In this study, the kinetics of microstructure evolution during hot rolling of type 316 austenitic stainless steel is investigated. First, its kinetics during the dynamic and static events, known as the material genome, is driven by single- and double-compression tests at several temperatures and strain rates. Inverse analysis is used to obtain the flow curves and regression analysis is applied on the coefficients of these flow curves in order to obtain the parameters of the constitutive equations. This new material genome is then used as the boundary condition on an incremental type formulation, taking the dislocation density as the representative variable, to estimate the flow stress and microstructural evolution after the transient changes during rolling schedules of seamless pipes. Actual rolling schedules are simulated and the microstructural changes are compared to industrial data. The outcome of the grain size evolution was reproduced reasonably well showing that proposed methodology can be used to simulate a complex thermomechanical process akin to the rolling schedules of seamless pipes.

Torsion and compression testing have been used to simulate microstructure evolution of industry processes. Additionally, mathematical modeling of the industry hot rolling processes has been carried out by several researchers. These models employed equations published in the literature describing kinetics of softening, grain size evolution and grain growth. Validation of the models was carried, in some cases, by comparing the microstructure or the average stress per pass, the latter as calculated from industry rolling mill loads. In the present work, torsion simulation and industry trial results were used to validate the mathematical model presented. Equations used in the model were mostly taken from literature and appropriate modifications were implemented concerning basically two points: a) the transfer time between CMM and SRM, a step in the production line typical for seamless rolling and rather unusual for other industry rolling processes and b) the chemical composition used in tube rolling industry where C equivalent values are usually higher than those used in the rolling of flats.

The understanding of the softening behaviour during the hot rolling process is required to optimize the hot rolling schedule. Therefore, the microstructural evolution in the hot rolling of austenitic stainless steel was simulated. In this work, kinetics of grain growth was investigated by means of compression tests using the Gleeble HDS V40 and described by appropriate kinetic equations based on the obtained experimental results. Moreover, numerical simulation was performed using the Simufact.forming software. The results of the numerical simulation were further validated by experimental data, which were obtained from the labour continuous hot rolling of the austenitic stainless steel.

The dynamic recrystallization behavior of 18 Ni maraging steels was investigated by hot compression tests at temperatures ranging from 900 °C to 1100 °C and strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 1 s-1. Based on the flow curves from the tests, the effects of temperatures and strain rates on the dynamic recrystallization behavior were analyzed. The strain-hardening rates versus stress curves were used to determine to the critical strain, the peak stress (strain), the saturated stress and the steady stress. With the assistance of the process parameters, constitutive equations were obtained and the activation energy was determined to be 413544.96 J/mol. The dependence of the characteristic values on Zener-Hollomon was found. The dynamic recrystallization kinetics model of the tested steels was constructed and the validity was confirmed based on the experimental results.

The efficiency factor (η) and the instability factor ([Formula: see text] in deformation processing maps are regarded as the reliable indices of formability during high-temperature deformation. Deformation processing maps are primarily based on strain rate sensitivity ( m) and are usually created by high-temperature compression tests. To analyze the effect of the mode of flow on the deformation processing map, deformation processing maps based on both compressive and tensile flow curves for 304L stainless steel were determined and compared in the current study. As the instantaneous strain rate varies during both the tensile and compression tests when a constant crosshead speed is used, strain rate compensated deformation processing maps have been determined and compared. In addition, the frictional effect of barreling during compression testing on the deformation processing map has been analyzed. Both deformation processing maps based on either compressive or tensile flow curves are estimated to be complementary.

Improved methods to estimate the kinetics of dynamic and static recrystallization are proposed in this paper. The kinetics for dynamic and static recrystallization can be evaluated by inverse analysis of the flow curves obtained using the single-hit and double-hit hot compression tests carried out on Gleeble 3500. The dynamic and static recrystallization volume fractions can be seen as functions of plastic strain and time, respectively. The mathematical formulations between the recrystallization volume fractions and the dislocation density related to the flow stress are used in incremental forms in the study. The methods are applied to the hot compression tests of plain carbon steel and the kinetics of dynamic and static recrystallization are gained successfully for some conditions at elevated temperature. The results are clarified by comparing them with those reported in previous investigations. It is confirmed that the present methods can provide accurate kinetics for dynamic and static recrystallization with shorter time for experiment and computation.

Studies of the initial stages of nucleation of silicon and germanium have yielded insights that point the way to achievement of engineering control over crystal size evolution at the nanometer scale. In addition to their importance in understanding fundamental issues in nucleation, these studies are relevant to efforts to (i) control the size distributions of silicon and germanium “quantum dots𠇍, which will in turn enable control of the optical properties of these materials, (ii) and control the kinetics of crystallization of amorphous silicon and germanium films on amorphous insulating substrates so as to, e.g., produce crystalline grains of essentially arbitrary size.Ge quantum dot nanocrystals with average sizes between 2 nm and 9 nm were formed by room temperature ion implantation into SiO2, followed by precipitation during thermal anneals at temperatures between 30°C and 1200°C[1]. Surprisingly, it was found that Ge nanocrystal nucleation occurs at room temperature as shown in Fig. 1, and that subsequent microstructural evolution occurred via coarsening of the initial distribution.

FeSi steels with and without addition of Al are widely used as electrical steels. To improve the knowledge of the effects by the addition of Si and Al on the hardening and softening under hot rolling conditions, the behaviour of the flow curves in a wide range of temperatures and deformation velocities have been studied.
