Item DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MODELING DEFORMATION OF AL-CU ALLOY(Materials Science and Technology (MS&T) 2014, 2014-10-16) Adegbola, Adekunle A.; Olapade, Julius; Alabi, Ismaila O.; Ghazali, Akeem; Ekundayo, Emmanuel; Fashina, Olugbenga; Kareem, Mutiu; Olaniyan, Abolade; Oke, DavidThe development and morphology of Al-9.37Cu alloy was characterized through metallographic examination and failure rate. The alloy was obtained by employing Die -Casting Technique before being subjected to series of mechanical and materials tests. The result showed that the strength of Al9.37Cu was greatly enhanced when the alloy was under different percent of deformations between 5-15%. Constitutive model was adopted to determine the isotropic material property in which the plane stress and plain strain conditions were considered as boundary conditions. Consequently, the effect of temperature was able to influence the strain rate in which the fracture strain determined the failure rate of the Al-Cu alloy.
