The twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) phenomenon is established as the most effective mechanism to enhance the formability of the advanced high-Mn (15–30 wt %) austenitic steels (known as TWIP steels). As the formability is very sensitive to the steel microstructure, the study of their hot deformation characteristics is highly desired. The aim of the present work is to investigate the effects of strain rate on the high temperature flow behavior, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and the microstructural evolution of a grade of TWIP steels (with 29 wt % Mn) through single hit compression testing. The hot compression tests were carried out at two different temperatures (850°C and 1150°C) applying a range of strain rates (0.001–0.1 s−1). The results indicated a greater deformation resistance at higher strain rates. The detected broad stress peaks at higher strain rates were related to the occurrence of DRX. The microstructural studies revealed that, in addition to DRX, a geometrical dynamic recrystallization occurred at 850°C. This results in a microstructure with finer equiaxed grains.

Hot compression tests were performed with strain rates (0.01–10 s−1) and temperatures (850–1150 °C). The power law relationship between the critical stress and critical strain and Zener–Hollomon parameters was determined by θ-σ curves. Microstructure was investigated by electron backscattered diffraction. The results showed that the flow behavior and microstructure of 35CrMo steel was affected by ultrasonic-assisted casting. The activation energy of non-ultrasonic and ultrasonic-assisted 35CrMo steel were 410 ± 9.9 and 386 ± 9.4 kJ/mol, respectively, and the activation energy of ultrasonic-assisted specimens was reduced by 6%. In addition, the ultrasonic-assisted treatment refines the grains to some extent and makes the softening process of ultrasonic-assisted samples progress faster, which promoted the development of dynamic recrystallization and the production of Σ3 boundaries. The discontinuous dynamic recrystallization was the main DRX nucleation mechanism of the 35CrMo steel.

AbstractThe flow behavior of 3104 aluminum alloy was investigated at temperatures ranging from 250°C to 500°C, and strain rates from 0.01 to 10 s−1 by isothermal compression tests. The true stress–strain curves were obtained from the measured load–stroke data and then modified by friction and temperature correction. The effects of temperature and strain rate on hot deformation behavior were represented by Zener–Hollomon parameter including Arrhenius term. Additionally, the influence of strain was incorporated considering the effect of strain on material constants. The derived constitution equation was applied to the finite element analysis of hot compression. The results show that the simulated force is consistent with the measured one. Consequently, the developed constitution equation is valid and feasible for numerical simulation in hot deformation process of 3104 alloy.

Inconel®718 is a well-known nickel-based super-alloy used for high-temperature applications after thermomechanical processes followed by heat treatments. This work describes the evolution of the microstructure and the stresses during hot deformation of a prototype alloy named IN718WP produced by powder metallurgy with similar chemical composition to the matrix of Inconel®718. Compression tests were performed by the thermomechanical simulator Gleeble®3800 in a temperature range from 900 to 1025 °C, and strain rates scaled from 0.001 to 10 s−1. Flow curves of IN718WP showed similar features to those of Inconel®718. The relative stress softening of the IN718WP was comparable to standard alloy Inconel®718 for the highest strain rates. Large stress softening at low strain rates may be related to two phenomena: the fast recrystallization rate, and the coarsening of micropores driven by diffusion. Dynamic recrystallization grade and grain size were quantified using metallography. The recrystallization grade increased as the strain rate decreased, although showed less dependency on the temperature. Dynamic recrystallization occurred after the formation of deformation bands at strain rates above 0.1 s−1 and after the formation of subgrains when deforming at low strain rates. Recrystallized grains had a large number of sigma 3 boundaries, and their percentage increased with strain rate and temperature. The calculated apparent activation energy and strain rate exponent value were similar to those found for Inconel®718 when deforming above the solvus temperature.

The flow behavior of the SnSbCu alloy is studied experimentally by the compression tests in the range of the strain rates from 0.0001 to 0.1 s−1 and temperature from 293 to 413 K. Based on the experimental data, three constitutive models including the Johnson–Cook (J–C), modified Zerilli–Armstrong (Z–A), and Arrhenius-type (A-type) models are compared to find out an optimum model to describe the flow behavior of the SnSbCu alloy. The results show that the J–C model could predict the flow behavior of the SnSbCu alloy accurately only at some specific strain rates and temperature near the reference values. The modified Z–A and A-type constitutive models can give better fitting results than the J–C model. While, at high strains, the predictive values of the modified Z–A model have larger errors than those at low strains, which means this model has limitations at high strains. By comparison, the A-type model could predict the experimental results accurately at the whole strain range, which indicates that it is a more suitable choice to describe the flow behavior of the SnSbCu alloy in the focused range of strain rates and temperatures. The work is beneficial to solve the tribological problem of the bearing of the marine engine by integrating the accurate constitutive model into the corresponding numerical model.

