Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of mechanical property prediction technology for metallic materials, and particularly to a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for predicting the mechanical properties of metallic materials. Background Technology

[0002] The mechanical properties of metallic materials are crucial for component selection, engineering design, safety assessment, and quality control. Different material types, different manufacturing processes even with the same material, and different material states (such as different heat treatment states) all affect the mechanical properties of metallic materials. In mechanical engineering, the most commonly used methods for testing the mechanical properties of metallic materials include uniaxial static tensile testing (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation) and hardness. Compared to uniaxial static tensile testing, hardness testing is widely used due to its advantages such as requiring smaller sample sizes, direct testing on the part surface without damaging the part, simpler sample preparation, faster testing, and lower cost. How to quickly and relatively accurately predict and evaluate the mechanical properties of metallic materials is a common goal pursued by the materials industry.

[0003] Currently, the industry's methods for predicting the mechanical properties of metallic materials can be mainly summarized into the following three approaches: ① Based on a large amount of measured data, the relationships between variables are constructed using methods such as the least squares method, and then the measured results are substituted into the relational formula to predict the remaining variables. For example, the mechanical property prediction method for LF2 aluminum tubes given in patent document CN118010493A; ② Based on machine learning or large-scale model algorithms, a model is trained, and then mechanical property prediction is carried out based on the model. For example, a method for predicting the yield strength of titanium alloys based on thermal expansion curves and machine learning is disclosed in patent document CN121215129A; ③ Through regression analysis of measured data, combined with casting mold flow analysis software, casting performance prediction is carried out. This performance prediction method is similar to the aforementioned ① and ② processes, the difference being that it also requires the use of casting mold flow analysis software to calculate variables such as internal defects, microstructure, and solidification characteristics of the casting.

[0004] However, the above methods require a large amount of test data for fitting or the use of algorithms such as machine learning, making them relatively complex to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Example 1 Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for predicting the mechanical properties of metallic materials according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This method is applicable to predicting the mechanical properties of metallic materials. The method can be executed by a device for predicting the mechanical properties of metallic materials. This device can be implemented by software and / or hardware and is generally integrated into an electronic device. In this embodiment, the electronic device includes, but is not limited to, devices such as computers.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, a method for predicting the mechanical properties of metallic materials includes the following steps: S110. Obtain the mechanical properties and first hardness value of the reference material under the first processing technology, wherein the mechanical properties include at least the first stress-strain curve and the elastic modulus.

[0021] The reference material can be a material whose mechanical properties have been actually measured. The processing technology can be a post-processing technology for the material, such as heat treatment or cold plastic deformation. In this embodiment, "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish different objects. The first hardness value can refer to the hardness value of the reference material, which refers to the material's ability to resist indentation, scratching, or frictional wear by a hard object. Mechanical properties can refer to the general physical characteristics exhibited by a material under external force. Here, mechanical properties can be measured under tests such as uniaxial static tension, multiaxial static tension, and uniaxial static compression. For example, the mechanical properties described in this invention include at least stress-strain curves, elastic modulus, mechanical bearing capacity, yield strength, and total elongation at break. The stress-strain curve can refer to a curve in a coordinate system where the horizontal axis is strain and the vertical axis is stress. The elastic modulus can refer to the ratio of stress to strain during the elastic deformation stage of a material. The mechanical bearing capacity can refer to the maximum stress that a metallic material can withstand before fracture. Depending on the testing method, the mechanical bearing capacity can be tensile strength or compressive strength, etc. Yield strength refers to the critical stress value at which a material undergoes significant plastic deformation. Total elongation at fracture refers to the ratio of the total elongation of the material at the moment of fracture to the extensometer gauge length.

[0022] In this embodiment, the mechanical properties and first hardness value of the reference material under the first processing technology can be obtained.

[0023] S120. Measure the second hardness value of the material to be predicted under the second processing technology, wherein the material to be predicted and the reference material are the same type of metal material.

