Item Influence of Multi Axial Forging (MAF) on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cu-Ti Alloy(Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Ramesh, S.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.S.; Gopi, K.R.Multi axial forging (MAF) is one among the severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes, where large strains are imposed into the component. In the present work, as-received Cu-1.5%Ti alloy was subjected to MAF for 2 and 4 cycles at room temperature. Microstructure showed grain refinement after 2 and 4 cycles. Average grain size obtained for MAF processed samples after 2 and 4 cycles are 120 μm and 40 μm, respectively compared to initial grain size of 800 μm. The Mechanical properties were analyzed for as-received and MAF processed samples. Tensile test showed increased ultimate tensile strength (493 MPa) for MAF 4-cycle sample compared to as-received (191 MPa) condition with accumulated strain of 2.18 for 4 cycles. Increase in hardness was observed for MAF processed sample of 143 Hv for 4-cycle compared to as-received sample of 67 Hv. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.Item Development, Characterization, Mechanical and Corrosion Behaviour Investigation of Multi-direction Forged Mg–Zn Alloy(Springer International Publishing, 2019) Anne, G.; Ramesh, S.; Kumar, G.; Sahu, S.; Ramesh, M.R.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.; Arya, S.In the present study, homogenized Mg−4%Zn (wt%) alloy was exposed to multi-direction forging (MDF) at 280 °C up to 5 passes successfully. Microstructural evolution, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of the MDF-processed Mg−4%Zn alloy was investigated using different characterization techniques. Five passes of MDF (cumulative strain, ΣΔε = 3.45) led to the formation of ultrafine grain structure (grain size ~2.3 μm) with high angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) and high dislocation density. Corresponding ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and microhardness were observed to be 228 MPa and 88 Hv. Potentiodynamic polarization test results exhibited higher corrosion resistance (0.38 mm/y) in comparison with that of homogenized condition (1.33 mm/y). © 2019, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.Item Effect of Mechanical properties on Multi Axially Forged LM4 Aluminium Alloy(Elsevier Ltd, 2020) Sajjan, S.S.; Kulkarni, M.V.; Ramesh, S.; Sharath, P.C.; Kumar, V.; Rajole, S.Commercially available LM4 Aluminum alloy was subjected through Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) method by Multi-Axial Forging Process (MAF) in ambient temperature. In this process, the material was processed successfully up to 5 Passes and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, compression strength and hardness of the as received and processed samples at ambient temperature were evaluated. The MAF processed sample result showed that the ultimate strength, percentage elongation and compression strength improved by 55 MPa, 3.75% and 162 MPa respectively as compared with the unprocessed sample. Hardness also increased with the increase in the number of passes. In the case of microstructure, grain size reduced from 110 μm to 8 μm after subjecting the sample to MAF. Fractography explains the nature of the fracture from received to processed samples by decreasing the size of the dimple and the type of fracture observed was ductile in nature. Improvement in strength and hardness of processed samples was observed due to the grain refinement and high amount of density dislocation in the material during MAF. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.Item Microstructural and mechanical characterisation of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy processed by multi-directional cryo-forging(Elsevier Ltd, 2021) Ramesh, S.; Anne, G.; Naik, G.M.; Jagadeesh, C.; Shivananda Nayaka, H.S.Aim of the present investigation is to study the microstructural and mechanical properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy before and after multi-direction forging (MDF) at cryogenic condition up to 3 cycles. Microstructure evolution of specimen was examined using optical microscope and orientation imaging microscopy as well as X-ray diffraction. Mechanical properties were measured by tensile test and Vickers micro hardness. Microstructural investigation shows that after 3 cycle of MDF average grain size was reduced to 8 μm with low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) and high dislocation density. Mechanical examination displays an improvement in hardness, yield strength and ultimate tensile strength is due to increases in grain boundaries and strain hardening effect. After 3 cycles of MDF process with cumulative strain ςΔϵ = 3.64 led to the formation of fine grain structure, and microhardness were observed to be 168 HV. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
