This work uses flow stresses obtained experimentally at different strain rates and temperatures to validate flow modelling results. Flow curves of Ti6Al4V are measured via torsion experiments with a Gleeble® 3800 up to effective strains of 8. A physically based model that describes the evolutions of microstructure and the flow stress in the β-phase field was developed. A model of continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) based on the work of Gourdet and Montheillet [1] for aluminium alloys is combined in this work with elements taken from Kocks and Mecking [2]. The model consists of a detailed description of the microstructure, based on different dislocation density populations and grain boundaries. All these internal variables evolve according to a production and a recovery term correlated mathematically with the temperature and the strain rate. The modelled output variables besides the flow stress are the total, the interior and the wall dislocation densities as well as the subgrain and grain sizes developed by continuous dynamic recrystallization. The model describes the softening occurring during large strain deformations, which is partly produced by the formation of new high angle grain boundaries (HAGB). The fraction of HAGB was used to determine the recrystallization grade, validated with microstructural characterization.

AbstractMicrostructural evolution in the TiC-reinforced Mo–Si–B-based alloy during tensile creep deformation at 1,500°C and 137 MPa was investigated via scanning electron microscope-backscattered electron diffraction (SEM-EBSD) observations. The creep curve of this alloy displayed no clear steady state but was dominated by the tertiary creep regime. The grain size of the Moss phase increased in the primary creep regime. However, the grain size of the Moss phase was found to remarkably decrease to <10 µm with increasing creep strain in the tertiary creep regime. The EBSD observations revealed that the refinement of the Moss phase occurred by continuous dynamic recrystallization including the transformation of low-angle grain boundaries to high-angle grain boundaries. Accordingly, the deformation of this alloy is most likely to be governed by the grain boundary sliding and the rearrangement of Moss grains such as superplasticity in the tertiary creep regime. In addition, the refinement of the Moss grains surrounding large plate-like T2 grains caused the rotation of their surfaces parallel to the loading axis and consequently the cavitation preferentially occurred at the interphases between the end of the rotated T2 grains and the Moss grains.

Abstract The reoccurring cyclic load imposed onto soldered electronic components during their operation time leads to accumulation of inelastic strains in the structure. On a microscale level, the degree of plastic deformation is determined by the formation and annihilation of dislocations, leading to continuous refinement by creation of new grain boundaries, precipitates relocation and growth. This microstructure rearrangement, triggered by an increasing amount of inelastic deformation, is defined as dynamic recrystallization. This work presents a macroscale modelling approach for the description of continuous dynamic recrystallization observed in Sn-based solder connections. The model used in this work describes kinetics of macroscopic gradual evolution of equivalent grain size, where the initial grain size is continuously refined with increasing accumulated inelastic strain until a saturation grain size is reached. The rate and distribution of dynamic recrystallization is further numerically modelled dependent on the effective accumulated inelastic strain and governing stress multiaxiality. A parameter study of the presented model and its employment in finite element (FE) simulation is further described. Finally, FE simulation of the grain size evolution is demonstrated on an example of a bulky sample under isothermal cyclic mechanical loading, as well as a BGA-like structure under tensile, shear and mixed mode cyclic load.

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.

The deformation behaviors of as-cast Mg-11Gd-2Y-Zn-Zr magnesium alloy were investigated by compression test with Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator at temperature of 623-753K and strain rate of 0.01-0.5 s-1. The flow stress behaviors of the magnesium alloy were carried out at a strain of 0.7. The strain rate and deformation temperature had great influence on the flow stress behaviors. The flow stress increases with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature. The flow stress has more than one peak stress at a strain rate of 0.5s-1showing continuous dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism, while other flow stresses exhibited only one peak stress indicating discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) mechanism. It was also found that the flow stress behavior could be described by the hyperbolic sine constitutive equation, in which the determined average activation energy is 273.426 kJ·mol-1. The maximum error value between calculated value and experimental value is 5.5%. The deformation map was also established, and the best parameter for hot working was found to be 0.1s-1/753k approximately.