[0024] The material to be predicted can be any material whose mechanical properties need to be predicted. The material to be predicted and the reference material are of the same type of metallic material. For example, both the material to be predicted and the reference material can be aluminum alloys. The heat treatment or cold plastic deformation processes of the material to be predicted are different from those of the reference material, but the processing processes other than heat treatment or cold plastic deformation are the same as those of the reference material.

[0025] In this embodiment, the second hardness value of the material to be predicted under the second processing technology can be measured.

[0026] S130. Based on the mechanical properties, the first hardness value, and the second hardness value, predict the yield strength value and the second stress-strain curve of the material to be predicted under the second processing process.

[0027] In this embodiment, the yield strength and second stress-strain curve of the material to be predicted under the second processing process can be predicted based on the mechanical properties of the reference material, the first hardness value and the second hardness value.

[0028] In one embodiment, predicting the yield strength and second stress-strain curve of the material to be predicted under a second processing process based on the mechanical properties, the first hardness value, and the second hardness value includes: determining the hardness value variation ratio of similar metallic materials under different processing processes based on the first hardness value and the second hardness value; determining the second yield strength point of the material to be predicted under the second processing process based on the mechanical properties, the hardness value variation ratio, and the stress corresponding to a specified plastic elongation; using the stress value corresponding to the second yield strength point as the yield strength value of the material to be predicted under the second processing process; and predicting the second stress-strain curve of the material to be predicted under the second processing process based on the first stress-strain curve, the second yield strength point, and the curve generation conditions.

[0029] The specified plastic elongation rate is 0.2%.

[0030] In this embodiment, the hardness value variation ratio of the same type of metal material under different processing processes can be determined based on the first hardness value and the second hardness value. Based on the mechanical properties, the hardness value variation ratio, and the stress corresponding to the specified plastic elongation, the second yield strength point of the material to be predicted under the second processing process is determined. Then, the stress value corresponding to the second yield strength point is used as the yield strength value of the material to be predicted under the second processing process. According to the first stress-strain curve, the second yield strength point, and the curve generation conditions, the second stress-strain curve of the material to be predicted under the second processing process is predicted.

[0031] In one embodiment, the curve generation condition is: the second stress-strain curve and the first stress-strain curve have the characteristics of the same family of curves, where the same family of curves means that the slope of the elastic deformation segment between the curves is the same, and the plastic deformation segment can be fitted by translation and / or amplification.

[0032] The stress-strain curve can be divided into an elastic deformation segment and a plastic deformation segment. The elastic deformation segment refers to the section of the stress-strain curve where the material undergoes only reversible deformation after the load is applied and can completely recover its original shape after unloading. The plastic deformation segment refers to the section of the stress-strain curve where the material undergoes irreversible permanent deformation after the stress exceeds the elastic limit.

[0033] In this embodiment, the curve generation condition can be that the second stress-strain curve and the first stress-strain curve have the characteristics of the same family of curves, that is, the curves have similar shapes and change rules, the slopes of the elastic deformation segments of the curves are the same, and the plastic deformation segments can be fitted by translation and / or amplification. Translation in the coordinate system can refer to translation up and down along the vertical axis.

[0034] In one embodiment, determining the second yield strength point of the material to be predicted under the second processing step based on the mechanical properties, the hardness value variation ratio, and the stress corresponding to the specified plastic elongation includes: generating a ray with the same slope as the elastic modulus, starting from the specified plastic elongation ratio on the horizontal axis of the coordinate system where the first stress-strain curve is located; taking the point on the first stress-strain curve corresponding to the stress corresponding to the specified plastic elongation ratio as the first yield strength point in the first stress-strain curve; and finding a point on the ray that meets a preset condition based on the first yield strength point and the hardness value variation ratio as the second yield strength point of the material to be predicted under the second processing step; wherein the preset condition is that the ratio between the vertical coordinate of the first yield strength point and the vertical coordinate of the second yield strength point is the same as the hardness value variation ratio.

