On the acoustic method of control of spatial inhomogeneity of plastic deformation of weakly anisotropic orthotropic materials

Abstract

In this paper, the possibilities of using non-destructive acoustic control to determine the features of the spatial distribution of local plastic deformations during deformation of flat samples made of AMg61 alloy were investigated. The methodological features of using the acoustic anisotropy parameter to study the patterns of changes in spatial inhomogeneities of the field of local plastic deformations are analyzed. A computational and experimental method for determining the acoustic anisotropy parameter is proposed, which allows to correctly determine not only its magnitude, but also the directions of the local axes of acoustic anisotropy. The sources of errors of the proposed methodology, the limits of its applicability, as well as the requirements for hardware and software for its implementation are analyzed. The results of experimental studies carried out on samples of weakly anisotropic aluminum alloy AMg61 are compared with the representations of autowave mechanics of plasticity of metals. An engineering algorithm for determining the early localization of zones of loss of stability during plastic deformation of samples is proposed. The possibility of creating a methodology for assessing the plasticity resource of a material during its plastic shaping is shown.
