The effects of repetitive upsetting extrusion under different starting temperatures on the microstructure and texture of GWZK124 alloy were investigated. The results clearly showed that the particles and second phases induced dynamic recrystallization (DRX), which can be explained by the particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN) mechanism. It was shown that grain refinement during repetitive upsetting extrusion (RUE) is dominated by a complicated combination of continuous dynamic recrystallization and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization. The RUEed alloys under different starting temperatures exhibited a bimodal microstructure comprising fine DRXed grains with weak texture and coarse deformed grains with strong texture. The DRXed grains could weaken the texture. As the RUE starting temperature decreased, the average grain size increased and the volume fraction of DRXed grains decreased.

A Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK)-model was established for dynamic recrystallization in hot deformation process of 52100 steel. The effects of hot deformation temperature, true strain and strain rate on the microstructural evolution of the steel were physically studied by using Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator and the experimental results were used for validation of the JMAK-model. Through simulation and experiment, it is found that the predicted results of DRX volume fraction, DRX grain size and average grain size are in good agreement with the experimental ones.

Abstract The reoccurring cyclic load imposed onto soldered electronic components during their operation time leads to accumulation of inelastic strains in the structure. On a microscale level, the degree of plastic deformation is determined by the formation and annihilation of dislocations, leading to continuous refinement by creation of new grain boundaries, precipitates relocation and growth. This microstructure rearrangement, triggered by an increasing amount of inelastic deformation, is defined as dynamic recrystallization. This work presents a macroscale modelling approach for the description of continuous dynamic recrystallization observed in Sn-based solder connections. The model used in this work describes kinetics of macroscopic gradual evolution of equivalent grain size, where the initial grain size is continuously refined with increasing accumulated inelastic strain until a saturation grain size is reached. The rate and distribution of dynamic recrystallization is further numerically modelled dependent on the effective accumulated inelastic strain and governing stress multiaxiality. A parameter study of the presented model and its employment in finite element (FE) simulation is further described. Finally, FE simulation of the grain size evolution is demonstrated on an example of a bulky sample under isothermal cyclic mechanical loading, as well as a BGA-like structure under tensile, shear and mixed mode cyclic load.

Hot-core heavy reduction rolling (HHR2) is an innovative technology, where a two-high rolling mill is installed after the solidification end of a strand, which can significantly eliminate the core defects of the slab. The mill exhibits a heavy reduction ratio, which promotes the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of the slab. This study aims to optimize the parameters of the HHR2 process considering the effect of DRX on microstructure homogeneity. The secondary development of commercial software DEFORM-3D is conducted to calculate the deformation and DRX behavior of HHR2 for different reduction ratios. The parameters of DRX volume fraction and DRX grain size are compared, and finer DRX grains are obtained when the greater reduction ratios are conducted in HHR2. Then, corresponding to the deformation conditions in the HHR2, the thermal–mechanical simulations are conducted on the Gleeble3800 to obtain the average grain sizes before and after this process. When the reduction amount increases from 20 mm to 50 mm, the difference of average grain size between the core and the surface reduces by 52%. In other words, appropriately enhancing the reduction ratio is helpful to reduce the average austenite grain and promote the microstructure uniformity of the slab. These results provide some valuable information on the design of deformation parameters for HHR2.

The mechanism of grain refinement in an Al-5.4Mg-0.4Mn-0.2Sc-0.09Zr alloy subjected to equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 300°C through route BC is considered. It was shown that the formation of geometrically necessary boundaries (GNB) aligned with a {111} plane at ε≤1 initiates the occurrence of continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). Upon further strain the GNBs transform to low-to-moderate angle planar boundaries that produces lamellar structure. In the strain interval 2-4, 3D arrays of planar boundaries evolve due to inducing the formation of 2nd order and higher orders families of GNBs in new {111} planes. GNBs gradually convert to high-angle boundaries (HAB) with strain. A uniform recrystallized structure is produced at a true strain of ∼8. The role of slip concentration and shearing patterns in the formation of GNBs is discussed.

The Al-Cu-Mg-Ag-Ce-Er alloy wires with different extrusion ratio (λ=12, 25, 50, 100) were produced by hot extrusion at 450oC. The effects of extrusion ratio on the microstructures, tensile strength and elongation of Al-Cu-Mg-Ag-Ce-Er alloy wires were researched by means of OM, SEM, TEM and mechanical test.The results show that with the extrusion ratio increasing, the average grain size decreased from 83μm to 42μm, the Al2Cu, Al8Cu4Ce and Al8Cu4Er phases was broken gradually, and the homogeneousdistribution about these second-phases in the alloy wires increased. The tensile strength increased from 366MPa to 459MPa with extrusion ratio, and the elongation initially decreased and then increased with the increase of extrusion ratio. Dynamic recrystallization for Al-Cu-Mg-Ag-Ce-Er alloy occurred at different extrusion ratios. Withincreasing of extrusion ratio, the main nucleation mechanism of dynamic recrystallization changed from the sub-grain coalescence at lower extrusion ratioto the acceleration of second-phases for nucleation at higher extrusion ratio.

