Hot Stamping of High Strength Steel Parts for Automotive

Applications

Dr. D. Ravi Kumar

Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi

ABSTRACT
The ultra-high strength steels (UHSS) are required for manufacturing chassis components such as
A/B-pillar reinforcements, bumpers, door beams, roof rails and other structural members due to their
high strength. Hot stamping is becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry for producing
high strength sheet metal parts due to the demand for vehicle weight reduction and improved
crashworthiness. In hot stamping, components are manufactured by austenizing boron steel blanks
in a furnace and then simultaneously forming and quenching them within a cooled die. As the blank
is quenched within the tool at a rate greater than 30°C/s, the austenitic microstructure transforms into
martensite. A fully martensitic microstructure is generally desired due to very high tensile strengths
of approximately 1500 MPa. The main focus areas in hot stamping research are: material and coating,
deformation behavior at elevated temperatures and material models, effect of hot stamping on formability,
friction and lubrication, heat transfer, hot stamping presses and final properties of the component. The
high tensile strength achievable by hot stamping is beneficial where the intrusion during a vehicle crash
is not desirable in locations such as the vehicle occupant compartment. On the other hand, there is
a need for higher ductility in certain zones to absorb crash energy by plastic deformation. The local
adjustment of the final properties within different areas in a single part using hot stamping is commonly
referred to as tailored hot stamping. This can be achieved by using tailored blanks and tailor welded
blanks in hot stamping.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING: AN ESSENTIAL DOCTOR FOR A
PATIENT NAMED STRUCTURE/COMPONENT

Dr. M. Phani Surya Kiran

Scientist ‘D’, Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory, Hyderabad

ABSTRACT
Modern day requirements pose unique challenges in the design and development of structures/
components/products across various industries. In order to successfully develop these challenging
component and products, a consortium approach of academia, R&D and industry is envisaged.
However, the role of each of these three facets of personnel in design and development is restricted
by the availability of funds and opportunities available. In spite of several successful partnership
models between academia, R&D and industry, the challenge of reliability of a component is
paramount in nature. This poses severe demand for successful implementation of non-destructive
techniques all through the design, development and production stage. In addition, the role of NDT
is far more envisaged during the life enhancement or revision stage due to the high cost in developing
new technologies. Amongst the existing life enhancement methodologies based on fatigue design,
damage tolerance occupies a prominent role.
The current generation of aircraft structures are being designed using a damage tolerance based
approach. The concept of damage tolerance was introduced in an attempt to allow each individual
component in an engineering structure to be used to the limit of its ability. Depending on the materials
used in manufacture, many engineering components can tolerate the presence of defects provided
they do not exceed some critical size. The critical size is the point at which the defect becomes
unstable and very rapid crack growth to final failure may be expected. Damage tolerance allows
each individual part to be operated until a crack is detected by the best available inspection method.
Hence, knowledge of conventional and advanced NDT techniques and their limitations are important
for efficient lifing of aero engines.
This presentation will start with details of conventional NDT techniques such as ultrasound, eddy
current and liquid penetrant for characterizing aero engine components. For an efficient
implementation of damage tolerance concept (lifing) to aero engines, knowledge of Probability
of detection which is a function of crack size/orientation/location with detectability of technique
is important. Furthermore, the presentation concludes with possible approaches of estimating POD
of NDT techniques.

TURN MILLING OF TYRES OF ROTARY KILN

Dr. V.Vital Rao

AGM, Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, Visakhapatnam

ABSTRACT

Steel is the backbone of the industrial and economical development of any nation. There is buoyancy
in the steel market due to increase of activities in the fields of infrastructure development, real
estate, hydro projects, power plants, roads, ports, irrigation and in rural steel marketing etc.

To meet the present requirement and future demand of steel in core sectors, the challenges before
the present integrated steel plants are to expand the present plant capacities, modernize the plants
with new technologies and maintain the equipment at optimum expenditure.

Steel Making:

 After mining the ores from mines and transported to integrated steel plants. These ores
like iron ore, coking & non cocking coal, lime stone, dolomite further processed for Iron
& Steel making. Massive machinery is erected and maintained to process these raw
materials for sizing, screening and processing.

