Research on Deformation Behavior of 2024 H18 Aluminum Alloy at Elevated Temperature

摘要

Uniaxial tensile deformation behavior of 2024 H18 aluminum sheet alloys was studied in the hot forming process with synchronous cooling temperature range of 300°C~475°C and in the strain rate range of 0.0005/s~0.1/s. The effects of temperature and strain rate on stress, elongation to facture were analyzed. And a constitutive model was proposed to describe the relationship of true stress-true stain by multiple linear regression analysis. It was found that the forming temperature and strain rate have great effect on the hot forming behavior of the alloys. The max stress reduced greatly with the increasing of temperature or reducing of strain rate, while the tensile elongation tended to rise first and then fall with the increasing of temperature and strain rate. The forming of 2024 H18 aluminum alloy at elevated temperature occurred with the strain hardening and dynamic softening. The constitutive model of 2024 H18 aluminum alloy agrees well with the experimental data.
