AbstractThe hot deformation characteristics of nickel-based alloy Nimonic 80A were investigated by isothermal compression tests conducted in the temperature range of 1,000–1,200°C and the strain rate range of 0.01—5 s–1on a Gleeble-1500 thermomechanical simulator. In order to establish the constitutive models for dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior and flow stress of Nimonic 80A, the material constantsα,nand DRX activation energyQin the constitutive models were calculated by the regression analysis of the experimental data. The dependences of initial stress, saturation stress, steady-state stress, dynamic recovery (DRV) parameter, peak strain, critical strain and DRX grain size on deformation parameters were obtained. Then, the Avrami equation including the critical strain for DRX and the peak strain as a function of strain was established to describe the DRX volume fraction. Finally, the constitutive model for flow stress of Nimonic 80A was developed in DRV region and DRX region, respectively. The flow stress values predicted by the constitutive model are in good agreement with the experimental ones, which indicates that the constitutive model can give an accurate estimate for the flow stress of Nimonic 80A under the deformation conditions.

The hot deformation behavior of selected non-alloyed carbon steels was investigated by isothermal continuous uniaxial compression tests. Based on the analysis of experimentally determined flow stress curves, material constants suitable for predicting peak flow stress σp, peak strain εp and critical strain εcrDRX necessary to induce dynamic recrystallization and the corresponding critical flow stresses σcrDRX were determined. The validity of the predicted critical strains εcrDRX was then experimentally verified. Fine dynamically recrystallized grains, which formed at the boundaries of the original austenitic grains, were detected in the microstructure of additionally deformed specimens from low-carbon investigated steels. Furthermore, equations describing with perfect accuracy a simple linear dependence of the critical strain εcrDRX on peak strain εp were derived for all investigated steels. The determined hot deformation activation energy Q decreased with increasing carbon content (also with increasing carbon equivalent value) in all investigated steels. A logarithmic equation described this dependency with reasonable accuracy. Individual flow stress curves of the investigated steels were mathematically described using the Cingara and McQueen model, while the predicted flow stresses showed excellent accuracy, especially in the strains ranging from 0 to εp.

The hot deformation behaviors and microstructural evolution of Mg-3.0Nd-0.2Zn-0.4Zr (wt. %, NZ30K) alloy were investigated by means of the isothermal hot compression tests at temperatures of 350-500 °C with strain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1s-1. The results showed that the flow stress increased to a peak and then decreased which showed a dynamic flow softening. The flow stress behavior was described by the hyperbolic sine constitutive equation with an average activation energy of 193.8 kJ/mol. The average size of dynamically recrystallized grains of hot deformed NZ30K alloy was reduced by increasing the strain rate and/or decreasing the deformation temperature. A large amount of fine particles precipitated in the grains interior and at the grain boundaries when heated to the compression temperatures and soaked for 5min below 450 °C. However, the volume fraction of particles decreased significantly when soaked for 5 min at 500 °C, and the coarse particles precipitated mainly at the grain boundaries. Hot deformation at the temperature of 500 °C around and at the strain rate range of 0.1s-1 was desirable for NZ30K alloy.

Hot compression tests were carried out on a Gleeble-3800 thermal mechanical simulator in the temperature range from 700 to 900 °C and strain rate range from 0.005 to 10 s−1 to investigate the hot deformation behavior of B1500HS high-strength steel. Softening mechanisms of B1500HS high-strength steel under different deformation conditions were analyzed according to the characteristics of flow stress–strain curves. By analyzing and processing the experimental data, the values of steady flow stress, saturated stress, dynamic recovery (DRV) softening coefficient, and other factors were solved and these parameters were expressed as functions of Zener–Hollomon factors. Based on the dislocation density theory and the kinetic model of dynamic recrystallization (DRX), constitutive models corresponding to different softening mechanisms were established. The flow stress–strain curves of B1500HS predicted by a constitutive model are in good agreement with the experimental results and the correlation coefficient is . The comparison results indicate that the constitutive models can accurately reflect the deformation behavior of B1500HS high-strength steel under different conditions.

The deformation behaviour of a coarse-grained as-cast medium-carbon steel, alloyed with 1.2% Mn, 0.8% Cr and 0.2% Mo, was studied by uniaxial compression tests for the strain rates of 0.02 s−1–20 s−1 in the unusually wide range of temperatures (650–1280 °C), i.e., in various phase regions including the region with predominant bainite content (up to the temperature of 757 °C). At temperatures above 820 °C, the structure was fully austenitic. The hot deformation activation energies of 648 kJ·mol−1 and 364 kJ·mol−1 have been calculated for the temperatures ≤770 °C and ≥770 °C, respectively. This corresponds to the significant increase of flow stress in the low-temperature bainitic region. Unique information on the hot deformation behaviour of bainite was obtained. The shape of the stress-strain curves was influenced by the dynamic recrystallization of ferrite or austenite. Dynamically recrystallized austenitic grains were strongly coarsened with decreasing strain rate and growing temperature. For the austenitic region, the relationship between the peak strain and the Zener–Hollomon parameter has been derived, and the phenomenological constitutive model describing the flow stress depending on temperature, true strain rate and true strain was developed. The model can be used to predict the forming forces in the seamless tubes production of the given steel.

