Abstract Scope |
Rolled aluminum products have a wide range of applications including beverage packaging, automotive, aerospace, building and construction. Aluminum sheet manufacturing involves a series of complex thermal and mechanical processes. Each processing step is carefully designed to maximize throughput while achieving desired microstructural evolution for meeting product performance requirement of the final sheet product. One important processing step is annealing that induces static recrystallization of aluminum sheet, during which softer grains nucleate from heavily deformed grains with high dislocation densities. This microstructural evolution has significant influence on strength and anisotropy of the sheet product that can determine overall formability. Present study is based on a full-field cellular automata modeling framework that can be used to simulate recrystallization of aluminum alloys that can accurately simulate crystallographic texture change and recrystallization kinetics. The developed framework can be used to optimize annealing practice for different aluminum alloys. |
