A new crystal plasticity model incorporating precipitation strengthening to simulate tensile deformation behavior of AA2024 alloy
In this work, a constitutive model is developed by incorporating precipitation strengthening into a dislocation-density-based crystal plasticity (CP) model to simulate the mechanical properties of 2024 aluminium alloy (AA). The proposed model considers the contributions of solid solution strengthening and strengthening from dislocation–precipitate interactions into the total slip resistance along with the forest hardening due to dislocation–dislocation interactions. A term accounting for the multiplication of dislocations due to their interactions with the non-shearable precipitates in the alloy is incorporated in the hardening law. The developed precipitation strengthening-based CP model is implemented into the crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) for simulating the macroscopic mechanical behavior of AA2024-T3 alloy for uniaxial tension over various strain rates. The macroscopic response of the polycrystal representative volume element (RVE) used for simulations is computed using computational homogenization. The effect of meshing resolution on the RVE response is studied using four different mesh discretizations. Predictions of the macroscopic behavior by the developed model are in good agreement with the experimental findings. Additionally, the contribution of model parameters to the total uncertainty of the predicted stress has been assessed by conducting a sensitivity analysis. A parametric analysis with different precipitate radii and volume fractions has been done for finding the effect of precipitates on the macroscopic and localized deformation.
