Effect of tooling surface on friction conditions in cold forging of an aluminum alloy (2018)
Journal Article
Hu, C., Ding, T., Ou, H., & Zhao, Z. (2019). Effect of tooling surface on friction conditions in cold forging of an aluminum alloy. Tribology International, 131, 353-362. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.triboint.2018.11.002

Friction during cold forging of aluminum was analyzed with a ring with boss compression test (RCT-B) and an optimum spike forging test (O-SFT). The tool surface was treated with three methods: flat grinding, bead blasting, and lapping-plus-polishing....

There is a need for improved understanding on the effects of friction stir welding (FSW) on the metallurgical and mechanical properties of aluminium matrix composite (AMC). In this study, AA6092/SiC/17.5p-T6 AMC joints were produced by using FSW with... Read More about Microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded AA6092/SiC metal matrix composite.

Investigation of the effect of forming parameters in incremental sheet forming using a micromechanics based damage model (2018)
Journal Article
Gatea, S., Lu, B., Chen, J., Ou, H., & McCartney, G. (2019). Investigation of the effect of forming parameters in incremental sheet forming using a micromechanics based damage model. International Journal of Material Forming, 12(4), 553–574. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12289-018-1434-3

The incremental sheet forming (ISF) process is considered as a feasible solution for forming a variety of small batch and even customised sheet components. The quality of an ISF product is affected by various process parameters, e.g. sheet material,...

In metal matrix composite (MMC) materials, the reaction between the metal matrix and reinforcement particles could change the composition of the matrix and the interface and lead to interfacial compounds. These intermetallic compounds may have either... Read More about Deformation and fracture characteristics of Al6092/SiC/17.5p metal matrix composite sheets due to heat treatments.
