Course content
Descriptions are given of: (i) Common materials in fabrication and forming processes. (ii) Features of fabrication and forming processes (iii) Microstructure and texture development. (iv) Constitutive relation (relation between stress, strain, strain rate and temperature) in a deformation gap (rolling, extrusion or forging). (iii) Technological test methods (physical simulation). An introduction is given to texture and crystal plasticity and the influence on anisotropic mechanical properties. Furthermore, forming properties of plates and profiles are handled (localisation of strain, formability diagrams and damage evolution) Industrial rolling, extrusion and forging processes are considered in relation to microstructure control. Tool friction geometry tolerances, end-product properties (aluminium) are also treated.
Learning outcome
After completing the course the student should be able to: - Recognize a constitutive relation for hot forming. - Derive and apply theory relating to torsion testing. - Describe test methods for creep behavior. - Deriving power law creep out from assumptions about vacansy diffusion and dislocation climb - Derive Coble and Nabarro-Herring creep out from assumptions about vacancy diffusion. - Constructing creep map of the normal creep mechanisms for pure metals. - Perform basic life limitations wrt. creep. - Evaluating the selection and parameters of process steps during extrusion of aluminum alloys. - Choosing the appropriate mechanical tests and assess process step by forging. - Sketching fcc unit cell orientation when a rolling texture is given and identify grain orientations in a pole figure. - Constructing pole figures for fiber textures for axis symmetric stretching and compression from the knowledge of stable orientations in 001 inverse pole figures. - Recognize common rolling and heat treatment textures for steel and aluminum alloys. - Relate Euler angles, the rotation matrix and the ODF (Orientation Distribution Function) and recognize rolling textures in the ODF. - Derive the Taylor model for texture development and calculation of the anisotropic stress. - Discussing deep drawability from normal and planar anisotropy related to the r-values, the flow surface and texture. - Derive and apply criteria for diffuse necking and local instability in biaxial strain. - Explain the ingredients in the Marciniak-Kuczynski theory for calculating a formability diagram.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises. Instruction is provided in English or Norwegian as needed. If the teaching is given in English the Examination papers will be given in English only. Students are free to choose Norwegian or English for written assessments. Expected time spent: Lectures: 56 hours. Exercises: 24 hours. Self study: 120 hours

Further on evaluation
It is allowed to bring an approved simple calculator and an fcc cube with inscribed tetrahedron at the exam. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
