Investigation on Dynamic Impact Effect of Ultrasonic-Assisted Compression Test

Abstract:

Ultrasonic-assisted metal forming have been studied numerously in conventional macro scale. However, ultrasonic dynamic impact effect, occurring in micro scale, has never been studied thoroughly, which makes the characteristics of material deformation more unpredictable in ultrasonic-assisted micro forming. The purpose of this study is to confirm the critical condition for occurrence of ultrasonic dynamic impact effect and to investigate the dimensional height dependency of ultrasonic dynamic impact effect on material deformation. In this paper, commercially pure aluminum 1100 with varying height (φ2×2mm, φ2×1.5mm, φ2×1mm) were selected for conventional static (without ultrasonic vibration) and ultrasonic-assisted compression tests. Ultrasonic-induced stress reduction was evaluated and the contour shape of deformed specimens was compared to investigate the ultrasonic dynamic impact effect on material deformation. The results showed that, as dimensional height of specimen decreased, ultrasonic vibration can reduce forming stress more effectively. In addition, a surprising anti-barreling shape and a significant contact surface area expansion were observed near contact surfaces in every specimen compressed with ultrasonic-assistance, indicating that additional plastic deformation can be produced by ultrasonic dynamic impact effect. An ultrasonic dynamic impact factor (y) is proposed and estimated by an exponential type trend line as y = 2.42e-1.48x for different dimensional specimen height (x) to quantify the ultrasonic dynamic impact effect. The promising prospect of ultrasonic vibration in micro-forming was demonstrated by the findings above, which helped to provide a basis to understand the underlying mechanism of ultrasonic-assisted micro forming and design the process in the future.
