The flow behavior of the Al–Si–Mg alloy under uniaxial compression loading was investigated at different strain rates (10−3 s−1, 10−2 s−1,10−1 s−1, 100 s−1) at a wide range of temperatures (573 K, 623 K, 673 K, 723 K, 773 K). The results showed that the peak stress increase with the strain rate and decrease with the increase of temperature. According to the measured flow stress curves, a modified Johnson-Cook (J-C) constitutive model taking strain rate effect on thermo softening into account was proposed to delineate the flow behavior. The comparisons between the measured flow curves and the predicted ones showed them to be very close and the average error is 1.65%. The added experiments were also conducted for validating the modified model, and the predicted data well agreed with the measured flow stress curves. That indicated the modified Johnson-Cook model is reliable and can accurately delineate the flow behavior of Al–Si–Mg alloy.

In order to obtain the high temperature flow behavior of as-cast SA508-3 low alloy steel, the stress-strain curves of steel are obtained by Gleeble thermal simulation compression test at deformation temperature 800°C-1200°C and strain rate 0.001s-1-1s-1. Based on Laasraoui two-stage flow stress model, a high temperature flow stress model is established by multiple linear regression method. The results show that the peak stress characteristics are not obvious at low temperature and high strain rate, which is a typical dynamic recovery characteristic. Meanwhile, the peak stress characteristics are obvious at high temperature and low strain rate, which is a typical dynamic recrystallization characteristic. By means of the comparisons between experiments and calculations, the Laasraoui two-stage flow stress model can truly reflect flow behavior of steel at high temperature, which provides theoretical guidance for the hot deformation of the steel.

Hot deformation tests were carried out on Al5083 – 2 %(vol) TiC nanocomposite in a temperature range of 250 – 450°C at varying strain rate of 0.01 – 1.0 sec-1. Constitutive models were developed for the prediction of peak flow stress relating strain rate, true stress, temperature and activation energy. The percentage error between measured flow stress and constitutive model values were calculated to analyse the efficacy of the model in the prediction of peak stress. Finally, a window of working of the selected nanocomposite is established for finding out the safer region of working.

In the present work, the hot deformation behavior of TB18 titanium alloy was investigated by isothermal hot compression tests with temperatures from 650 to 880°C and strain rates from 0.001 to 10 s−1. The flow curves after friction and temperature correction show that the peak stress decreased with the temperature increase and the strain rate decrease. Three typical characteristics of flow behavior indicate the dynamic softening behavior during hot deformation. At a strain rate of 0.001∼0.01 s−1, the flow stress continues to decrease as the strain rate increases after the flow stress reaches the peak stress; the flow softening mechanism is dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization at a lower temperature and dynamic recrystallization at a higher temperature. The discontinuous yielding phenomenon could be seen at a strain rate of 1 s−1, dynamic recrystallization took place in the β single-phase zone, and flow localization bands were observed in the α + β two-phase zone. At a higher strain rate of 10 s−1, the flow instabilities were referred to as the occurrence of flow localization by adiabatic heat. Constitutive equation considering the compensation of strain was also established, and the results show high accuracy to predict the flow stress with the correlation coefficient of 99.2% and the AARE of 6.1%, respectively.

AbstractConstitutive analysis for hot working of BFe10-1-2 alloy was carried out by using experimental stress–strain data from isothermal hot compression tests, in a wide range of temperature of 1,023~1,273 K, and strain rate range of 0.001~10 s–1. A constitutive equation based on modified double multiple nonlinear regression was proposed considering the independent effects of strain, strain rate, temperature and their interrelation. The predicted flow stress data calculated from the developed equation was compared with the experimental data. Correlation coefficient (R), average absolute relative error (AARE) and relative errors were introduced to verify the validity of the developed constitutive equation. Subsequently, a comparative study was made on the capability of strain-compensated Arrhenius-type constitutive model. The results showed that the developed constitutive equation based on modified double multiple nonlinear regression could predict flow stress of BFe10-1-2 alloy with good correlation and generalization.

Effects of temperature and strain rate on the fracture behaviors of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy are investigated by isothermal uniaxial tensile experiments at a wide range of temperatures and strain rates, from room temperature (RT) to 400 °C and from 10−4 s−1 to 10−1 s–1, respectively. Generally, the elevation of temperature leads to the increasing of elongation to fracture and the reduction of peak stress, while higher strain rate results in the decreasing of elongation to fracture and the increasing of peak stress. Interestingly, we found that the coefficient of strain rate sensitivity (m-value) considerably rises at 200 °C and work of fracture (Wf) fluctuates drastically with the increase of strain rate at RT and 100 °C, both of which signify a non-uniform and unstable deformation state below 200 °C. A competition of work hardening (WH) and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) exists at 200 °C, making it serve as a transitional temperature. Below 200 °C, WH is the main deformation mechanism of flow stress, and DRX dominates the flow stress above 200 °C. It has been found that from RT to 200 °C, the main feature of microstructure is the generation of dimples and microvoids. Above 200 °C, the coalescence of dimples and microvoids mainly leads to the failure of specimen, while the phenomenon of typically equiaxed dimples and nucleation appear at 400 °C. The observations of microstructure are perfectly consistent with the related macroscopic results. The present work is able to provide a comprehensive understanding of flow stress of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy at a wide range of temperatures and strain rates, which will offer valuable information to the optimization of the hot forming process and structural design of the studied alloy.

