In order to improve the understanding of the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behaviors of TA15 titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V), a series of experiments were conducted on a TMTS thermal simulator at temperatures of 1173 K, 1203 K, 1223 K, and 1273 K with the strain rates of 0.005 s−1, 0.05 s−1, 0.5 s−1, and 1 s−1. By the regression analysis for conventional hyperbolic sine equation, the activation energy of DRX inα+βtwo-phase region isQS=588.7 Kg/moland inβregion isQD=225.8 Kg/mol, and a dimensionless parameter controlling the stored energy was determined asZ/A=ε˙exp(588.7×103)/RT/6.69×1026inα+βtwo-phase region and asZ/A=ε˙exp(225.8×103)/RT/5.13×1011inβregion. The DRX behaviors of TA15 titanium alloy were proposed on the strength of the experiment results. Finally, the theoretical prediction results of DRX volume fraction were shown to be in agreement with experimental observations.

A Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK)-model was established for dynamic recrystallization in hot deformation process of 52100 steel. The effects of hot deformation temperature, true strain and strain rate on the microstructural evolution of the steel were physically studied by using Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator and the experimental results were used for validation of the JMAK-model. Through simulation and experiment, it is found that the predicted results of DRX volume fraction, DRX grain size and average grain size are in good agreement with the experimental ones.

Isothermal compressions of as-cast near-α Ti90 titanium alloy were carried out on a Gleeble-3800 simulator in the temperature range of 860–1040 °C and strain rates of 0.001–10 s−1. The deformation behavior of the alloy was characterized based on the analyses of flow curves, the constructions of Arrhenius constitutive equations and the processing map. The microstructure evolution of the alloy was analyzed using the optical microscopic (OM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques. The results show that the kinking and dynamic globularization of α lamellae is the dominant mechanism of flow softening in the α + β two-phase region, while the dynamic recovery (DRV) of β phase is the main softening mechanism in the β single-phase region. The dynamic globularization of α lamellae is mainly caused by the wedging of β phase into α laths and the shearing of α laths due to imposed shear strain. The activation of prismatic and pyramidal slip is found to be easier than that of basic slip during the deformation in the α + β two-phase region. In addition, the Schmid factor of equiaxial α is different from that of lamellar α, which also varies with the angle between its geometric orientation and compression direction (CD). Based on the processing map, the low η region within the temperature range of 860–918 °C with a strain rate range of 0.318–10 s−1 should be avoided to prevent the occurrence of deformation instability.

In order to develop a third-generation automobile steel with powerful strength and elongation, we propose a method through high temperature quenching and two-phase region reverse-phase transformation annealing to develop such steel with 0.13% C and 5.4% Mn. To investigate the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of manganese steel, SEM, XRD and TEM are employed in our experiments. Experimental results indicate that the microstructure after quenching is mainly lath martensite microstructure with average of lath width at 0.5 μm. The components of the steel after along with reverse-phase transformation annealing are ultra-fine grain ferrite, lath martensite and different forms of austenite microstructure. When the temperature at 625 °C, the components of the steel mainly includes lath martensite microstructure and ultra-fine grain ferrite and the fraction of austenite volume is only 5.09%. When the annealing temperature of reverse-phase transformation increase into 650 °C and 675 °C, the austenite appears in the boundary of the ferritic grain boundary and the boundary of lath martensite as the forms of bulk and lath. The phenomenon appears in the bulk of austenite, and the size of is 0.22 μm, 0.3 μm. The fraction of austenite volume is 22.34% at 675 °C and decreases into 9.32% at 700 °C. The components of austenite mainly includes ultra-fine grained ferrite and lath martensite. Furthermore, the density of decreases significantly, and the width of martensite increases into 0.32 μm. In such experimental settings, quenching at 930 °C with 20 min and at 675 °C with 30 min reverse-phase transformation annealing, the austenite volume fraction raises up to 22.34%.

A self-designed Ti-35421 (Ti-3Al-5Mo-4Cr-2Zr-1Fe wt%) titanium alloy is a new type of low-cost high strength titanium alloy. In order to understand the hot deformation behavior of Ti-35421 alloy, isothermal compression tests were carried out under a deformation temperature range of 750–930 °C with a strain rate range of 0.01–10 s−1 in this study. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to characterize the microstructure prior to and post hot deformation. The results show that the stress–strain curves have obvious yielding behavior at a high strain rate (>0.1 s−1). As the deformation temperature increases and the strain rate decreases, the α phase content gradually decreases in the α + β phase region. Meanwhile, spheroidization and precipitation of α phase are prone to occur in the α + β phase region. From the EBSD analysis, the volume fraction of recrystallized grains was very low, so dynamic recovery (DRV) is the dominant deformation mechanism of Ti-35421 alloy. In addition to DRV, Ti-35421 alloy is more likely to occur in continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) than discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX).

AbstractDynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of a vanadium microalloyed steel pipe was systematically investigated at temperatures range of 850–1,200 °C and a strain rate of 5 s−1 on a Gleeble-3800 thermo-simulation machine. Constitutive equation was obtained by characteristic points of DRX which derived from the strain hardening rate and stress curves. DRX kinetics model was established for determining the recrystallization volume fraction (X). Effect of dynamic precipitation of V(C, N) imposed on DRX at temperatures from 850–1,000 °C was analyzed. Results show that true stress-strain curves exhibited no clearly defined stress peaks with typical dynamic recovery behavior. X increased from 43.9 % to 100 % with increasing deformation temperature, which was in reasonable agreement with the observation of microstructure. Moreover, the calculation pinning force of V(C, N) precipitates was weaker than the recrystallization driving force, revealing that V(C, N) precipitates could effectively retard rather than prevent the progress of DRX.

AbstractThe high-temperature plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization behavior of BT25y alloy were investigated within the deformation temperatures of 1,213–1,293 K and strain rates of 0.001–1.0 s–1 on a Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator. Results showed that the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism played an important role in the hot deformation of BT25y alloy. Based on the regression analysis of the true stress–strain data, the stress exponent and deformation activation energy of BT25y alloy were calculated to be 3.4912 and 288.0435 kJ/mol, respectively. The θ-σ and dθ/dσ–σ curves were plotted to further obtain the critical stress and critical strain for the occurrence of DRX. Based on the analysis results, the DRX kinetic model was established. The model was validated by the comparison between predicted and experimental volume fraction of DRX. As the DRX evolution was sensitive to deformation temperature and strain rate, quantities of dynamically recrystallized grains appeared at higher temperatures and lower strain rates.
