Abstract

Cavity defects including a shrinkage cavity, air hole and porosity are typical defects of an ingot, which are difficult to avoid. These defects can disappear during deformation at a reasonably high temperature and heat-preservation process so as to ensure the quality of forgings. However, the current understanding of the mechanism of the void closure is insufficient, and the models that can accurately predict the evolution of a void are relatively rare. Based on the representative-volume-element model, a theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the influence of the Lode parameter and stress triaxiality on the void closure is expounded. Besides, based on the above research, a new void-evolution model considering all kinds of macro-stress states is proposed. The model can predict the closure degree of voids in different positions and various macro-stress states during the plastic deformation of ingots. Comparing the new void-evolution model with other models, numerical simulations and physical-simulation results, the accuracy of the proposed void-evolution model is verified.
