specimen differs from the actual stress-strain curve obtained undera frictionless situation without barreling.

Initial dimensions of the compression specimen are representedby height (H), and diameter (D) (Fig. 1a). Barreling (Fig. 1b) occursduring uniaxial compression testing. The barreling shape parame-ters include top and bottom surface diameter (dmin), the maximumdiameter in barreling area (dmax), and specimen height after com-pression (h).

Barreling occurs due to friction between platens and specimen,causing a triaxial stress state, which differs from the ideal uniaxialstress condition. The experimental stress-strain curve calculatedfrom a barreling specimen deviates from the actual stress-straincurve (Fig. 1c), which is based on ideal uniaxial stress conditions.Therefore, it is necessary to study the barreling effect on experi-mental stress-strain curves and correct these experiment results forthe barreling condition.

ig. 1. (a) Dimension of cylinder before compression, (b) dimension of cylinder afterompression, and (c) barreling effect on stress-strain curve.

Many researchers have investigated the barreling effect inompression tests using cylindrical specimens. Deviation of stress-train curves under different barreling conditions is a prevalentopic in this research area. Martínez et al. (2006) studied thearreling effect during compression test of alloy 2117-T4 atoom temperatures (20 ◦C–40 ◦C) and quasi-static strain rates10−3 s−1–10−2 s−1). Load-displacement curves under differenteformation conditions were compared and concluded that mate-ial is not sensitive to studied range of temperature and strainate. However, they did not study barreling at high temperaturesnd higher strain rates. Charkas et al. (2008) proposed an inverseethod to correct the local material response during finite ele-ent analysis, effectively increasing simulation accuracy of highly

tressed element. Rasti et al. (2011) used a finite element methodo study the relationship between barreling shape and the parame-ers of their material model based on AISI 304 stainless steel. Chennd Chen (2000) proposed a mathematical method to calculateffective stress and effective strain of barreled specimen during hotompression process. However, effects of temperature and strainate on barreled specimens were not considered in these litera-ures. Narayanasamy and Murthy (1988) developed a relationshipetween barreling radius and applied load using solid cylinderompression of AISI 5120. In a more recent study (Narayanasamyt al., 2000), barreling effects on stress and strain distributionsere studied by cold upset forming of magnesium alloy ZM-21

ylinders. Malayappan and Esakkimuthu (2006) studied barrelinghape during compression testing of pure aluminum and proposed

mathematical expression of barreling radius in an aluminumompression test. However, these literatures emphasized on bar-eling shape, lack of study of barreling effect on experimentalesults. Hervas et al. (2013) investigated complex strain distri-utions in ductile cast iron compression testing, which includedhe effects of barreling. Their results show that the aspect ratiof graphite nodules in the iron could be used to predict localtrains. Bao and Wierzbicki (2004) conducted cylinder compres-ion tests using Aluminum alloy 2024-T351 specimens of differenteight/diameter ratios. With increasing height/diameter ratio, thetress-strain curves converged to a stable state, which is assumedo be the actual stress-strain curve. In the previous studies, fewesearchers performed barreling effect on actual experimental datat high temperature and varying strain rate, at which high barrelinghape is involved and has significant influence on experimentallyeasured stress-strain curves.

Friction between the specimen and platens is another widely

tudied topic by researchers. Ebrahimi and Najafizadeh (2004)nvestigated the effect of friction on barreling shape during bothold and hot compression tests of Ti-IF steel, and proposed a math-matical relationship between barreling shape and the average

friction factor. They concluded that the maximum difference in flowstress under different friction conditions was approximately 8%. Liet al. (2010a) studied the barreling effect of IHS38MSV steel in anequivalent strain range, 0–1.8 using both experimental and finiteelement methods. Results showed that upper bound analysis of thefriction condition during compression test is not accurate for largestrains (>0.55). Yao et al. (2013) developed an empirical model topredict the relationship between barreling factor and friction coef-ficient based on CuZn40 brass. A convenient expression relatingthe effect of friction to barreling shape for room temperature com-pression was proposed. On the other hand, Li et al. (2010b) studiedthe effect of friction in a hot compression test (800 ◦C–1200 ◦C) andconcluded that the top radius of specimen after compression wasaffected significantly by friction. Based on these studies, Ebrahimi’sequation is widely adopted and verified by researchers, providingan effective method to predict friction coefficient.

