Effect of Strain Rate on Constitutive Behavior of AA-5052 H34

Abstract:

This paper presents the experimental results to analyze the strain rate sensitivity of aluminium alloy AA-5052 H34. The experiments were carried out under uniaxial tension as well as compression. Tensile tests were carried out with UTM (Zwick Z-250) in the strain rate range of 10-4 to 10-1 s-1 using standard ASTM specimen with gauge length 50mm. Compression tests were carried out in the strain rate range of 10-4 to 103 s-1 using UTM and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. Cylindrical specimens of 10mm diameter and 10mm thickness were used for compression experiments. The material showed negative strain rate sensitivity in strain rate from 10-4 to 1 s-1 but showed positive strain rate sensitivity when strain rate increased to 103 s-1. The material was found to be susceptible to Portevin–Le Chatelier effect.
