Sub-solvus dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanisms in an advanced γ-γ’ nickel-based superalloy GH4151 were investigated by isothermal compression experiments at 1040 °C with a strain rate of 0.1 s−1 and various true strain of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7, respectively. This has not been reported in literature before. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) technology were used for the observation of microstructure evolution and the confirmation of DRX mechanisms. The results indicate that a new dynamic recrystallization mechanism occurs during hot deformation of the hot-extruded GH4151 alloy. The nucleation mechanism can be described as such a feature, that is a primary γ’ (Ni3(Al, Ti, Nb)) precipitate embedded in a recrystallized grain existed the same crystallographic orientation, which is defined as heteroepitaxial dynamic recrystallization (HDRX). Meanwhile, the conventional DRX mechanisms, such as the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) characterized by bulging grain boundary and continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) operated through progressive sub-grain merging and rotation, also take place during the hot deformation of the hot-extruded GH4151 alloy. In addition, the step-shaped structures can be observed at grain boundaries, which ensure the low-energy surface state during the DRX process.

Hot compression tests were conducted using a Gleeble 3500 thermomechanical simulator at temperatures ranging from 1,000 to 1,200°C with the strain rate ranging from 0.1 to 10 s−1. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique was employed by investigating the microstructure evolution during hot deformation. Microstructure observations reveal that deformation temperatures and strain rates have a significant effect on the DRX process. It is found that the fraction and grain size of DRX increase with the decreasing deformation temperature, along with the increasing high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs). The fraction of DRX first decreases and then increases with the increase of strain rates. It is noted that there are both the nucleation mechanisms of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) and continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) during the DRX process for Co–Ni–Cr–W–based superalloys. DDRX and CDRX are the primary and subsidiary nucleation mechanisms of DRX, respectively. It is also found that deformation temperatures and strain rates have almost no effect on the primary and subsidiary nucleation mechanisms of DRX. At the temperature above 1,150°C, the complete DRX occurred with the average grain sizes of about 25.32–29.01 μm. The homogeneity and refinement of microstructure can be obtained by selecting the suitable hot deformation parameters.

The flow stress behavior of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel at different true strains was studied using a hot compression test. The effect of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) on the transformed ferrite microstructures was investigated with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The EBSD analysis indicated that the fraction of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) and DRX increased with increasing true strain. The low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) were gradually transformed into HAGBs with increasing DRX degree. When the true strain was increased to 0.916, the fraction of HAGBs increased to 85% and the fraction of DRX increased to 80.3%. The relatively high fraction of HAGBs was related to the complete DRX. The dislocations and substructures in the tested steel at different true strains were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM observation shows that the nucleation of the dynamically recrystallized grains occurred by the bulging of the original grain boundaries. The DRX nucleation mechanism of the HSLA steel is the strain-induced grain boundary migration mechanism.

6063 Aluminum Alloy

The hot deformation behaviors of the new 6063 aluminum alloy modified by rare earth Y and Al-Ti-B master alloy were studied through isothermal hot compression experiments on the Gleeble-3800 thermal simulator. By characterizing the flow curves, constitutive models, hot processing maps, and microstructures, we can see from the true stress–true strain curves that the flow stress decreases with the increase of deformation temperature and the decrease of strain rate. Through the calculation of the constitutive equation, we derived that the activation energy of the new composite modified 6063 aluminum alloy is 224.570 KJ/mol. we roughly obtained its excellent hot processing range of temperatures between 470–540 °C and the strain rates of 0.01–0.1 s−1. The verification of the deformed microstructure shows that with the decrease of lnZ, the grain boundary changes from a low-angle one to a high-angle one and the dynamic recrystallization is dominated by geometric dynamic recrystallization and continuous dynamic recrystallization. Analysis of typical samples at 480 °C/0.01 s−1 shows that the addition of rare earth Y mainly helps form Al3Y5 and AlFeSiY phases, thus making the alloy have the performance of high-temperature recrystallization, which is beneficial to the hot workability of the alloy.

Twin Roll

Texture and microstructure evolution of ingot and twin-roll casted Mg–Al–Mn magnesium sheets were examined during deep drawing at elevated temperatures. The twin-roll casted sheets possessed smaller grain sizes and weaker basal intensity levels than the ingot-casted sheets. The strength and elongation at room temperature for the twin-roll casted sheets were greater than those of the ingot-casted sheets. At elevated temperatures, the ingot-casted sheets showed better elongation than the twin-roll casted sheets. Different size and density of precipitates were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for both ingot-casted and twin-roll-casted sheets. The deep drawing process was also carried out at various working temperatures and deformation rates, 225 °C to 350 °C and 30 mm/min to 50 mm/min, respectively. The middle wall part of cups were mainly tensile deformation, and the lower bent regions of drawn cups were most thinned region. Overall, the ingot-casted sheets revealed better deep drawability than the twin-roll casted sheets. Microstructure and texture evolution of the top, middle and lower parts of drawn cups were investigated using electron backscatter diffraction. Increased deformation rate is important to activate tensile twins both near the bent and flange areas. Ingot casted sheets revealed more tensile twins than twin-roll casted sheets. Increased working temperature is important to activate non-basal slips and produce the DRXed grain structure in the flange. Dynamic recrystallization were frequently found in the top flanges of the cups. Both tensile twins and non-basal slips contributed to occurrence of the dynamic recrystallization in the flange.

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.

Hot deformation behavior of Nb-contained 316LN was investigated using a series of compression tests performed on a Gleeble-1500D simulator at temperature of 950–1200 °C and strain rate of 0.01~1 s−1. Based on the strain compensation method, a modified Arrhenius constitutive model considering the comprehensive effects of temperature, strain rate, and strain on flow stress was established, and the accuracy of the proposed model was evaluated by introducing correlation coefficient (R) and average relative error (AARE). The values of R and AARE were calculated as 0.995 and 4.48%, respectively, proving that the modified model has a high accuracy in predicting the flow stress of Nb-contained 316LN. The microstructure evolution and the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism of the experimental material were explicated by optical microscopy (OM), electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) characterized by subgrain evolution and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) featured by grain boundary nuclei are two main dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanisms of Nb-contained 316LN. Furthermore, based on the results of microstructure analyses, optimum parameters were obtained as temperature ranges of 1100~1200 °C and strain rate ranges of 0.01~1 s−1.

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).
