Abstract
Thermomechanical evaluation depends on the material and its characteristics. Several parameters were used for this purpose: temperature, holding time and strain rate. This paper focuses on the influence of holding time and temperature on the behavior of the material and on its microstructure considering a brass alloy CuZn40Pb2. Hot working of brass alloy is recognized in the decorative elements in architecture, faucet industry. High temperature deformation of CuZn40Pb2 perform in the biphasic regions α/β or monophasic region β. Compression tests were conducted using a thermomechanical simulator at different temperatures in order to determine the influence of holding time on the material’s rheological characterization. For all tests a force of −0.1 KN was used to ensure conduction. Quenching tests were done to find the influence of holding time on the microstructure with different temperatures. A microstructural analysis was performed at each condition. Holding time does not significantly influence the behavior of the material. On the other hand, temperature has an influence on the material’s rheological behavior: the increase in temperature decreases the the steady-state stress.