The hot deformation behavior of the aerospace Ti-10-2-3 alloy was investigated by isothermal compression tests at temperatures of 740 to 820 °C and strain rates of 0.0005 to 10 s−1. The results show that the studied alloy is extremely sensitive to deformation parameters, like the temperature and strain rate. The temperature mainly affects the magnitude of flow stress at larger strains, while the strain rate not only affects the value of flow stress but also the shape of the flow curves. At low strain rates, the flow stress increases with strain, followed by a broad peak and then remains almost constant. At high strain rates, the flow curves exhibit a hardening to a sharp peak at small strains, followed by a rapid dropping to a plateau caused by dynamic softening. In order to describe such flow behavior, a constitutive model considering the effect of deformation parameters was developed as an extension of an existing constitutive model. The modified constitutive model (MC) was obtained based on the original constitutive model (OC) by introducing a new parameter to compensate for the error between the experimental data and predicted values. Compared to the original model, the developed model provides a better description of the flow behavior of Ti-10-2-3 alloy at elevated temperatures over the specified deformation domain.

In order to study the workability and optimize hot forming processing parameters for GH4169 superalloy, the hot deformation behaviors are investigated. The results show that the flow stress strongly depends on the strain rate, deformation temperature and strain. With the increase of strain rates and the decrease of deformation temperature, the flow stress increases. The flow stress exhibits an initial increase with the strain until a peak stress value, showing a obvious work hardening. After the peak stress, increasing strain results in the decrease of stress, indicating a dynamic flow softening. A revised constitutive equation incorporating the effects of temperature, strain rate and work-hardening rate of the material is established by compensation of strain. A good agreement between the measured and predicted results shows that the established model can give an accurate prediction of the flow behavior of GH4169 superalloy.

The constitutive modeling of aluminum alloy under warm forming conditions generally considers the influence of temperature and strain rate. It has been shown by published flow stress curves of Al-Mg alloy that there is nearly no effect of strain rate on initial yield stress at various temperatures. However, most constitutive models ignored this phenomenon and may lead to inaccurate description. In order to capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, Peric model is modified via introducing plastic strain to multiply the strain rate, for eliminating the effect of strain rate when the plastic strain is zero. Other constitutive models including the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric are also considered and compared. The results show that the modified Peric model could not only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress, but also capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, while the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric model can only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress. Moreover, the modified Peric model could obtain proper static yield stress more naturally, and this property may have potential applications in rate-dependent simulations.

The hot compressive deformation behaviors of ZHMn34-2-2-1 manganese brass are investigated on Thermecmastor-Z thermal simulator over wide processing domain of temperatures (923K-1073K) and strain rates (0.01s-1-10s-1). The true stress-strain curves exhibit a single peak stress, after which the stress monotonously decreases until a steady state stress occurs, indicating a typical dynamic recrystallization. A revised constitutive model coupling flow stress with strain, strain rate and deformation temperature is established with the material constants expressed by polynomial fitting of strain. Moreover, better prediction ability of the constitutive model is achieved by implementation of a simple approach for modified the Zener-Hollomon parameter considering the compensation of strain rate and temperature increment. By comparing the predicted and experimented values, the correlation coefficient and mean absolute relative error are 0.997 and 2.363%, respectively. The quantitative statistical results indicate that the proposed constitutive model can precisely characterize the hot deformation behavior of ZHMn34-2-2-1 manganese brass.

The hot flow stress of a typical stainless steel was modeled by the Hollomon equation, a modified form of the Hollomon equation, and another modified form based on the Fields–Backofen equation. The coupled effect of the deformation temperature and strain rate was also taken into account in the proposed formulae by consideration of the Zener–Hollomon parameter or dependency of the constants on temperature. The modified Fields–Backofen equation was found to be appropriate for prediction of flow stress, in which the incorporation of peak strain and consideration of temperature dependencies of the strain rate sensitivity and the stress coefficient were found to be beneficial. Moreover, the simplicity of the proposed model justifies its applicability for expressing hot flow stress characterizing dynamic recrystallization (DRX).
