Physical mechanisms of ductile damage in metal forming, experimental characterization
methods for damage, and models predicting the damage level in formed components are …

Casting metal products are characterized by undesired void defects due to the shrinkage
occurring during the solidification of molten material. In order to deliver safe and sound …

In this study, experimental investigations were conducted on low-porosity sandstone
specimens to reveal their pre-peak cracking characteristics under constant mean stress (σ …

Pores are often present in large aluminum ingots after casting. To ensure the mechanical
reliability of the final thick plates, these pores must be closed during the forming process, hot …

Highlights•The isothermal compression of four typical microstructures for Ti-6Al-4V is
studied.•A modified HS CE considering the alpha/beta structure is proposed and …

Large numbers of voids inevitably exist in the metal ingot due to non-equilibrium
solidification. Forging is an important technique to eliminate such internal defects and obtain …

The void closure model is urgently needed for the subsequent hot forming process of
additive manufacturing (AM) products. The influence of temperature, Lode parameter, and …

Interrupted in situ tests at high temperature characterized with X-ray microtomography were
employed to study porosity evolution under loading conditions representative of aluminum …

In the present research, void closure during the open die forging process of large size
AISI410 martensitic stainless-steel ingots was studied using a combination of analytical …

The porosity closure model is urgently needed to design and optimize the metal forming
process. A high and accurate mean filed model is developed by Representative Volume …
