Numerical Simulation of the Superplastic Forming Process of Weldalite (049) Alloy

摘要

In this study, the finite element method was used to model the cone test made of a high strength superplastic aluminum alloy (Weldalite 049) that is used in aerospace applications. The cone test was modeled to study the effect of forming conditions such as temperature and strain rate on the deformation behavior during the process. In the model, the nonlinear finite element analysis package ABAQUS 5.8 was used.