Interrupted and continuous hot compression tests were performed for eutectoid steel over the temperature range of 850 to 1050 °C and while using strain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1 s−1. The interrupted tests were carried out to characterize the kinetics of static recrystallization(SRX) and determinate the interpass time conditions that are required for initiation and propagation of dynamic recrystallization (DRX), while considering that the material does not contain microalloying elements additions for the recrystallization delay. Continuous testing was used to investigate the evolution of the austenite grain size that results from DRX. The results indicate that carbon content accelerates the SRX rate. This effect was observed when the retardation of recrystallization due to a decrease in deformation temperature from 1050 to 850 °C was only about one order of magnitude. The expected decelerate effect on the SRX rate when the initial grain size increases from 86 to 387 µm was not significant for this material. Although the strain parameter has a strong influence on SRX rate, in contrast to a lesser degree of strain rate, both of the effects are nearly independent of the chemical composition. The calculated maximum interpass times that are compatible with DRCR (Dynamic Recrystallization Controlled Rolling), for relatively low strain rates, suggest that the onset and maintaining of the DRX is possible. However, while using the empirical equations that were developed in the present work to estimate the maximum times for high strain rates, such as those observed in the wire and rod mills, indicate that the DRX start is feasible, but maintaining this mechanism for 5% softening in each pass after peak strain is not possible.

AbstractThe high-temperature plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization behavior of BT25y alloy were investigated within the deformation temperatures of 1,213–1,293 K and strain rates of 0.001–1.0 s–1 on a Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator. Results showed that the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism played an important role in the hot deformation of BT25y alloy. Based on the regression analysis of the true stress–strain data, the stress exponent and deformation activation energy of BT25y alloy were calculated to be 3.4912 and 288.0435 kJ/mol, respectively. The θ-σ and dθ/dσ–σ curves were plotted to further obtain the critical stress and critical strain for the occurrence of DRX. Based on the analysis results, the DRX kinetic model was established. The model was validated by the comparison between predicted and experimental volume fraction of DRX. As the DRX evolution was sensitive to deformation temperature and strain rate, quantities of dynamically recrystallized grains appeared at higher temperatures and lower strain rates.

Titanium alloy grade Ti-6Al-4V has been widely applied for many applications such as aircraft structural components, machine parts, and parts for medical equipments. To understand deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of the material during hot forming process is significant for achieving desired dimension and final mechanical properties of a product. In this study, stress-strain responses of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy were investigated using hot compression tests at different temperatures and strain rates. The determined flow curves of the alloy were subsequently calculated according to the constitutive models based on Cingara equation and Shafiei and Ebrahimi equation and compared with the experimental results. By this manner, influences of work hardening and dynamic recrystallization on the hot deformation behavior of material could be described. Accurate prediction of flow curves can considerably improve the forming process design.

Deformation Parameters

Isothermal compression tests were conducted to investigate the effect of hot deformation parameters on flow behavior and microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V-0.2O alloy. The experimental results show that the strain rate and height reduction have little effect on the volume fraction of primary α at a deformation temperature of 860 ̊C. At a deformation temperature of 940 ̊C, the volume fraction of primary α at a high strain rate (10s-1) is about 10% less than that at low strain rates (0.01s-1~1s-1). It may be one of the reasons for the significantly discontinuous yielding phenomenon. Another reason is that the dislocation density decreased suddenly due to the dynamic recovery. With the increasing strain rate and the decreasing deformation temperature, the volume fraction of irregular secondary α increases and lamellar secondary α decreases. And with height reduction increasing, the irregular secondary α increases firstly and then tends to be steady because of dynamic recovery and recrystallization.

Compression tests were used to simulate simple deformation paths within the upper a-range of Zircaloy-4 (i.e. 500°C-750°C). The mechanical behaviour reveals two different domains : at low temperatures and large strain rates, strain hardening takes place before flow softening, whereas this first stage disappears at lower flow stress levels. Strain rate sensitivity and activation energy were determined for both domains. Dynamic recrystallization was investigated using the Electron BackScattering Diffraction (EBSD) technique. It appears that the mechanism involved here is continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX), based on the increasing misorientation of subgrain boundaries and their progressive transformation into large angle boundaries. At low strains (e £ 0.3), CDRX kinetics are similar whatever the deformation conditions, while higher temperatures and lower strain rates promote recrystallization at large strains.

In this work, two approaches for determining critical stress and strain for initiation of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of the AISI 4340 steel were presented.The first one applied a polynomial function to represent relationship between work hardening rate and flow stress. Secondly, Cingara constitutive model were employed. To investigate hot deformation behavior of the steel, compression tests were performed at different temperatures between 850 °C and 1150 °C and strain rates between 0.01s-1and 10 s-1. Obviously, both methods provided different values of critical stress and critical strain.Accuracy of the first method depended on fluctuations of the fitted strain hardening curve. On the other hand, results of the Cingara model was primarily related to the described flow curves up to their peak points. It could be noticed that the DRX occured during hot deformation of the examined steel started when the normalized critical stress and strain reached the values of 0.735 and 0.324, respectively.
