AbstractIn this study, the logarithmic-power model has been used to predict hot deformation behavior of alloy 800H at high temperatures. This is for the first time that the logarithmic-power model is examined to model the flow stress curves with negligible flow softening at high strain rates. To this end, flow stress curves of alloy 800H obtained at deformation temperatures from 850°C to 1050°C and at strain rates of 5 and 10 S−1 were employed. The Johnson–Cook model and Shafiei constitutive equation were also used to prove the accuracy of the logarithmic-power model in prediction of flow stress curves of alloy 800H. Evaluation of mean error of flow stress at different deformation conditions showed that the logarithmic-power model can give a more precise estimation of flow stress curves than Johnson–Cook model. Furthermore, it was found out that the accuracy of the Logarithmic-power model and Shafiei constitutive equation was roughly the same in terms of maximum errors obtained in prediction of flow stress curves. Accordingly, it can be concluded that the logarithmic-power model can be employed as a comprehensive model for a wide range of deformation conditions.

The H13-mod steel optimized by composition and heat treatment has reached the performance index of the shield machine hob. The hot deformation behavior of the H13-mod steel was investigated by compression tests in the temperature range from 900 to 1150 °C and the strain rate range from 0.01 to 10 s−1. The true stress-strain curve showed that the rising stress at the beginning of deformation was mainly caused by work hardening. After the peak stress was attained, the curve drop and the flow softening phenomenon became more obvious at low strain rates. The flow behavior of the H13-mod steel was predicted by a strain-compensated Arrhenius-type constitutive equation. The relationship between the material constant in the Arrhenius-type constitutive equation and the true strain was established by a sixth-order polynomial. The correlation coefficient between the experimental value and the predicted value reached 0.987, which indicated that the constitutive equation can accurately estimate the flow stress during the deformation process. A good linear correlation was achieved between the peak stress (strain), critical stress (strain) and the Zener‒Hollomon parameters. The processing maps of the H13-mod steel under different strains were established. The instability region was mainly concentrated in the high-strain-rate region; however, the microstructure did not show any evidence of instability at high temperatures and high strain rates. Combined with the microstructure and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) test results under different deformations, the optimum hot working parameters were concluded to be 998–1026 °C and 0.01–0.02 s−1 and 1140–1150 °C and 0.01–0.057 s−1.