 Apart from major raw materials like iron ore and cocking coal, Lime stone (CaCo3) is very
important flux material in steel making. It has to be calcined (reduced thermally) to obtain
lime. The calcination process needs huge set up of Rotary kilns, Bunkers, Pre-heaters,
conveyors and screens, Dust extraction systems.

POLYMER MATERIALS & FABRICATION OF RUBBER PRODUCTS

Dr. V.V.S. Bhaskara Raju

Scientist - F, NSTL, Visakhapatnam

ABSTRACT

Polymers are high molecular weight molecules which are repeat in nature. They are monomers,
copolymers..etc. There are different types Thermoset, Thermoplastic. Some are natural and some
are synthetic. Like metals composition is not available of the shelf. If some one gives the composition,
you cann’t take it as correct. Only basic polymer can be taken from the composition displayed.
It is to be developed by using basic formulation of chemicals. Test samples have to be made
to confirm the product. All the properties required are to be tested on the test samples only. One
of the important parameter is effect of aging. Life of polymer product completely depends on the
quality of composition. Even though literature says so many years of life, it cannot be taken into
consideration. If properties are defined, they can be achieved by using many types of polymer.
While defining the properties, basic polymer is to be mentioned. Method of processing will also
play major role in establishing the properties. All the polymers are critically depends on the process
which commercial manufacturers may not give importance to it.

Melted Aluminium in cast iron moulds and ingots Al-4.5%Cu-2%Mg, Al-4.5%Cu-4%Mg, Mg alloys
were prepared. Samples of 1:1 aspect ratio were prepared from the cast ingots. The samples
were solutionized at 450oC for two hours and quenched in water. The quenched alloy samples
were aged at 200oC in a muffle furnace. Hardness measurements were carried during ageing
and the peak hardness is determined. The peak aged time was decreased with increase in Mg
content of the alloy. This is due to the formation of intermetallic and other precipitates during the
ageing treatment. The peak hardness was also increased with increase in the Mg content.
Mathematical method was developed to determine the as-cast hardness and solution treated
hardness of the alloys.

ABSTRACT

Polymeric materials reinforced with synthetic fibers such as glass, carbon, and aramid provide
advantages of high stiffness and strength to weight ratio as compared to conventional construction
materials, i.e. Wood, concrete and steel. Despite these advantages, the widespread use of synthetic
fiber-reinforced polymer composite has a tendency to decline because of their high-initial costs,
their use in non-efficient structural forms and most importantly their adverse environmental impact.
However, natural filler and fiber materials are emerging as suitable alternatives to synthetic materials
for reinforcing polymers such as epoxy due to their environment friendliness, high abundance,
renewability, and cost effectiveness. Several research efforts have been put to study the
effectiveness of natural fiber based materials on the mechanical behavior of epoxy composites,
focusing mainly on fibers and their weight percent’s within the composites. The present experimental
study aims at learning Mechanical and thermal behavior of orange peel reinforced epoxy composites
and effect of the weight percentage of the orange peel reinforcement was investigated experimentally
on the mechanical and thermal properties of the developed composites. The mechanical properties
were tested using computerized UTM machine as per the ASTM standards. Its biodegradability,
low cost, and moderate mechanical properties make it a preferable reinforcement material in the
development of polymer matrix composites. Composites having 20 , 40, and 60% weight fraction
of orange peel specimens were made by using hand layup method. The fabricated composite
samples were cut according to the ASTM standards for different experiments. From the three
volume fractions 20%,40%,and 60% thermal conductivity is good at 60%. When compared to
the rest and mechanical properties are good for both 20%&60%reinforced orange peel epoxy
composite.

