Strength–Energy and Structural Effects of Dynamic Deformation of Aluminum Alloy

Abstract:

This paper presents the results of dynamic deformation tests performed on aluminum alloy PA4. The studiem was carried out by using rotary hammer, in the range of high rate of deformation: 400 – 2000 s^-1. The test were carried using a rotary hammer of RSO type owned by Silesian Technical University in Institute of Technology Metals. Before the dynamic deformation, the heating treatment was carried out allowed for eliminating structural effects resulting from the previous technological treatments and for obtaining the homogenous grain structure. The tests were carried out with linear velocity in the range of 5 – 30 m/s. After deformation the following mechanical characteristics were determined: deformation limit ε_g, strain rate , tensile strength UTS, impact strength U. Independently of the dynamic deformation tests were carried out tensile test under static conditions. Moreover bending test were performed on Charpy type hammer with initial impact energy equal 300 J. The analysis of the microstructure was carried out using scanning electron microscopy Hitachi S–3400 N.
