Abstract Scope |
Metal forming processes are characterized by strain path changes inducing strain gradients and underlying backstress fields in the material undergoing forming. This study seeks to build upon current state of the art by quantifying geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) at the slip-system level in the model using the local strain gradients. The model is exercised by replicating experiments undertaken on AA6016-T4, which are performed under multi-step strain paths: plain strain followed by simple tension, biaxial tension followed by simple tension, and simple tension followed by simple tension. Both GND and statistically stored dislocations (SSDs) are quantified at various stages using both high resolution electron backscatter diffraction (HREBSD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Comparisons of observed and simulated GND populations reveal that buildup of GNDs is dominated by precipitate distribution rather than by grain boundary (GB) networks; such precipitates are then included in the model to improve the predictions. |