ABSTRACT

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process which is used to join two similar
or dissimilar materials by means of heat generated between tool and workpiece. There are number
of variables which affect the quality of the weld joint, for example, traversing speed, pin diameter,
rotational speed of the tool, shoulder diameter, tool geometry, tool material and material of the
workpiece.In this study, three types of tool profiles (I) tapered hexagon (ii) tapered square and
(iii) tapered cylindrical tools are selected to study and identify the tool that can give an effective
joint having more tensile strength. Also to estimate which tool profile has more life. For that, heat
flux analysis is done on these tools using ANSYS software. These geometries are analyzed for
the identification of sound weld through ANSYS.

ABSTRACT

Experiments were done to discover the effect of nickel plating on the energy dissipation of Al7SiMg
alloy deposited by electroplating technique. The energy dissipation usually refers to the damping
behavior (i.e. ability of dissipate energy usually in the form of heat).The present research is mainly
interested in determining the damping behavior of Nickel plated Al7SiMg alloy using dynamic
mechanical analyzer at different frequencies (0.1 Hz, 1 Hz and 10 Hz) over a continuous heating
temperature from room temperature to 250°C. Nickel plating surface morphology is characterized
using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The possible outcomes

ABSTRACT

A cone crusher is used for crushing rock material in mines and quarries. The performance of the
crusher changes during its lifetime due to wear of the crusher liners. Previous research has made
it possible to model, simulate and optimize the performance of a given crusher. A problem is that
due to wear the optimized geometry will change and the performance will suûer. To design crusher
geometry for optimized performance throughout the lifetime of the liners, it is desirable to predict
the worn geometry. This paper presents a method for this purpose. In a previous study, a wear
model was investigated for a laboratory scale crusher. This model has been implemented in a
cone crusher. The controller in a modern cone crusher can, for example, keep the close side setting
or the power draw constant. Such a controller was implemented in the model. Measurements of
the worn geometry were conducted in order to validate the wear model. The worn geometry is
well predicted although the wear rate, estimated from experiments presented in a previous study,
was overestimated. The eûect of constant power control and wear on various output parameters
was studied in simulations.

ABSTRACT

Hyperelastic materials are among the most complex and widely used materials. The rubbers when
combined with other polymers attain a wide range of properties. Understanding of the critical behavior
of mechanical aspects of these materials becomes important. Normally all structural materials
used in engineering components have linear elastic properties in the strain range of about 10%,
where as Elastomeric Materials do have very high rate of strains up to 300%. Elastomeric materials
have wide range of engineering applications for example Shock mounts, transducer assembly
(Hydrophoes), Medical devises, Tires and rubber seals. Analysis of these materials is very
complicated because mechanical behavior exceeds the linear elastic theory. Finite Element Analysis
(FEA) programs require material parameters (Mooney constants) in the strain energy potential
which can be determined by nonlinear least square optimization method. In this paper two types
of rubber models are taken namely polyurethane and neoprene for determining the Mooney constants
using uni-axial tesile testing machine (INSTRAN) and following ASTM D412 test standards with
the help of MATLAB OPTIM tool.

ABSTRACT

In many Production contexts it is still necessary to rely on engineering judgment to optimize a

multi-response problem, therefore uncertainty seems to prevail during the decision making process.
Therefore development of efficient multi-response phenomena is required. The present project
deals with the optimization of tool life and machining cost on CNC Milling machine using Design
of Experiments (DOE).The experiment has been carried out by using solid carbide flat end mill
as cutting tool and stainless steel S.S -304 as work piece approach is based on 3-level full
factorial method using MINITAB package. The inputs are cutting speed, feed and depth of cut
while the responses are tool life and machining cost. The experimental results display that the
cutting speed and depth of cut are the significant parameters that influence the tool life.

ABSTRACT

Composite materials play a major role in our automobile industries. The objective of the investigation
is to fabricate a composite material which will be used as an alloy wheel in automobiles. In the
proposed study, three metals are combined to form a metal matrix composite having aluminium
6061 as the matrix, Nickel and Gun metal as reinforcements. Aluminium 6061 is chosen because
of its low weight, Nickel is chosen because of its wettability characteristics, Thermal Conductivity
property and Gun metal for its ability to withstand stress. The composite material is fabricated
using Stir casting process having an induction furnace. Thermal conductivity was determined using
experimental and empirical methods for three specimens of varying percentage of nickel and
gunmetal and observed that the thermal conductivity is retained with the addition of nickel and
also closer to the values obtained by empirical models. From the results obtained, it is found that
the Thermal conductivity of the composite can be increased by addition of nickel to compensate
the effect of Gun Metal which is generally used to increase the tensile strength.