The Relationship

The presence of hcp regions with grains having relatively close orientations has been reported in commercial near alpha titanium billets (IMI 834, Ti 6246, etc). The size of these textured regions (called macrozones) is significantly larger than the average grain size of the microstructure observed after thermomechanical processing. The elongated shape of these large hcp regions suggests that they are eventually related to large prior b grains that pancaked during the ingot break down process. In this contribution, Orientation Image Microscopy was used to study the relationship between the hcp local microtexture heterogeneities and the prior b orientations. Specifically, the orientations of the primary (equiaxed) ap grains and the secondary (lamellar) as colonies produced after the transformation of the b phase were discriminated from OIM maps. Furthermore, from the as inherited OIM map, it was possible to reconstruct the corresponding b OIM map over large regions. The analysis showed that the large hcp macrozones observed in the as received material are not related to corresponding bcc macrozones. However, within an hcp macrozone, various clusters of b grains with similar orientations can be found. In such coherent regions, randomly orientated b grains were also observed, which could be related to microstructural changes during deformation (continuous dynamic recrystallization) as suggested by hot deformation results.

Hot deformation and associated structural changes were studied in compression of a magnesium alloy AZ31 with initial grain sizes (D0) of 22 µm and 90 µm at a temperature of 573K. D0 influences significantly the flow curve and the kinetics of grain refinement during hot deformation. For D0 = 22 µm, grain fragmentation takes place due to frequent formation of kink bands initially at corrugated grain boundaries and then in grain interiors in low strain, followed by full development of new fine grains in high strain. For D0 = 90 µm, in contrast, twinning takes place in coarser original grains, and then kink bands and new fine grains are formed mainly in finer ones at low strains. Then new grains are formed in necklace along the boundaries of coarse original grains, followed by their development into the grain interiors. Grain refinement in the Mg alloy can be concluded to result from a series of deformation-induced continuous reactions, they are essentially similar to continuous dynamic recrystallization (cDRX).

Fourth Pass

The empirical model of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) coupled with DEFORM 3D® software (based on the finite element method (FEM)) was used to predict the microstructural evolution of the AA7075 processed by four passes of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 250° C. The DRX model parameters were taken from the literature. The simulation results showed that the DRX exhibited a heterogeneous distribution from the back to the frontal part of the sample and this heterogeneity markedly diminished in the fourth pass. The recrystallized volume fraction reached 50% in most of the sample in the fourth pass and the average grain size did not show significant changes, going from an initial value of 16.4 μm to 12.5 μm. This latter result was attributed to the fact that DRX occurred partially even for the last pass. Experimental testing of ECAP was conducted by using the same conditions of computational simulation. The validation of model was performed by comparison of average grain size values with those obtained experimentally by means of image analysis applied on micrographs that were acquired by means of optical microscopy (OM). Hardness and peak load values also indicated the occurrence of a partial dynamic recrystallization and recovery.

Strain-induced grain refinement in a magnesium alloy AZ31 was studied in multi-directional forging (MDF) at a temperature range from 423K to 623K and at a strain rate of 3x10-3s-1. MDF with a pass strain of 0.8 was carried out to high cumulative strains of around 5 with changing of the loading direction during decreasing temperature from pass to pass. The structural changes can be characterized by the evolution of many mutually crossing kink bands at low strains followed by increase in their number and misorientation, finally resulting in a fully developed fine-grains at high strains. MDF with decreasing temperature can accelerate the evolution of much finer grains and the improvement of plastic workability. An average grain size of 0.3 μm is formed at an accumulative strain of 4.8 and at 423K. It is concluded that grain refinement under MDF conditions occurs by a series of deformation-induced continuous reactions; that is essentially similar to continuous dynamic recrystallization (cDRX).

The micron-size grain refinement of pure a-zirconium obtained with elevated temperature tensile deformation was investigated. The development of low-misorientation subboundaries caused the serration of the original grain boundaries at low strains. The final microstructure (e.g. strains > 3) was predominantly composed of fine, equiaxed “crystallites” with ⅔ of the boundaries being of very low misorientations (< 3°) and the remaining ⅓ being high angle boundaries (θ > 8°, and typically 25-35°). Discontinuous dynamic recrystallization was excluded as a possible mechanism due to the absence of newly formed grain nuclei. The bimodal distribution of the crystallite or (sub)grain boundary misorientations is inconsistent with the occurrence of continuous dynamic recrystallization and rotational recrystallization. The continual thinning of the original grains, the serration of the high angle boundaries, the bimodal misorientation distribution of misorientations, ⅔ of boundaries of very low misorientations at high strains all strongly suggest geometric dynamic recrystallization and dynamic recovery as the grain refinement and restoration mechanisms.
