Abstract: A three-dimensional finite element analysis is developed for the cold expansion process in two aluminum alloys, 2024-T351 and 7050-T7451. The entire cold working process including hole expansion, ...

Abstract: A trajectory optimization approach is applied to the design of a sequence of open-die forging operations in order to control the transient thermal response of a large titanium alloy billet. ...

Abstract: Deformation of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in the β phase field is generally considered to be trivial since the material is highly workable at these temperatures and does not normally pose problems during ...
