Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of damage simulation of high temperature forging of high strength aluminum alloy in metal plastic forming, and in particular to a damage simulation method based on DEFORM. BACKGROUND

[0002] Although the plasticity of high strength aluminum alloy is improved at high temperature, it is still prone to fracture defects in the forming process, which directly causes the parts to be scrapped, wastes the research and development, and increases the research and development time. Different materials have different plastic limits, so the fracture conditions in the forming process of different materials under the same process conditions are different, and it is necessary to predict in advance that the material is fractured in the forming process. Therefore, accurate simulation of the fracture condition in the metal plastic forming process is of great significance to die and process design.

[0003] Currently, the main software for simulating the fracture damage in the metal plastic forming process is DYNAFORM and DEFORM, which has multiple ductile fracture criteria built-in, and the user needs to input the relevant material parameters and critical damage coefficients, and the software automatically calculates the damage value through simulation. However, the ductile fracture criteria provided by the system are one-sided and insufficient to describe the fracture conditions of all forming processes under high temperature forging. Currently, for the ductile fracture criterion, researchers have developed a series of modified models based on the classic ductile fracture criterion, which are more suitable for fracture description under specific conditions. However, for forging under high temperature conditions, DYNAFORM and DEFORM cannot well handle new fracture models, and complex programming is required to achieve it (Feng Wei, Hua Lin, Han Xinghui, et al. A prediction method for microstructure evolution of 20CrMnTiH steel during hot deformation process:.) And the simulation of fracture through secondary development of DEFORM is more simple and flexible (Fu Xiuli. Method for judging thickness of DEFORM-3D simulation turning surface grain refinement layer:, 2015.). SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application aims to provide a simulation method for simulating fracture in forging based on secondary development of DEFORM, and a prediction method for fracture in the forming process considering the influence of temperature and strain rate on fracture according to different conditions, which improves the accuracy of simulation.

[0018] Further, the parameters include material constitutive model parameters, fracture criterion parameters, simulation control process parameters, mold motion speed and direction, assembly relationship, mesh division quantity, and related parameters of the initial temperature of the material.

[0019] Further, when the parameters are set, the part about the damage and fracture criterion needs to select the corresponding development model number.

[0020] Further, the ductile fracture criterion formula is:

[0021]

[0022] Wherein, epsilon f is the true strain at fracture, sigma * is the maximum principal stress, is the equivalent stress, T is the temperature, is the strain rate, represents the equivalent strain, D is the damage factor, is the damping coefficient, which is a function of temperature T and strain rate m1 is the influence factor of temperature on damage factor, m2 is the influence factor of strain rate on damage fracture, A and B are material coefficients.

[0023] Further, the temperature when calculating the damage value is the temperature of the integral point, and the integral point temperature is obtained by using the node temperature.

[0024] Further, the integral point temperature is denoted as T;

[0025]

[0026] Wherein, TEMPE(1), TEMPE(2), TEMPE(3), TEMPE(4), TEMPE(5), TEMPE(6), TEMPE(7), TEMPE(8) represent 8 values of the public variable node temperature referenced by the public region command.

[0030] Further, before the model is predicted, the model is meshed and the initial temperature of the model is defined according to the size of the material, the forming process and the establishment of the finite element model of simulation simulation.

[0031] Further, the simulation mode is set to heat transfer, and the heat dissipation mode is free heat dissipation.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0033] Compared with the toughness fracture criterion of the system itself, the application considers the influence of temperature and speed on the fracture in the high-temperature forging process, and the fracture criterion can improve the accuracy of simulation analysis, avoid unnecessary process parameter experiments in the actual production process, and provide a theoretical basis for the design and optimization of molds and parts.
