Abstract
The tensile fracture behavior of an Al-bearing TWIP steel was investigated by conducting a series of tensile tests on smooth and notched specimens with different notch geometries, focusing on the effects of evolution of the stress triaxiality and the effective strain during deformation. The flow curve and digital image correlation..... More

Abstract
The effect that forging routes (3 routes, A-C) exert on the development of deformation heterogeneity in AA1100 was theoretically performed using finite element analysis. Route A corresponded to a forging process that involved from 1 to 6 passes through multi-axial diagonal forging (MADF); Route B corresponded to a forging process..... More
