| Resumo: | The manufacturing of a functional hollow mechanical element or ring of the AA5083 alloy previously equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) processed, which presents a submicrometric microstructure, is dealt with. For this purpose, the design of two isothermal forging dies (preform and final shape) is carried out using the design of experiments (DOE) methodology. Moreover, after manufacturing the dies and carrying out tests so as to achieve real rings, themechanical properties of these rings are analysed as well as their microstructure. Furthermore, a comparison between the different forged rings is made fromECAE-processedmaterial subjected to different heat treatments, previous to the forging stage. On the other hand, the ring forging process ismodelled through the use of finite element simulation in order to improve the die design and to study the force required for the isothermal forging, the damage value, and the strain thematerial predeformed by ECAE has undergone.With this present research work, it is intended to improve the knowledge about the mechanical properties of nanostructured material and the applicability of this material to industrial processes that allow the manufacturing of functional parts. |
