Abstract

Hastelloy-X material is widely used in aircraft engines, furnaces, and chemical process components due to its excellent oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength. In the case of making plate-shaped parts, its quality can be improved by forming limit diagram (FLD), which can predict crack and failure of a product. However, experimental-based FLD can be costly and time-consuming. In this paper, we tried to predict the formability of Hastelloy-X through FE simulations using the GTN (Gurson-Tvergaard- Needleman) model. First, appropriate values for GTN model parameters were derived from RSM using tensile test. FLD based on GTN model was then obtained by applying derived parameters to FLD simulations. These obtained parameters can be used to predict the formability of sheet metal undergoing severe deformation processes in aircraft and gas turbine engine manufacturing.
