Numerical analysis of contact plastic bodies made by aluminium alloy with taking account of micro-roughness surfaces

The following article describes selected aspects of numerical modeling of the process of bonding metal alloys with consideration for micro-roughness. Plastic contact between two deformable bodies is studied within a DEFROM FEM environment. The paper presents selected numerical analysis results for an aluminum alloy. The mathematical model of surface roughness has been created on the basis of the surface real profile. The dependence between the tool lathe angle and the feed has been used to build a numerical model of roughness after completion of the turning process. The article investigates the impact of wave roughness in respect to the size effect and the possibility of cold welding as well as the simplification process of real surface roughness.
