The static recrystallization (SRX) behavior of a low carbon Nb–V–Ti microalloyed steel X70 was investigated by two-pass hot compression tests. The compression tests were carried out at deformation temperatures of 1000–1150 °C, strain rates of 0.01–5 s−1, pre-strains of 0.1–0.2 and interval times of 1–50 s. The effects of deformation parameters on SRX behavior were analyzed. The experimental results showed that deformation temperature, pre-strain and strain rate had significant influence on SRX fraction, while initial grain size had a smaller impact. The effects of deformation parameters on SRX microstructure were discussed, and the microstructure evolution process was analyzed. Higher deformation temperature, strain rate and pre-strain lead to larger SRX fraction. The kinetics and recrystallized grain size models for SRX of X70 pipeline steel were developed. Comparison between the predicted results and the experimental ones indicated that the established equations could give a reasonable description for SRX behavior of X70 pipeline steel.

To study the factors that affect the mechanical properties of materials, double-pass hot compression tests were performed under different deformation parameters using a Gleeble-3500 thermo-simulation machine. The static softening behavior of 5754 aluminium alloy during testing was analyzed by the 0.2% offset-stress method. The results show that the static softening fraction was greatly influenced by deformation parameters and rapidly increased with increasing delay time, strain rate and deformation temperature. In addition, a mesoscopic cellular automaton (CA) model was employed to simulate the microstructural evolution of the static recrystallization (SRX) during the double-pass hot compression test of the 5754 aluminium alloy. The results show that the SRX nuclei first formed along the grain boundaries, where the energy was sufficient, and deformation parameters had a significant influence on the SRX of the 5754 aluminium alloy. The recrystallized volume fraction increased with increasing temperature, strain rate, and delay time among deformation stages. The mean recrystallized grain size increased with increasing deformation temperature and delay time. However, the mean grain size was slightly reduced with an increase in the strain rate from 0.1 s−1 to 1 s−1 at constant temperature and delay time.

The main purpose of this study is to develop a numerical model to describe the static recrystallization kinetics in X70 pipeline steel. In order to investigate the static softening behavior, double-hit compression tests were performed on a Gleeble-3500 thermomechanical simulator over a temperature range of 950-1150°C. The interpass time varies from 1-500s. Different values were applied to estimate effects of strain rate and deformation on static recrystallization. The results show that factors such as high temperature, long holding time and lower strain rate will lead to the inclination of softening behavior. The static softening activation energy was obtained. The good agreement between the predicted values and experimental results indicated the validation of the developed model of this study.

Low alloyed steels produced by continuous casting are thermomechanically treated to achieve final high mechanical properties, meaning a good combination of strength and toughness. The hot deformation mechanisms of a micro-alloyed steel containing up to 0.1wt% of V is studied by means of hot compression tests using a Gleeble®3800 device. Austenitization of samples is carried out at 1150°C during 2 minutes followed by cooling to the deformation temperature at 1Ks-1in the range of 750 – 1150°C. The studied strain rate range is from 0.01 to 80 s-1and the total true strain achieved is of 0.7. In situ water quenching is applied after the deformation to freeze the microstructure and avoid any post dynamic effect. The Ar3temperature is determined by dilatometry experiments to be 725°C for the used cooling rate. The stress values obtained from the compression tests are evaluated at different strains to determine the strain rate sensitivity and flow instability maps and thus, to predict the formability of the material in the range of studied deformation parameters. These maps are correlated to the microstructure at specific deformation parameters.

The MMS-200 thermal simulation testing machine was used to study the static softening behavior of low carbon high niobium microalloyed steel. The effect of niobium to the static recrystallization softening behavior of the microalloy steel had been analyzed by establishing the kinetics model of static recrystallization and the micro-morphology of precipitates. The results indicated that: the static softening behavior of the tested steel significantly influenced by the deformation temperature and the interval pass time of the rolling processing. At relatively high deformation temperature and long interval pass time, the ratio of static softening was increased. Then the deformation temperature was lower to 950°C, and the static softening behavior of the test steel was ceased. But when the deformation temperature was higher than 1000°C, the static softening behavior of the test steel completely occurred. The activation energy of the test steel was 325·mol-1 by the established model calculated.

Isothermal compression tests were conducted to investigate the effect of hot deformation parameters on flow behavior and microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V-0.2O alloy. The experimental results show that the strain rate and height reduction have little effect on the volume fraction of primary α at a deformation temperature of 860 ̊C. At a deformation temperature of 940 ̊C, the volume fraction of primary α at a high strain rate (10s-1) is about 10% less than that at low strain rates (0.01s-1~1s-1). It may be one of the reasons for the significantly discontinuous yielding phenomenon. Another reason is that the dislocation density decreased suddenly due to the dynamic recovery. With the increasing strain rate and the decreasing deformation temperature, the volume fraction of irregular secondary α increases and lamellar secondary α decreases. And with height reduction increasing, the irregular secondary α increases firstly and then tends to be steady because of dynamic recovery and recrystallization.

Hot compression tests of AZ61 magnesium alloy were performed on gleeble1500D at strain rate ranged in 0.01~1s-1 and deformation temperature 350~400°C.The results show that the flow stress and microstructures strongly depend on the deformation temperature and the strain rate. When the temperature was reduced and the strain rate was enhanced, the area after dynamic recrystallization was enhanced, and the average dynamically recrystallied grain size reduce. But the dynamically recrystallied grain size was not well-proportioned. In this paper the 350°C×1s-1 was suggested.

The evolution of the microstructure of a typical nickel-based superalloy GH4169 is investigated by the hot compression tests. The microstructural parameters such as fraction of recrystallization and grain size were analysed quantitatively. The results show that the effects of deforming temperature and strain rate on the dynamic recrystallized grain size are significant. With the deformed temperature increase and the strain rate decrease, the dynamic recrystallized grain size increases.

The microstructural change was observed during large strain high Z deformation with high strain rate in high temperature range using ultra low carbon steel. The finer grains were obtained as decreasing the deformation temperature and increasing the strain rate. And the fraction of high angle grain boundaries became higher in low deformation temperature and strong texture of ferrite recrystallized dynamically was measured such as ND//<100>,<111> and RD//<110>. The change of grain size could be analyzed by Zener-Hollomon parameter, whereas the duration has large effect on the deviation of expected grain size in deformation with high strain rate.

Double compression tests were performed on a Gleeble-3800 thermomechanical simulator to study the softening behaviors of deformed austenite in a V-N microalloyed steel. The static recrystallization volume fractions were calculated by stress offset method, and the kinetic model of static recrystallization was constructed. The effects of temperature, strain, and time interval on the softening behaviors were analyzed, and the interactions between precipitation and recrystallization were discussed. The results show that the softening behaviors of the deformed austenite at lower temperature or higher temperature are markedly different. At the temperature of 850°C or 800°C, pinning effects of the precipitates play the main role, and the recrystallization process is inhibited, which leads to the formation of plateaus in the softening curves. An increase in strain promotes the precipitation and recrystallization processes while reduces the inhibition effect of precipitation on recrystallization as well.
