Calibrating a Lode-Parameter-Dependent Damage Evolution Equation to Cold Extrusion Experiments

Article Preview

Abstract:

Forming processes significantly influence the product properties of a formed workpiece. Next to the effects of work hardening and residual stresses, the influence of ductile damage determines the final performance of a formed component. Thus, precise damage models are crucial for designing new forming process sequences. In general, this is achieved by modelling the evolution of damage as a function of hydrostatic and deviatoric stress, characterized by the stress triaxiality and the Lode-parameter. However, calibrating damage models to the effects of triaxiality and the Lode-parameter is not trivial, since experiments usually represent a combination of both influences. A recent experimental approach by the authors offers the possibility to vary the Lode-parameter in extrusion experiments while keeping the triaxiality constant. This paper aims to use this data of the isolated deviatoric effect on damage to calibrate a damage evolution equation. The model is calibrated to void area fraction measurements obtained by scanning electron microscopy of extruded case-hardening steel 16MnCrS5. For validation, the model predictions for non-constant Lode-parameter histories are compared to corresponding experiments. The model and experiments are in good agreement.
