Determining the anisotropy coefficients of an ultra fine grained AI6082 alloy subjected to ECAP

摘要

Bulk A16082 alloy is subjected to ECAP using route Bc. This paper focuses on the determination of the anisotropy coefficients and equivalent stress-equivalent strain curve using continuum mechanics equations. Assuming the material to be rigid-plastic, the parameters of the constitutive equation are determined with the aid of measuring the deformation and the uniaxial yield stress during upsetting tests in three perpendicular directions.