[0035] The preset condition can refer to the ratio between the ordinate of the first yield strength point and the ordinate of the second yield strength point, which is the same as the change ratio of the hardness value.

[0036] In this embodiment, a ray with the same slope as the elastic modulus can be generated, starting from the plastic elongation rate on the horizontal axis of the coordinate system where the first stress-strain curve is located. The intersection of this ray and the first stress-strain curve can be used as the first yield strength point in the first stress-strain curve. Based on the first yield strength point and the change ratio of the hardness value, a point that meets the preset conditions can be found on the ray, and this point can be used as the second yield strength point of the material to be predicted under the second processing process.

[0037] S140. Based on the second hardness value, the preset relationship between mechanical bearing strength and hardness value, and the second stress-strain curve under the second processing technology, predict the mechanical bearing strength value and total elongation at break of the material to be predicted under the second processing technology.

[0038] The preset relationship between mechanical bearing strength and hardness value can be determined based on the mechanical bearing strength and hardness value of the reference material.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mechanical bearing strength and total elongation at break of the material to be predicted under the second processing process can be predicted based on the second hardness value, the preset relationship between the mechanical bearing strength and the hardness value, and the second stress-strain curve under the second processing process.

[0040] In one embodiment, predicting the mechanical bearing strength and total elongation at break of the material to be predicted under the second processing process based on the second hardness value, the preset relationship between the mechanical bearing strength and the hardness value, and the second stress-strain curve under the second processing process includes: predicting the mechanical bearing strength of the material to be predicted under the second processing process based on the second hardness value and the preset relationship between the mechanical bearing strength and the hardness value; and determining the total elongation at break of the material to be predicted under the second processing process based on the mechanical bearing strength value and the second stress-strain curve.

[0041] In this embodiment, since the relationship between mechanical bearing strength and hardness value of similar materials remains within a certain range under different processing techniques, the mechanical bearing strength value of the material to be predicted under the second processing technique can be predicted based on the second hardness value and the preset relationship between mechanical bearing strength and hardness value. Based on the mechanical bearing strength value and the second stress-strain curve, the total elongation at break of the material to be predicted under the second processing technique can be determined.

[0042] In one embodiment, determining the total elongation at break of the material to be predicted under the second processing step based on the mechanical bearing strength value and the second stress-strain curve includes: taking the point on the second stress-strain curve where the stress value is equal to the mechanical bearing strength value as the fracture point of the material to be predicted under the second processing step; and taking the strain value corresponding to the fracture point as the total elongation at break of the material to be predicted under the second processing step.

[0043] The fracture point can refer to the characteristic point in the stress-strain curve where the material fails due to fracture.

[0044] In this embodiment, the point on the second stress-strain curve where the stress value is equal to the mechanical bearing strength value can be taken as the fracture point of the material to be predicted under the second processing process, and the strain value corresponding to the fracture point can be taken as the total elongation at fracture of the material to be predicted under the second processing process.

[0045] S150. The second stress-strain curve, yield strength value, mechanical bearing strength value and total elongation at break under the second processing technology are used as the predicted mechanical properties of the material to be predicted under the second processing technology.

[0046] In this embodiment, the predicted second stress-strain curve, yield strength value, mechanical bearing capacity value, and total elongation at break under the second processing technology can be used as the predicted mechanical properties of the material to be predicted under the second processing technology.

[0047] The method of this invention can be based on the following principles: (1) For the same type of material, since the elastic modulus of the material is related to the interatomic forces, and the interatomic forces depend on the nature of the metal atoms and the crystal lattice type, heat treatment and cold plastic deformation have little effect on the elastic modulus of the material. When predicting and evaluating the mechanical properties of metallic materials, it can be assumed that the elastic modulus of the same type of material is basically the same. That is to say, when this type of material undergoes uniaxial static tensile or compression tests, the slope of the elastic segment of its stress-strain curve is the same.

