Numerical simulation of cryogenic cyclic closed-die forging of Cu: hardness distribution, strain maps and microstructural stability

Cyclic closed-die forging (CCDF) appears to be an easy to operate deformation process, which imposes high levels of strain, even on difficult-to-deform materials. However, despite said potential advantages, the CCDF at cryogenic temperatures has not yet been investigated. Copper samples with dimensi...

description Cyclic closed-die forging (CCDF) appears to be an easy to operate deformation process, which imposes high levels of strain, even on difficult-to-deform materials. However, despite said potential advantages, the CCDF at cryogenic temperatures has not yet been investigated. Copper samples with dimensions of 10 mm × 10 mm × 20 mm were processed in up to six passes with interpass rotation, enabling the samples to return approximately to their initial dimensions after each pass. The intensity and homogeneity of plastic deformation was evaluated by mapping the Vickers hardness over the entire surface of the sample, and the resulting maps were compared with the strain and stress distribution estimated by FEM numerical simulation. The deformed microstructures were examined by optical and transmission electron microscopy. Cryogenic CCDF has proved to be effective in suppressing the recovery mechanisms of Cu samples, resulting in finer and more heterogeneous strains distribution than those deformed at room temperature. However, long-term observations by TEM have shown that these microstructures are inherently unstable, so that hardness decreases 50% after two years.
