Compression test of aluminium alloy at different strain rate

Abstract

Compression test of aluminium alloy at different strain rate were experiments carried out on a universal testing machine at room temperature and under a different strain rate ranging from 0.01/s to 0.15/s using powdered graphite mixed with machine oil as lubricant throughout the tests. True Stress and strain values were calculated using the engineering equation, which were used to plot the true stress-strain curve for different strain rate, which indicates the mechanical properties of the metal for industrial applications.
