The cellular automata (CA) model combining topological deformation and adaptive activation energy was successfully constructed to analyze the thermal dynamic recrystallization of the magnesium alloy (AZ61). The simulation datum shown that the recrystallization nucleation located on the grain boundary (GB) once the density of dislocation accumulated to specific value, and the result presents a typical characteristics i.e., repeated nucleation and growth. The simulation results agree well with the experimental results because the activation energy affects recrystallization by affecting nucleation rate.

A large reduction rolling process was used to obtain complete dynamic recrystallization (DRX) microstructures with fine recrystallization grains. Based on the hyperbolic sinusoidal equation that included an Arrhenius term, a constitutive model of flow stress was established for the unidirectional solidification sheet of AZ31 magnesium alloy. Furthermore, discretized by the cellular automata (CA) method, a real-time nucleation equation coupled flow stress was developed for the numerical simulation of the microstructural evolution during DRX. The stress and strain results of finite element analysis were inducted to CA simulation to bridge the macroscopic rolling process analysis with the microscopic DRX activities. Considering that the nucleation of recrystallization may occur at the grain and R-grain boundary, the DRX processes under different deformation conditions were simulated. The evolution of microstructure, percentages of DRX, and sizes of recrystallization grains were discussed in detail. Results of DRX simulation were compared with those from electron backscatter diffraction analysis, and the simulated microstructure was in good agreement with the actual pattern obtained using experiment analysis. The simulation technique provides a flexible way for predicting the morphological variations of DRX microstructure accompanied with plastic deformation on a hot-rolled sheet.

Based on the stress-strain curves at the temperature of 300-450 °C with strain rate of 0.01-1 s−1 by hot compression tests, the empirical dynamic recrystallization models for the semi-continuous AZ31magnesium alloy were developed. The dynamic recrystallization evolution during the seamless tube extrusion of the AZ31 Mg alloy was simulated by numerical method with the derived models and validated by experiment measurements. The results show that at certain extrusion speed the influence of the extruding temperature on the dynamic recrystallization fraction was significant. With the increase of the extruding temperature the volume fraction of dynamic recrystallization increase obviously. The predicted dynamic recrystallization fraction was in an excellent agreement with the experimental results.

Az80 Magnesium Alloy

The microstructure, deformation mechanisms, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior, and texture evolution of AZ80 magnesium alloy were investigated by three-pass cyclic expansion-extrusion (CEE) tests. Optical microscopy (OM), electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were employed to study microstructure, grain orientation, DRX mechanism, and texture evolution. The results show that the grain sizes decrease continuously with the increase of CEE pass. The grain refinement effect of the first pass is the most remarkable, and there appear a large number of twins. After three-pass CEE, a well-distributed structure with fine equiaxed grains is obtained. With the increase of CEE pass, the deformation mechanism changes from twinning to slipping and the DRX mechanism changes mainly from twinning-induced dynamic recrystallization (TDRX) to rotation dynamic recrystallization (RDRX) and then to continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). The grain misorientation between the new grains and matrix grains deceases gradually, and a relatively small angle misorientation is obtained after three-pass CEE. Grain misorientations of the first two passes are attributed to TDRX and RDRX behaviors, respectively. The grain refinement changes the deformation and DRX mechanisms of CEE process, which leads the (0002) basal texture intensity first decrease and then increase suddenly. Eventually, the extremely strong basal texture is formed after three-pass CEE.
