The current study focus on investigating a relationship between processing variables and microstructure evolution mechanism in 304L stainless steel subjected to hot torsion. The Gleeble 3800 with Mobile Torsion Unit (MTU) is utilized in the current study to conduct hot torsion test of 304L stainless steel. Samples are rotated at 1100℃ in the shear strain rate range of 0.02s-1 to 4.70s-1 and the shear strain range of 0.5 to 4. Orientation imaging microscopy (OIM) technique is used to collect and analyze the microstructure. At low strains (≤1) and strain rate (0.02s-1), average grain size remains relatively constant, but the lengths …

Two Dimensional Friction Stir Welding Model With Experimental Validation, Charles Blake Owen
Theses and Dissertations
The performance of a coupled viscoplastic model of FSW has been evaluated over a variety of tool RPMs and feed rates. Initial results suggested that further optimization of the material parameters and an additional ability to model the thermal recovery of the material would improve the overall performance of the model. Therefore, an experimental/numeric approach was taken to improve and quantitatively compare the performance of the model based upon the thermal profile of the workpiece. First, an experimental method for obtaining real-time temperature measurements during Friction Stir Processing (FSP) of 304L Stainless Steel was developed. The focus of the method …
