Abstract
Hot plane strain compression tests on 1050, 1198, 3003 and 3004 aluminium alloys have been conducted. Based on these experiments and on a set of internal type constitutive equations for hot working, the values of the parameters in the constitutive functions are determined. The constitutive equations proposed here, with the constitutive functions and material parameters associated, accurately reproduce the basic tests. The procedure used to fit the material parameters is improved, in comparison with classical slip line analysis, by using a finite element modelling of the plane strain compression test. It is demonstrated that accurate plane strain or three-dimensional large strain finite element analysis can be used to correct the friction and lateral spread effects. Furthermore, it is demonstrated from comparison with the experimental observations that microstructural parameters can be accurately determined from numerical modelling. The constitutive equations and finite element procedure proposed here can be useful for obtaining an improved analysis of hot rolling of aluminium alloys.
