Characterizing the tensile behavior of double wire-feed electron beam additive manufactured "copper-steel" using digital image correlation
Get PDFThe paper presents the results of the evaluation of the mechanical characteristics of samples of multi-metal “copper-steel” structures fabricated by additive double wire electron beam method. The global and local mechanical characteristics were evaluated using uniaxial tensile tests and full-field two-dimensional digital image correlation (DIC) method. DIC revealed the peculiarities of the fracture stages: at the first stage (0.02<ε≤0.08) the formation of V-shaped shear lines occurs; at the second stage (0.08<ε≤0.15) transverse shear lines lead to the formation of a block structure; at the third stage (0.15<ε≤0.21) the plasticity resource ends in the central part of the two necks cracks are formed, and the main crack is the cause of the fracture of the joint. It is found that shear lines are formed first in copper and then propagate to steel. Electron microscopy proves that uniformly distributed iron particles could always be found in the “Fe-Cu” and “Cu-Fe” interfaces. Additionally, the evolution of average strain rates and standard deviations were measured (calculated) in the regions of necks in copper and steel regions. New shear approach shows that the most of angles for parallel shears components are ±45°, rupture angles are about 0°, and combined account of these two types of shears provides us additional discrete angles
In Situ Investigation of Strain Localization in Sintered, Porous Segmented Alumina
No full textEvaporation of paraffin and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene admixed with alumina powder for the slip casting and sintering process allowed the obtainment of segmented porous alumina ceramics with 50% total porosity, whose deformation behavior we studied. Structurally, these ceramic materials were composed of large and small pores, and a system of discontinuities subdividing the samples into segments. Using digital image correlation (DIC), strain distribution maps were obtained that allowed the observation of strain localization zones, where primary cracks propagated along the interblock discontinuities. Two stages were revealed to be responsible for different mechanisms that provided the sample with damage tolerance under compression loading: the first stage was crack propagation along the block boundaries, which was followed by the second stage of microcracking and fragmentation, consisting of filling of the free spaces with fragments, compaction band generation, and stabilization of the crack. Both stages comprise a cycle that is repeated again and again until the full volume of the sample is occupied by the compaction bands
