Metal Fabrication and Forming - Microstructure and Crystal Plasticity
About
About the course
Course content
Descriptions are given of: (i) Common materials in fabrication and forming processes. (ii) Features of fabrication and forming processes (iii) Microstructure and texture development. (iv) Constitutive relation (relation between stress, strain, strain rate and temperature) in a deformation gap (rolling, extrusion or forging). (iii) Technological test methods (physical simulation). An introduction is given to texture and crystal plasticity and the influence on anisotropic mechanical properties. Furthermore, forming properties of plates and profiles are handled (localisation of strain, formability diagrams and damage evolution) Industrial rolling, extrusion and forging processes are considered in relation to microstructure control. Tool friction geometry tolerances, end-product properties (aluminium) are also treated.
Learning outcome
The subject provides the requisite understanding of metal plasticity during fabrication and forming based on chemical composition, microstructure and crystal plasticity evolution during plastic deformation processes, including the subsequent product properties.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises. Instruction is provided in English or Norwegian as needed. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
