The Influence of Pre- Mechanical Friction Stir Processing on Stress State dependent Ductile Damage of 7075-T6 Aluminum Alloy

In this paper investigate the effects of friction stir pre-mechanical processing on damage evolution of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy by implementation of stress state dependent damage model which described in phenomenological way. For this purpose, specimens with special geometry were designed from sheet with friction stir pre-mechanical processing and without it of mentioned alloy. Each of these specimens demonstrate special stress state at fracture location in uniaxial tensile test. Material parameters determine for two different fracture initiation models, Xue and Hosford-Coulomb by using experimental result. By using each of these models, plastic strain to fracture surface obtained at stress state parameters for pre-mechanical friction stir condition and without it which can use to specify strain plastic to fracture for different stress state at different pre-mechanical friction stir and without it for this material. Also a phenomenological stress state dependent damage model and evolution of it investigated for this material at different pre-mechanical friction stir and without it by using these models. The experimental results show increase of plastic strain of material because of pre-mechanical friction stir and damage model show decrease of evolution of ductile damage because of this pre-mechanical processing. Also by comparing of damage result which obtained by using two different fracture initiation, Xue and Hosford-Coulomb conclude that using Xue model has better result than Hosford-Coulomb model and this model has more reliability to predict evolution of internal damage for this material and this model fracture surface has good compatibility with experimental results.