In the current study, a methodology to correct experimen-tal stress-strain curves for the barreling effect is presented. Theeffect of increased temperatures as well as varying strain rates isalso examined. Material testing was performed using Gleeble hotcompression test at various strain rates and temperatures. Exper-imental stress-strain curves obtained from Gleeble testing wereevaluated and revised stress-strain curves were obtained. A com-prehensive parametric study was performed to study the effects ofvarying friction coefficients, temperatures, and strain rates on thebarreling observed during compression testing.

2. Experiments

A low carbon structural steel (C 0.075%, Mn 0.9%, Nb 0.016%, V0.005%, Si 0.26%, Cr 0.11%) was used in the current study. Specimens(15 mm height and 10 mm diameter) for compression testing weremachined from as-casted steel product. To investigate the effectsof varying temperatures and strain rates on barreling and materialproperties, hot compression tests were performed at different tem-peratures (900 ◦C, 1000 ◦C, 1100 ◦C and 1200 ◦C) and strain rates(1 s−1, 5 s−1, 15 s−1, and 30 s−1). Each combination was replicatedthree times, and a total of 48 specimens were tested. Compres-sion tests at elevated temperatures were performed using a Gleeblethermo-mechanical tester. The experimental plan for hot compres-sion test is shown and Fig. 2.

Specimens were first heated up to 1300 ◦C at a rate of260 ◦C/min, and held for 3 min for austenitizing. The temperature

of specimens was then lowered to the desired test temperature.After a brief holding period of 2 min, the compression test wasperformed. Tantalum foil with nickel paste was used to minimizethe friction between platens and specimen. After compression, the

The error refined the input for the nextrun of finite element simulation. The material model is then mod-ified to minimize the difference between simulated results andexperimental results. This process was iterated until the coeffi-cient of determination (R2) between simulated stress-strain curveand experimental stress-strain curve was greater than 0.99. Theschematic of this process is shown in Fig. 5.

4. Results and discussion

4.1. Inverse finite element analysis

Four tested specimens showing the typical barreled shape andone untested specimen are shown in Fig. 6. Since the analyzedmaterial properties in this study are used for simulation of hotrolling process, the hot rolling conditions become research focus.The hot rolling temperature is 1000 ◦C–1200 ◦C, and strain rate is upto 50 s−1. Selected specimens are at temperature 1000 ◦C–1200 ◦C

and relatively high strain rate 15 s−1–30 s−1 to avoid significantdynamic recrystallization. Due to the friction between platens andspecimen, barreling is visible on the tested specimens. The shapeof each specimen after hot compression testing was recorded,

The frictionlesssituation shown in Fig. 7a, specimen 1 was deformed uniformly,showing ideal uniaxial strain distribution. On the other hand, forthe friction condition shown in Fig. 7b, barreling is visible and a tri-axial strain state is observed. Simulated stress-strain curves werecalculated and compared in Fig. 7(c). In the frictionless condition,the simulated stress-strain curve was similar to the input mate-rial properties of FEA, which means that if friction is eliminated inpractical hot compression test, the experimental stress-strain curvebased on platen reacting force and displacement will be similar toactual stress-strain curve. For condition with friction, the simulated

stress-strain curve deviates from the input material properties ofFEA, proving that experimental stress-strain curve with barrelingeffect differs from actual stress-strain curve.

Fig. 9. Revised stress-strain curve

Charkas et al. (2008) proposed inverse finite element methodo effectively recover local material behavior by correcting load-isplacement response of nodes during single simulation process.ased on this method, inverse analysis was extended to revise inputaterial properties during multiple simulation processes. Inverse

nite element analysis results for specimen 1 are shown in Fig. 8(a). revised stress-strain curve was calculated by iteration of the

nverse method. Using this stress-strain curve as input of finite ele-ent model, the simulated stress-strain curve is shown to be close

o the experimental stress-strain curve (R2 > 0.99). Therefore, thisevised stress-strain curve of FEA input is expected to accuratelyepresent the actual stress-strain curve of the material. The simu-ated barreling shape based on the revised stress-strain curve andhe actual barreling shape are shown in Fig. 8b and 8c. The simu-ated dmax (14.542 mm) based on revised stress-strain curve is closeo actual dmax (14.887 mm).

