Plastometric Testing of Rheological Properties of 5083 and 5754 Aluminium Alloy

The paper present a method for determining the real steel work-hardening curves based on the cylindrical specimen compression test. The subject of testing were 5083 and 5754 aluminium alloy. The tests were carried out using the physical simulator of metallurgical processes GLEEBLE 3800 (Figure 1a) for the temperature range of 400 ÷ 560 °C and the strain rate range of 0,1 - 1,0s-1. Based on plastic deformation parameters recorded during the experiment, mathematical processing, that is the digital filtration and approximation of the obtained testing results, will be performed. Then, using the inverse method, the actual values of the coefficients of the numerical models for the rheological properties of the tested materials will be determined.
