Abstract
Abstract This study aims to develop a model to characterize the inhomogeneous material deformation behavior in micro-forming. First, the influence of individual grain heterogeneity on the deformation behavior of CuZn20 foils was investigated via tensile and micro-hardness tests. The results showed that different from thick sheets, the hardening behavior of grains in the deformation area of thin foils is not uniform. The flow stress of thin foils actually only reflects the average hardening behavior of several easy-deformation-grains, which is the reason that thinner foils own smaller flow stress. Then, a composite modeling method under consideration of individual grain heterogeneity was developed, where the effects of grain orientation and shape are quantitatively represented by the method of flow stress classification and Voronoi tessellation, respectively. This model provides an accurate and effective method to analyze the influence of individual grain heterogeneity on the deformation behavior of the micro-sized material.