.2. Revised stress-strain curves

Experimental stress-strain curves were revised based on inversenite element analyses (Fig. 9). The solid lines and dashed lines rep-esent experimental stress-strain curves and revised stress-strainurves respectively. All dashed lines are lower than correspond-ng solid lines, due to friction between platen and specimen. Thetress deviation between solid lines and dashed lines at low tem-

erature is larger than at high temperature, and strain rate haselatively small effect on stress deviation. Inverse finite elementnalysis provides an effective method to revise experimental datao determine the actual material properties, which describes mate-

rial flow behavior more accurately. Comparing to 8% difference inEbrahimi’s study (Ebrahimi and Najafizadeh, 2004), the differencesbetween experimental and revised stress-strain curves in the cur-rent study vary from 2.5% to 7.5% at different temperature and strainrate.

4.3. Parametric study results

A comprehensive parametric study was performed usinginverse finite element analysis to investigate barreling effect ondeviation between experimental stress-strain curve and actualstress-strain curve. The input material properties of the finite ele-ment model are the revised stress-strain curves plotted in Fig. 9.The parameters include friction coefficient (0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375,and 0.5), temperature (900 ◦C, 1000 ◦C, 1100 ◦C, and 1200 ◦C), andstrain rate (1 s−1, 5 s−1, 15 s−1, and 30 s−1). Eighty hot compressionsimulation cases were performed. The flow stress is recorded atstrain 0.15 (Fig. 10) where the stress deviation is visible and dis-tinguishable among different parametric conditions. In the currentstudy, material is sensitive to strain rate range 1 s−1–30 s−1 andhigh temperature range 900 ◦C–1200 ◦C, comparing to the state-ment (Martínez et al., 2006) that material is insensitive to lowstrain rate range 10−3 s−1–10−1 s−1 and room temperature range20 ◦C–40 ◦C.

4.3.1. Friction effectFriction is the main factor resulting in barreling during hot com-

pression test. Flow stress at 0 friction coefficient in Fig. 10 is theactual material property and serves as the baseline for comparison.

s friction coefficient increases, the flow stress increases propor-ionally with friction coefficient at constant temperature and strainate, and reaches maximum at friction coefficient 0.5. Barrelingffect can be represented by the differences of the flow stresses:

.3.2. Temperature effectThe effect of temperature on barreling is shown in Fig. 11. At con-

tant strain rate and friction coefficient, barreling effect decreasess temperature increases from 900 ◦C to 1200 ◦C. Temperaturehows a uniformly negative relationship with barreling effect at allriction coefficients and strain rates. This can be due to the softeningf material at elevated temperatures, which increases material flowehavior. Also, the effect of friction on barreling is smaller at ele-ated temperature. The effects of friction on material flow betweenlaten and specimen is reduced by material softening.

.3.3. Strain rate effectThe influence of strain rate on barreling is shown in Fig. 12.

nlike the temperature softening effect, the strain rate hardeningffects on stress-strain curve is not uniform. At constant frictionoefficient and temperature, barreling increases when strain rate isncreased from 1 s−1 to 5 s−1 due to strain hardening. The softening

5. Conclusion

In this paper, Gleeble hot compression tests were conductedto obtain experimental stress-strain curves under varying tem-peratures and strain rates. Barreling of the specimen during hotcompression testing results in an experimental stress-strain curvethat differs from actual stress-strain curve. An inverse methodcombined with finite element analysis was used to correct theexperimental stress-strain curves for the barreling, and a compre-hensive parametric study was performed to study the barrelingeffect. Revised stress-strain curves were calculated based oninverse finite element analysis. It was found that inverse finite ele-ment analysis is an effective method to modify the experimentalstress-strain curve to minimize errors from barreling on materialproperties. A parametric study was performed in order to investi-gate the effect of varying friction coefficient, temperature and strainrates. It was found that the friction coefficient has a significanteffect on barreling effect. Barreling effect increases as friction coef-ficient increases. However, an increase in temperature reduces thedeviation of experimental results from actual stress-strain curvedue to the temperature softening effect. Strain rate has a complexinfluence on barreling effect. The barreling effect increases whenstrain rate is increased from 1 s−1 to 5 s−1 due to strain harden-ing. When strain rates are increased beyond 15 s−1, barreling effectdecreases. This study of the barreling effect on experimental stress-strain curves can be used to develop accurate material models forhot working simulation.