ABSTRACT

The present paper outlines an experimental study to optimize the effects of selected cutting
parameters i.e. cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and type of tool, for surface roughness of
EN-36 steel alloy by employing Taguchi robust design methodology. Taguchi orthogonal array is
designed with three levels of turning parameters and experiments are carried out using L 9 (34)
orthogonal array. Taguchi method stresses the importance of studying the response variation using
the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), resulting the minimization of quality characteristic variation
due to uncontrollable parameter. The surface roughness is considered as the quality characteristic
parameter in the concept of “the smaller the better”. The surface roughness values measured from
experiment and their optimum value for surface roughness are calculated. Analysis of Variance
suggests that the selected cutting parameters are significant and Feed rate has the most significant
factor for the surface roughness.

ABSTRACT

Composite materials are exponentially growing up and rapidly gaining importance because of
their potential to produce the components that features low density while maintain high stiffness,
strength, thermal stability, improved fatigue properties and wear resistance. The composites which
are reinforced with fly ash particulates attracting considerable interest due to their inherent good
mechanical properties and low cost followed by heat Treatment to achieve desired physical and
mechanical properties through modification of their crystalline structure of the materials. The present
work deals with the preparation of AA6061-fly ash metal matrix composite using stir casting method
by varying the wt. percentage of reinforcement. The processed composites were heat treated.
Then the mechanical properties and wear behaviour of the composites prepared were studied
before and after heat treatment and it is also observed that due to the grain refinement during
heat treatment, heat treated composite exhibited better mechanical properties.

ABSTRACT

The development of economical process conditions is found to be vital for the modern manufacturing
industries. During the hot extrusion process, the process parameters significantly affect the
mechanical properties of extruded products. For better extruded components, these process
parameters need to be optimized. Hence the present work addresses the design and optimization
of extrusion process for AA6061 alloy. Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array design of experiment was
used for performing the experiments. An Optimized experimental investigation process is carried
out for optimizing the hot extrusion process parameters i.e. initial billet temperature, cone half
angle and coefficient of friction for achieving minimum extrusion load and better mechanical
properties. Grey relational analysis is used for the conversion of the multi-objective function into
a single objective function. Through analysis the optimum level of process parameters for AA6061
profile was obtained with initial billet temperature of 5000C, cone half angle of 35 0 and coefficient
of friction of 0.2. Analysis of variance was used to investigate the impact of process parameters
on the AA6061 profile. It was found that Initial billet temperature has the maximum contribution
with 94.8 % followed by coefficient of friction and cone half angle. Then a Confirmation test has
done to validate the experiment.

ABSTRACT

Essential improvement in the quality of the products available to us in the present Industrial economy
with proper design which takes into consideration of functional requirement as well as fundamental
requirement in the aspect of manufacturing. In the present age, there have been increasing demands
on the performance of product such as resistance to cutting forces, tool stresses, temperatures
introduced during the machining, prediction of chip flow and many other factors which effect the
machining. Most of the manufacturing process which involves removal of the material requires
high quality of the product in good amount of time. One such manufacturing process where the
additional amount of material is removed in the form of chips from the blank material by a harder
tool so as to obtain a finished product in desired shape is the High-Speed End-Milling (HSEM)
process. With the development of high speed machine tools and performance cutting tool material
technology gained more attention in industrial economy. With this the importance to the simulation
before the actual machining process got crucial as it reduces the loss during the machining
operations. The rapid advancement of computer technology the role played by the CAD modelling
software and the Finite element software simulation has been developed to study the mechanics
of machining, optimization of cutting parameters, cutting tool design, and so forth. The main objective
is to eliminate expensive and time consuming experimental modeling approaches in favor of
simulation models that are capable of producing realistic results at practical cutting conditions
in design process. For that one has to monitor the condition of the tool wear and predict the tool
life to increase the quality of the work part by considering some of the input process variables
in the tool-work part interface. The present work which deals with the finite element process

