We43 Alloy

Under compressive testing at 400 °C and a strain rate range of 0.05–5 s−1, the hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of an as-cast (AC), as-extruded (with a bimodal grain structure (named as Ex-1) or a relatively uniform fine grain structure (Ex-2)) WE43 alloy have been investigated and compared. The results indicate that the AC sample exhibits the highest peak stress, while the Ex-2 sample has the lowest value. Within the AC material, fine grains were firstly formed along the pancake-like deformed grains (as a necklace structure). The necklace structure was also formed within the Ex-1 and Ex-2 materials at high strain rates of 0.5 and 5 s−1. However, a lamellar structure that the coarse elongated grains divided by parallel boundaries was formed within the Ex-1 material. A relatively more homogeneous fine grain structure is achieved after a true strain of 1.0 within the Ex-2 material at a low strain rate of 0.05 s−1. In addition, a discontinuous dynamic recrystallization mechanism by grain boundary bulging is found to occur. After a true strain of 1.2, a (0001) fiber texture, a typical rare earth (RE) texture, and a relatively random texture are formed within the AC, Ex-1, and Ex-2 WE43 alloy material, respectively.

The hot deformation behavior of U720Li was investigated by isothermal compression tests at temperature ranging from 1060-1180°C and strain rate from 0.001s-1 to 20s-1. The flow stress-strain curves and microstructures were investigated and a constitutive equation was established. It is found that flow stress is sensitive to stain rate and deformation temperature greatly. The higher stain rate resultes in a larger fluctuation in flow stress. The hot deformation activation energy is determined to be 552.8kJ/mol. Grain size increases with increasing temperature and decreases firstly and then increases with increasing strain rate. U720Li alloy should be deformed below the solve temperature of γ primary phase with lower strain rate in order to obtain the even and fine grain size.

Hot Deformation Behavior

Isothermal compression tests of TC18 titanium alloy at the deformation temperatures ranging from 25?C to 800?C and strain rate ranging from 10-4 to 10-2 s-1 were conducted by using a WDW-300 electronic universal testing machine. The hot deformation behavior of TC18 was characterized based on an analysis of the true stress-true strain curves of TC18 titanium alloy. The curves show that the flow stress increases with increasing the strain rate and decreases with increasing the temperature, and the strain rate play an important role in the flow stress when increasing the temperatures. By taking the effect of strain into account, an improved constitutive relationship was proposed based on the Arrhenius equation. By comparison with the experimental results, the model prediction agreed well with the experimental data, which demonstrated the established constitutive relationship was reliable and can be used to predict the hot deformation behavior of TC18 titanium alloy.

The hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of a DC cast hypereutectic Al-Si alloy was studied in the temperature range of 400-500 °C and strain rate range of 0.001-1 s-1. The results show that the as-cast microstructure of the alloy consists of polygonal primary Si particles and α-aluminum dendritic halos with Al-Si eutectics and intermetallic compounds segregated into the interdendritic regions. The flow stress of the alloy is a strong function of temperature and strain rate, and the peak stress is increased with the decrease of deformation temperature and the increase of strain rate. All the true stress-true stain curves in the experiments exhibit dynamic softening. The fracture frequency of primary Si particle is decreased with the increase of deformation temperature and the decrease of strain rate. The dynamic flow softening is mainly as a result of dynamic recrystallization.

The hot deformation behavior of aluminum alloy 5E61 was studied by hot compressive tests using a Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator. The tests were performed at temperatures varying from 250°C to 500°C and strain rates ranging from 0.001 s-1 to 10s-1. The results achieved in the present study showed that the steady flow stress increases with decreasing temperature and increasing strain rate, in accordance with the Zener-Hollomon parameter. The related microstructure is sensitive to deformation temperature, strain rate and strain. The constitutive equation based on true stress-true strain curves has been developed by hyperbolic sine equation with the hot deformation activation energy of 153.907KJ/mol. The softening mechanism could be ascribed dominantly to dynamic recovery. The results of TEM observation suggested that Mn-containing particles and Al3(Er,Zr) phase have precipitated in the aluminum matrix and pin the dislocations, which could effectively inhibit the dynamic recrystallization.

