Item Precipitation hardening in Al-Zn-Mg-Al2O3(p) composite(1999) Kiran, K.S.; Srinivasan, K.The precipitation hardening of a Al-Zn-Mg-Al2O3(p) composite is explored. It is found that the peak hardness achieved is almost double that of precipitation hardening of Al-Zn-Mg alloy or dispersion strengthening of Al-Zn-Mg with 5% Al2O3(p). Toughness is marginally improved and tensile strength is one and half times that of precipitation hardened Al-Zn-Mg alloys. The ageing time for peak hardness is reduced due to acceleration of formation of precipitate. Indian Academy of Sciences.Item High temperature compression testing and determination of warm working temperature for commercial purity aluminium(1999) Rao, B.K.; Khadar, M.S.A.; Srinivasan, K.CP aluminium was subjected to axysymmetric compression testing at 303, 373, 473, 573 and 673 K. Strength coefficient and strain hardening exponent were determined from log-log plot of true stress and true strain at different temperatures. True stress vs temperature at different strains indicated that dynamic strain ageing (DSA) occurred between 473 and 673 K. Warm working is to be done between 423 K and 473 K, so that optimum substructure hardening and strain hardening can be achieved during mechanical processing. Indian Academy of Sciences.Item Hardness-stress-strain correlation in titanium open die extrusion: an alternative to visioplasticity(1999) Srinivasan, K.; Venugopal, P.A heterogeneous process such as open die extrusion has been done on CP titanium and the extent of heterogeneity has been determined. The pressure for carrying out the process has been calculated theoretically, measured experimentally and calculated indirectly from hardness measurement in the deformation zone. Hardness-stress-train correlation is very useful here. A nomogram has been given so that knowing, ?, ?, ? and hardness, the punch pressure can be read off. It is a steady-reckoner that is very relevant for the shop floor in industry or the laboratory.Item Hardness-stress-strain correlation in copper and brass through compression testing(1996) Dharmaveera, N.; Srinivasan, K.A simple method of characterizing local stress and local strain variation in metal working is suggested. It is an alternative to complex and time consuming visioplastic technique. A power law expression exists for hardness and strain similar to that of stress and strain. A linear expression relating hardness and stress has been estahlished. These are valid not only for pure metals but also for their alloys. Meshap Science Publishers.Item Hardness-stress-strain correlation in aluminium - A simpler alternative to visioplasticity in metal forming(1996) Dharmaveera, N.; Srinivasan, K.Local stress and strain variations in the deformation zone can be ascertained by measuring hardness. Hardness is correlated with strain and stress. The expressions discussed later are useful in determining the local variations in stress and strain from hardness measurement. It is a simple method compared to visioplasticity. One can estimate the forces required for a forming process. It helps in the choice of equipment, design of tooling and selection of lubricant for the particular process.Item Adiabatic and friction heating on the open die extrusion of solid and hollow bodies(1997) Srinivasan, K.; Venugopal, P.This paper deals with an experimental investigation concerning the open die extrusion (ODE) of three materials of varying physical properties and mechanical properties. Two geometrical configurations (solid and tube) and two methods (by direct and indirect techniques) were considered to examine the influence of these variables in the generation and retention of heat in the deformation zone with the objective of ensuring a greater achievable strain. Studies reveal that solid configuration supports the retention of heat as against tubular configuration. Low thermal conductivity, density, specific heat and high flow stress which characterise 99Ti make this material an excellent candidate for ODE as opposed to AISI 1020 steel and aluminium, which fail to meet all the above physical and mechanical properties. The indirect technique reduces the friction factor and thus enables greater strains to be achieved. 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