ABSTRACT

The present research problem deals with the micromechanical analysis of a unidirectional continuous
hybrid fiber-reinforced composite lamina. Three-dimensional models along with governing boundary
conditions have been developed from the Representative Volume Elements (RVE) which are
idealized as an array of square unit cells. The stress-strain relation in the finite element models
takes place according to three-dimensional elasticity theory. The hybrid lamina consists of two
different fibers of T300 and SGLASS materials, and epoxy matrix. The micromechanical analysis
includes the evaluation of mechanical properties of the hybrid lamina at the fiber-matrix interface
for perfectly bonded interfaces. In this phase of the work, the longitudinal Young’s modulus (E1),
Poisson’s ratios (í12 and í13) are determined for a hybrid lamina for different volume fractions
of fibers. In this case, the lamina is subjected to uniform pressure load in the longitudinal direction
of the composite lamina and no debond is considered at the fiber-matrix interfaces.

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the use of response surface methodology (RSM) for minimum tool wear
in turning of Al/SiC/RHA hybrid composite. The stir casting technique is used to fabricate 2, 4,
6 and 8% of SiC and RHA reinforced hybrid composites in equal proportions.Spindle speed, feed,
depth of a cut and % of reinforcement were considered as process parameters in the present
work. Using RSM,a model has been established between the parameters and flank and crater
wear. The adequacy of the model was verified using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The experimental
results are compared with the results obtained through RSM, which are observed to be fairly close.
Results confirmed that both the flank and crater wear decreases with the increase in the percentage
of reinforcement. Optical micrograph showing flank and crater wear are also presented to explain
the related mechanisms.

ABSTRACT

In this study AA6063 as a matrix material and industrial waste sugarcane Bagasse ash (SCBA)
as a reinforcement are used to cast a Metal Matrix Composite (MMC). Particles size 75µm and
percent reinforcement varying from 0% to 3% are used in the fabrication of MMC’s via stir casting
technique. The effect of percentage reinforcement on the particle dispersion and strength of MMC
are studied. The microstructures were examined with optical microscope. Cast composites were
characterized for mechanical properties with respect to wt. percentage of SCB and it is observed
that the hardness and tensile strength were increased as reinforcement increased. The dry sliding
wear behavior of the cast composites were studied using pin on disc apparatus. Experiments
were conducted varying the loads from 2kg to 3 kg, for a constant distance of 5000m and constant
sliding speed of 500 rpm. Sliding wear resistance has been increased for reinforced alloy as
compared to AA6063 alloy and also resistance increased as reinforcement increased.

Key Words: AA6063, sugar cane bagasse ash, sliding wear, hardness, Micro structure.

ABSTRACT

Adaptive Control (AC) of machine tools is a recent development in production engineering which
aims at performing the cutting operations and it process parameters efficiently. Usually feeds and
speeds, depth of cuts are adaptively controlled in accordance with the data obtained by sensing
process parameters such as tool tip temperature, cutting force, spindle torque, vibration, etc. By
virtue of its ability to economize metal cutting process, AC can be expected to play a vital role
in machine tool industry. AC systems applied to optimization of process parameters in machining
process for milling are discussed in this paper.

Key words: Adaptive control (AC), Condition monitoring.

ABSTRACT

In the present investigation, LM 24 Al alloy/ Almandine composites containing three different weight
percentages (3, 6, and 9%) with particle size of 10ìmm of Almandine have been fabricated using
a compo casting method. Tensile tests and hardness were conducted to examine the mechanical
behavior of the aluminium alloy and its composites. The uniform distribution of Almandine particles
was observed in the micro structural investigation of developed composites. Results showed that
composites reinforced with Almandine particles exhibit superior mechanical behavior. Composite
Surface is analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope to study the uniform distributions.

Keywords : Almandine, compo casting method, micro structure, Scanning Electron Microscope
