Comparative Study on Constitutive Models to Predict Flow Stress of Fe-Cr-Ni Preform Reinforced Al-Si-Cu-Ni-Mg Composite

The isothermal compression tests were carried out on Gleeble-3500 thermal-mechanical simulation machine in a temperature range of 298-473 K and strain rate range of 0.001-10 s(-1). The experimental results show that the flow stress data are negatively correlated with temperature for temperature softening, and the strain rates sensitivity of this composite increases with elevating temperature. Based On the experimental data, Johnson-Cook, modified Johnson-Cook and Arrhenius constitutive models were established. The accuracy of these three constitutive models was analyzed and compared. The results show that the values predicted by Johnson-Cook model could not agree well with the experimental values. The prediction accuracy of Arrhenius model is higher than that of Johnson-Cook model but lower than that of the Modified Johnson-Cook model.
