Unlike of our previous report the method suggested takes into account consideration the initial stage of superplastic forming, when the pressure of the inert gas changes from the initial zero level to a pre-given constant value. It is shown that such kind refinement enables one to improve considerably the accuracy of calculating the value of the strain rate sensitivity index, m, and, as a result, to provide more accurate finite element description of the superplastic forming processes.

Computer modeling of the pressure welding process of cylindrical workpieces from heterophase nickel-based superalloys through an interlayer was carried out.Two combinations of materials to be welded were considered: I – cylinders of the same wrought EP975 nickel-based superalloys in the initial coarse-grained state were welded through an interlayer of EP975 with a fine-grained microstructure; II – cylinders of different kinds nickel-based alloys, including wrought alloy EP975 in a coarse-grained state and intermetallic alloy VKNA-25 with a single-crystal structure, were welded through an interlayer of EP975 alloy with a fine-grained microstructure of the microduplex type. The distribution of equivalent, axial, radial, circumferential and shear components of stress and strain in the samples have been investigated. Analysis of the simulation results allows us to conclude that, in comparison to welding of the same name materials, when welding of different kinds materials, the radial, axial and circumferential stresses values increase. The maximum values area of shear stresses in the region of contact between the cylinders and the interlayer also increases. This factors combination allows us to conclude about more favorable pressure welding conditions for welding of different kinds alloys in comparison with the same name materials.
