Abstract

Introduction. For pressure treatment of low-plastic metals, it is necessary to develop special techniques for increasing plasticity. In the cold state, an increase in plastic properties is possible due to an increase in the level of compressive stresses during deformation. In the processes of forging precipitation, this is achieved by using shells or clips of various types. At the same time, the configuration of the precipitation tool also matters. To create additional compressive stresses and increase the ductility of the metal, the working surface of the tool can be configured differently than with a normal free draft, where it is obviously larger than the contact surface area of the workpiece, so that metal broadening can occur. The stress state has a great influence on the plasticity of the processed material. This state is described by methods of tensor representation, but to assess the situation, it is customary to use invariants of tensors in one form or another, which eliminates the influence of coordinates on the results of the analysis. In the sections of deformable body mechanics dealing with the influence of the stress state on plasticity, the first, but sometimes other invariants of the stress tensor are used, the invariants themselves are transformed into the stress state indicator and the lode coefficient. The aim of the work: mathematical evaluation of invariant parameters of the stress state of the magnesium precipitation process at room temperature, according to the results of which it is possible to obtain a positive result in real experiments. Research methods: finite element simulation using the DEFORM software module. Results and discussion. The theoretical justification of increasing the plasticity of the magnesium billet in the process of precipitation in the cage without its compression is carried out. An increase in the stress state index modulo 2...5 times is revealed, which contributes to an increase in the plasticity of the metal. At the same time, a zone with a lode coefficient close to zero is identified. It is adjacent to the middle of the height of the workpiece at the point of contact with the cage and can be a dangerous cross-section from the position of crack formation.
