Change of Young's Modulus of Cold-Deformed Aluminum AA 1050 and of AA 2024 (T65): A Comparative Study

Abstract

The knowledge of some mechanical properties of materials and their changes with thermal treatments and/or mechanical treatments are essential to obtain the best results during simulation of processes. In this paper, changes of Young's modulus at room temperature of colddeformed aluminum AA1050 carried out in a tension machine and changes of Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of AA2024 (T6 and T65) have been determined. The elastics constants have been measured by the ultrasound technique in AA2024 alloy and by tensile test in AA1050. In this alloy, the Young's modulus (E) diminishes during the first step of deformation and then increases with the successive cold working. Changes in Young's modulus measured are around 6-8%. In AA2024, the Young's modulus change is about 3% between the annealed and quenched alloy (minimum value); during aging the E parameter increases with respect to quenching. These changes are correlated with the structural changes during thermal treatments. In AA2024, the E parameter remains almost constant during cold-working after the aging treatment. Poisson’s ratio of this alloy remains almost constant in all the treatments. These results are also correlated with the dislocations arrangement in both materials. This behaviour is also compared with cold-deformed pure iron in a tensile test. These results confirm that aluminum AA1050 present similar behaviour than it was observed for pure iron.

Strain path dependent stiffness degradation of a loaded sheet

“…In fact, the whole continuum damage mechanics is basically a subject about stiffness degradation. Other theories expose as a cause of stiffness degradation the microplastic strain [3] and changes in the dislocation arrangement [4]. In this work we will not directly address the cause of stiffness degradation, springback analysis, material processing or proper material modelling.…”

Can Young’s Modulus of Metallic Alloys Change with Plastic Deformation?

“…These results were recently confirmed using the ultrasonic transmission-reception method [9]. Villuendas et al [10,11] determined the behavior of Young's modulus of AA2024 and AA7075 cold deformed before or after aging. This parameter in solubilized, deformed and aged AA 7075 and AA 2024 were slightly lower (<2% reduction) than those of the undeformed specimens.…”

Carbon fibers derived from environmentally benign, ethanol-fractionated corn-stover lignin

“…It is noted that at 1.7 g cm −3 , current CFs are almost 30-40% lighter than glass bers, whose density is about 2.6 g cm −3 . 48 Both specic tensile properties of CS lignin-based CFs are higher than those of conventional structural materials such steel 51,52 [specic strength z0.1-0.3 GPa (g −1 cm 3 ), modulus z18-25 GPa (g −1 cm 3 )] and aluminum 53 [specic strength z0.2 GPa (g −1 cm 3 ), modulus z28 GPa (g −1 cm 3 )].…”