The plasticity of Mg–6Zn–5Ca–3Ce alloy fabricated by rapid solidification (RS) at room temperature is poor due to its hexagonal-close-packed (HCP) structure. Therefore, hot deformation of RS Mg–6Zn–5Ca–3Ce alloy at elevated temperature would be a major benefit for manufacturing products with complex shapes. In the present study, hot deformation behavior of as-extruded Mg–6Zn–5Ca–3Ce alloy fabricated by RS was investigated by an isothermal compression test at a temperature (T) of 573–673 K and strain rate (ε˙) of 0.0001–0.01 s−1. Results indicated that the flow stress increases along with the declining temperature and the rising strain rate. The flow stress behavior was then depicted by the hyperbolic sine constitutive equation where the value of activation energy (Q) was calculated to be 186.3 kJ/mol. This issue is mainly attributed to the existence of fine grain and numerous second phases, such as Mg2Ca and Mg–Zn–Ce phase (T’ phase), acting as barriers to restrict dislocation motion effectively. Furthermore, strain compensation was introduced to incorporate the effect of plastic strain on material constants (α,Q,n,lnA) and the predicted flow stresses under various conditions were roughly consistent with the experimental results. Moreover, the processing maps based on the Murty criterion were constructed and visualized to find out the optimal deformation conditions during hot working. The preferential hot deformation windows were identified as follows: T = 590–640 K, ε˙ = 0.0001–0.0003 s−1 and T = 650–670 K, ε˙ = 0.0003–0.004 s−1 for the studied material.

The hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of powder metallurgy (PM) Ti43Al9V0.3Y alloy with fine equiaxed γ and B2 grains were investigated using uniaxial hot compression. Its stress exponent and activation energy were 2.78 and 295.86 kJ/mol, respectively. The efficiency of power dissipation and instability parameters were evaluated, and processing maps at 50% and 80% strains were developed. It is demonstrated that the microstructure evolution was dependent on the temperature, strain, and strain rate. Both temperature and strain increases led to a decrease in the γ phase. Moreover, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and grain boundary slip both played important roles in deformation. Reasonable parameters for secondary hot working included temperatures above 1100 °C but below 1200 °C with a strain rate of less than 1 s−1 at 80% strain. Suitable hot working parameters at 50% strain were 1150–1200 °C/≤1 s−1 and 1000–1200 °C/≤0.05 s−1.

The hot deformation behavior of Cu-20.0Ni-5.0Sn-0.25Zn-0.22Mn was investigated using a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator with a temperature range from 720 °C to 880 °C and a strain rate range from 0.001 s−1 to 1 s−1. The results show that the flow stress increased with the increase of the strain rate and the decrease of the temperature. The constitutive equation of the alloy was established based on the peak flow stress. Figures of the power dissipation efficiency and flow instability with the variable of the true strain from 0.2 to 0.8 displayed the dynamic change of power dissipation efficiency and the instability area. The domain of 730–770 °C and 0.001–0.01 s−1 possessed a power dissipation efficiency over 40% throughout the whole deformation. The flow instability always appeared at a high strain rate from 0.1 s−1 to 1 s−1 during the whole deformation process. The nucleation site of the dynamic recrystallization generally appeared along the grain boundaries, indicating the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization mechanism. The appropriate conditions for deformation with a true strain of 0.9 is in a safe domain (820–860 °C with a strain rate of 0.001–0.01 s−1). There were four kinds of variation tendencies of the power dissipation efficiency with the increase of the true strain under various conditions, suggesting a changing situation for the main softening mechanisms.

Hot deformation is one of the main technological stages of products made from metallic materials. It is strictly required to decrease the costs of developing optimized technologies at this stage without a significant decrease in the products’ quality. The present investigation offers an algorithm to unite three different models to predict the hot deformation behavior, fracture, and microstructure evolution. The hot compression and tension tests of the AISI 316Ti steel were conducted using the thermomechanical simulator Gleeble 3800 for the models’ construction. The strain-compensated constitutive model and the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov (JMAK)-type model of the grain structure evolution show a satisfactory accuracy of 4.38% and 6.9%, respectively. The critical values of the modified Rice and Tracy fracture criteria were determined using the experimental values of the relative cross-section reduction and finite element calculation of the stress triaxiality. The developed models were approved for the stainless AISI 316Ti steel by the hot torsion with tension test.

The hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of a 7.5 vol% TiBw/near α-Ti composite with fine matrix microstructure were investigated under the deformation conditions in a temperature range of 800–950 °C and strain rate range of 0.001–1 s−1 using plane strain compression tests. The flow stress curves show different characteristics according to the various deformation conditions. At a higher strain rate (1 s−1), the flow stress of the composite continuously increases until a peak value is reached. The activation energy is 410.40 kJ/mol, much lower than the activation energy of as-sintered or as-forged composites. The decreased activation energy is ascribed to the breaking of the TiBw reinforcement during the multi-directional forging and the resultant fine matrix microstructure. Refined reinforcement and refined matrix microstructure significantly improve the hot deformation ability of the composite. The deformation conditions determine the morphology and fraction of α and β phases. At 800–900 °C and 0.01 s−1 the matrix α grains are much refined due to the continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). The processing map is constructed based on the hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution. The optimal hot processing window is determined to be 800–950 °C/0.001–0.01 s−1, which lead to CDRX of primary α grains or dynamic recovery (DRV) and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of β phase.
