite was successfully worked into a rod or sheet by either swaging or flat rolling. The porous gl...

We study the scaling properties of randomly folded aluminum sheets of different thicknesses h and widths L . We found that the fractal dimension D=2.30+/-0.01 and the force scaling exponent delta=0.21+/-0.02 are independent of the sheet thickness and close to those obtained in numerical simulations with a coarse-grained model of triangulated self-avoiding surfaces with bending and stretching ri...

A new and innovative approach is presented to integrate sensors in materials and set up “smart materials”. Semi-finished parts are functionalized by printed sensors and printed interconnects. These functionalized parts are then further processed to components. This is a new and simple approach to integrate sensors in a material. Two examples of printed sensors and the process of integration are...
