Abstract
Friction stir blind riveting (FSBR) process offers the ability to create highly efficient joints for lightweight metal alloys. During the process, a distinctive gradient microstructure can be generated for the work material near the rivet hole surface due to high-gradient plastic deformation and friction. In this work, discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (dDRX) is found to be the major recrystallization mechanism of aluminum alloy 6111 undergoing FSBR. A cellular automaton (CA) model is developed for the first time to simulate the evolution of microstructure of workpiece material during the dynamic FSBR process by incorporating main microstructure evolution mechanisms, including dislocation dynamics during severe plastic deformation, dynamic recovery, dDRX, and subsequent grain growth. Complex thermomechanical loading conditions during FSBR are obtained using a mesh-free Lagrangian particle-based smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, and are applied in the CA model to predict the microstructure evolution near the rivet hole. The simulation results in grain structure agree well with the experiments, which indicates that the important characteristics of microstructure evolution during the FSBR process are well captured by the CA model. This study presents a novel numerical approach to model and simulate microstructure evolution undergoing severe plastic deformation processes.