[0048] (2) It is believed that when the same material and the same preparation process are used, but the heat treatment conditions are different, the uniaxial static tensile or static compressive stress-strain curves under different heat treatment conditions have the same family characteristics. Taking uniaxial static tensile stress as an example, the concept of family is defined as follows: multiple uniaxial static tensile stress-strain curves have similar shapes and variation patterns. The slope of the elastic deformation segment of each stress-strain curve is the same, and the plastic deformation segment can be fitted by simple translation, magnification and other operations.

[0049] (3) For materials of the same type and preparation process but different heat treatment states, when the internal and surface defects affecting mechanical properties such as microstructure and structure are negligible, the ratio of yield strength to mechanical bearing capacity, the ratio of mechanical bearing capacity to hardness, and the ratio of yield strength to hardness should be within a specific range. When conducting prediction and calibration of the mechanical properties of metallic materials, the above three ratios are assumed to be constant or within a certain range.

[0050] This invention provides a method for predicting the mechanical properties of metallic materials, comprising: acquiring the mechanical properties and a first hardness value of a reference material under a first processing step, wherein the mechanical properties include at least a first stress-strain curve and an elastic modulus; measuring the second hardness value of a material to be predicted under a second processing step, wherein the material to be predicted is a metallic material of the same type as the reference material; predicting the yield strength and a second stress-strain curve of the material to be predicted under the second processing step based on the mechanical properties, the first hardness value, and the second hardness value; predicting the mechanical bearing capacity and total elongation at break of the material to be predicted under the second processing step based on the second hardness value, a preset relationship between the mechanical bearing capacity and the hardness value, and the second stress-strain curve under the second processing step; and using the second stress-strain curve, yield strength, mechanical bearing capacity, and total elongation at break under the second processing step as the predicted mechanical properties of the material to be predicted under the second processing step. This method predicts the mechanical properties of the material to be predicted under other processing steps by using the mechanical properties and hardness values ​​of a similar metallic material under a certain processing step, thus accurately predicting the mechanical properties of the material to be predicted and solving the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to simply, conveniently, and accurately predict the mechanical properties of metallic materials.

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, modified embodiments of the above embodiments are proposed. It should be noted that, in order to keep the description brief, only the differences from the above embodiments are described in the modified embodiments.

[0052] In one embodiment, after obtaining the predicted mechanical properties of the material to be predicted under the second processing process, the method further includes: determining a first ratio based on the yield strength value and the mechanical bearing strength value under the second processing process; determining a second ratio based on the yield strength value and the second hardness value under the second processing process; and when the difference between the first ratio and the first preset ratio exceeds the first difference, and / or the difference between the second ratio and the second preset ratio exceeds the second difference, regenerating the second stress-strain curve and determining the predicted mechanical properties.

[0053] The first preset ratio can refer to the ratio of the yield strength to the mechanical bearing capacity of the reference material, and the second preset ratio can refer to the ratio of the yield strength to the hardness of the reference material. The first and second differences can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit them.

[0054] In this embodiment, the ratio of the yield strength value to the mechanical bearing strength value under the second processing process can be used as the first ratio, and the ratio of the yield strength value to the hardness value under the second processing process can be used as the second ratio. The first ratio is compared with the first preset ratio, and the second ratio is compared with the second preset ratio. When the difference between the first ratio and the first preset ratio exceeds the first difference, and / or the difference between the second ratio and the second preset ratio exceeds the second difference, the second stress-strain curve is regenerated and the predicted mechanical properties are determined.

It exhibits high accuracy in predicting the uniaxial static tensile mechanical properties of similar materials, using the same preparation process, but under different heat treatment conditions. This mechanical property prediction and calibration method can also be extended to predict the mechanical properties of different materials and under different preparation processes.
