Miniaturized tube fixed plug drawing: determination of the friction coefficients and drawing limit of 316 LVM stainless steel

Jean-Marie Drezet, Stefano Mischler, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Bastien De Marco, Vance Nguyen, Stéphane Dobler

Tube drawing with a ﬁxed plug is investigated experimentally and numerically in order to optimise an industrial pass sequence. Tube drawings are performed on a laboratory drawing bench equipped with force, displacement and temperature sensors. The drawing ...

Stress generation during the quenching of large AA2618 forgings: Finite element computations and validation against neutron diﬀraction measurements

Jean-Marie Drezet, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Denis Carron

Solutionising and quenching are key steps in the fabrication of heat treatable aluminium parts such as AA2618 compressor impellers for turbochargers. Quenching not only dictates the mechanical characteristics of the product but also induces residual stress ...

Measurements and Modeling of Stress in Precipitation-Hardened Aluminum Alloy AA2618 during Gleeble Interrupted Quenching and Constrained Cooling

Jean-Marie Drezet, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Denis Carron

Solutionizing and quenching are the key steps in the fabrication of heat-treatable aluminum parts such as AA2618 compressor impellers for turbochargers as they highly impact the mechanical characteristics of the product. In particular, quenching induces re ...

Characterisation of precipitation upon cooling of an AA2618 Al-Cu-Mg alloy

Jean-Marie Drezet, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Denis Carron

The precipitation of an AA2618 Al-Cu-Mg alloy is monitored during isothermal holdings and continuous coolings. The Time-Temperature-Property and Continuous-Cooling-Precipitation diagrams of AA2618 are obtained using in-situ resistivity and differential sca ...

Quench-Induced Stresses in AA2618 Forgings for Impellers: A Multiphysics and Multiscale Problem

Jean-Marie Drezet, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Gilles Michel, Denis Carron

In the fabrication of heat-treatable aluminum parts such as AA2618 compressor impellers for turbochargers, solutionizing and quenching are key steps to obtain the required mechanical characteristics. Fast quenching is necessary to avoid coarse precipitatio ...

Quench induced residual stress prediction in heat treatable 7xxx aluminium alloy thick plates using Gleeble interrupted quench tests

Jean-Marie Drezet, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Patrick Schloth, Denis Carron

In this paper, a simple but realistic approach is presented to predict the as-quenched residual stress distribution in thick 7xxx aluminium alloy plates. Instead of modelling precipitation that occurs during quenching, a thermo-mechanical model is used who ...

Measurements and modelling of residual stresses during quenching of thick heat treatable aluminium components in relation to their precipitation state

Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut

In the fabrication of heat treatable aluminium parts, solutionising and quenching are key steps in order to obtain the required mechanical characteristics. Fast quenching is necessary to avoid coarse precipitation as this one reduces the mechanical propert ...

Prediction of quenching-induced stress distribution in 7XXX aluminium alloy thick plates using Gleeble interrupted quench tests

Jean-Marie Drezet, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Patrick Schloth, Denis Carron

In the fabrication of heat treatable aluminum parts for the aeronautic industry, quenching is a key step to obtain the required mechanical characteristics after aging. For thick plates, thermal gradients cause non-homogeneous plastic strain resulting in re ...

INTERNAL STRESS GENERATION DURING QUENCHING OF THICK HEAT TREATABLE ALUMINIUM ALLOYS

Jean-Marie Drezet, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicolas Paul Henry Chobaut, Patrick Schloth

In the current trend toward thicker aluminium plates, a major concern is the stress build-up during quenching which causes distortions during machining. Indeed, cooling rates are not high enough, especially at the core of such thick plates, to prevent any ...
