Super plasticity - Summary

Motivations:

 

· Manufacturing monolithic parts in Aerospace industry

· It is widely used for engineering materials and MMCs

· Due to complication involved less FEM simulation could be found in the literature compare to experimental works

 

Objectives:

 

· Providing a simulation tool for reducing costs and efforts

· Advising on the optimum manufacturing scheme

 

Results:

 

· The ISS superplasticity mechanism in some MMCs was successfully modelled.

· Some necking effects of larger constant mechanical stresses used in ISS method was identified. This is the thing which could not be measured by the available precision tools.

· In long run it appears as a major defect and deteriorates the part at service in a much shorter time than expected.

· Some modifications for the manufacturing methods in ISS have been offered, so far.
