Dynamic Mechanical Behaviors of 6082-T6 Aluminum Alloy

الملخص EN

The structural components of high speed trains are usually made of aluminum alloys, for example, 6082.

The dynamic mechanical behavior of the material is one of key factors considered in structural design and safety assessment.

In this paper, dynamic mechanical experiments were conducted with strain rate ranging from 0.001 s−1 to 100 s−1 using Instron tensile testing machine.

The true stress-strain curves were fitted based on experimental data.

Johnson-Cook model of 6082-T6 aluminum alloy was built to investigate the effect of strain and strain rate on flow stress.

It has shown that the flow stress was sensitive to the strain rate.

Yield strength and tensile strength increased with a high strain rate, which showed strain rate effect to some extent.

Fracture analysis was carried out by using Backscattered Electron imaging (BSE).

As strain rate increased, more precipitates were generated in fracture.
