Mechanical behavior of extruded powder aluminum subjected to biaxial loadings at elevated temperature

摘要

The goal of this investigation is to develop a description of the biaxial behavior of extruded powder aluminum at elevated temperature. Specimens made of extruded 101 ALCOA (Aluminum Company of America) powder aluminum and specimens made from 1100 commercial aluminum rod are tested biaxially in tension-torsion and compression-torsion loadings at the extrusion temperature. The powder aluminum is examined microscopically and stereological methods are used to give a quantified description of the material behavior in terms of changes in the laminar powder material structure. A model for the biaxial (tension-torsion) behavior of extruded powder aluminum is developed. This description is consistent with a previous analysis of behavior in pure tension.
