Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

For several decades, advanced materials and their processes have attracted the attention of researchers and industry professionals. The possibility of industrial implementation considering the High-Performance Applications is also determined by the Fracture & Fracture behavior, Mechanical Properties, Modeling & Optimization of the Advanced Processes of Manufacturing, and the Structure-Properties Relationship that strongly affects the life cycle of Advanced Materials. From industry insight, it is important to develop novel prospects and strategies aimed at designing novel materials and processes, in addition to excellent mechanical properties, characterized by specific properties focused on heavy operating conditions. This Special Issue aims to provide an opportunity for researchers from both academia and industry to share their advances pertinent to the Special Issue “High-Performance Applications of Advanced Materials: Material Properties, Behaviour Modeling, Optimal Design and Advanced Processes”, which covers the aspects of all features regarding the High-Performance Applications, from modeling new processes and materials, through experimental investigations focused on structure-properties relationship, to validation considering specific operating conditions. Both fundamental insights and practical foresight are greatly welcome in the form of research articles or reviews addressing topics such as simulation and modeling, experimental investigations focused on fatigue and fracture behavior of advanced materials, optimization and design of novel advanced processes, advanced materials behavior during operation,  advanced characterization of microstructure, artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computation.

Hot forming is an effective approach for improving the formability of ultrathin metal sheets, such as those made of stainless steel and pure titanium. However, the increased friction coefficient between the tool and the high-temperature metal sheet negatively affects material flow during hot forming, potentially resulting in severe local thinning or even cracking. This study explores the frictional behavior of 0.1 mm thick ferritic stainless steel (FSS) and commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) sheets at elevated temperatures. A friction testing apparatus was developed to measure the friction coefficients of these metal sheets from room temperature (25 °C) up to 600 °C. The friction coefficient of the FSS sheet increased monotonically with temperature, whereas that of the CP-Ti sheet first increased and then decreased. Post-friction testing microscopic examination demonstrated that built-up edges formed on the surfaces of the friction blocks when rubbed against the stainless steel, contributing to the higher friction coefficients. This study provides a foundation for understanding frictional behavior during the hot forming of ultrathin metal sheets. Full article