The hot-deformation behavior of the as-cast Mn18Cr18N high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel, produced with the electroslag-remelting metallurgical technology, was studied using isothermal-compression tests in a temperature range of 1223–1473 K) and a strain-rate range of 0.001–1 s–1). The flow-stress curves of the Mn18Cr18N steel were obtained under different hot-deformation conditions. By establishing the hyperbolic sine-law Zener-Hollomon equation, the hot-deformation activation energy of the Mn18Cr18N steel was obtained. Based on the mechanism of dislocation evolution, a physically-based constitutive model was established. In addition, the expression of the dynamic-recovery coefficient of the model was modified. Compared with the model before the modification, the modified constitutive model could effectively improve the prediction accuracy of the flow stress for the as-cast Mn18Cr18N austenitic stainless steel.

AbstractEvolution for the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) volume fraction of Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-1Zr near β titanium alloy during hot deformation was characterized by using the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami–Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation. To determine the equation parameters, a series of thermal simulation experiments at the temperature of 1023–1098 K and strain rate of 0.001–1 s‒1 to the true strain of 0.7 were conducted to obtain the essential data about stress σ and strain ε. By further transforming the relationship of σ versus ε into the relationship of strain hardening rate dσ/dε versus σ, two characteristic strains at the beginning of DRX (critical strain εc) and at the peak stress (peak strain εp) were identified from the dσ/dε-σ curves. Sequentially, the parameters in the JMAK equation were determined from the linear fitting of the different relationships among critical strain εc, peak strain εp and deformation conditions (including temperature T, strain rate $\dot \varepsilon $ and strain ε). The as-obtained JMAK equation was expressed as XDRX=1-exp[-0.0053((ε-εc)/εc)2.1], where εc=0.6053εp and εp=0.0031$\dot \varepsilon $0.0081exp(28,781/RT). Finally, the JMAK equation was implanted into finite element program to simulate the hot compression of thermal simulation experiments. The simulation predictions and experimental results about the DRX volume fraction distribution showed a good consistency.

2219Al and 2219Al + 0.1 wt % Ag alloys were processed by casting route. The hot compression tests were carried out at constant true strain rates and temperatures in the range of 10−3 to 101 s−1 and 300–500 °C, respectively. Flow stress of the alloy decreases with the addition of silver. The flow stress of both alloys increases with the decrease in deformation temperature and the increase in strain rates. Constitutive models correlating the peak flow stress with deformation temperature and strain rates for the two alloys were developed using hyperbolic–sine relationship. The activation energy for hot deformation of 2219 Al alloy decreases with the addition of silver. Comparison of the predicted and experimental values of peak flow stress reveals that 92% of the data could be predicted within a deviation error of ±10% indicating good predictive capability for the developed constitutive relationships.

The compression tests in a temperature range of 400–540 °C and strain rates of 0.1–15 s−1 were applied to novel Al-Cu-Y(Er)-Mg-Mn-Zr alloys to investigate their hot deformation behavior. The higher volume fraction of the intermetallic particles with a size of 0.5–4 µm in the alloys caused an increase in flow stress. Hyperbolic sine law constitutive models were constructed for the hot deformation behavior of Al-Cu-Y(Er)-Mg-Mn-Zr alloys. Effective activation energy has a higher value in the alloys with Er than in the alloys with Y. According to the processing maps, the temperature range of 420–480 °C and strain rates higher than 5 s−1 are the most unfavorable region for hot deformation for the investigated alloys. The deformation at 440 °C and 15 s−1 led to cracks on the surface of the sample. However, internal cracks were not observed in the microstructure after deformation. The optimum hot deformation temperatures were in a range of 500–540 °C and at strain rates of 0.1–15 s−1.

Alloy 825 is widely used in several industries, but its useful service life is limited by both mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The current work explores the effect of the addition of magnesium on the recrystallization and mechanical behavior of alloy 825 under hot compression. Compression tests were performed under conditions representative of typical forming processes: temperatures between 1100 and 1250 °C and at strain rates of 0.1–10 s−1 to a true strain of 0.7. Microstructural evolution was characterized by electron backscattered diffraction. Dynamic recrystallization was found to be more prevalent under all test conditions in samples containing magnesium, but not in all cases of conventional alloy 825. The texture direction ⟨101⟩ was the dominant orientation parallel to the longitudinal direction of casting (also the direction in which the samples were compressed) in samples that contained magnesium under all test conditions, but not in any sample that did not contain magnesium. For all deformation conditions, the peak stress was approximately 10% lower in material with the addition of magnesium. Furthermore, the differences in the peak strain between different temperatures are approximately 85% smaller if magnesium is present. The average activation energy for hot deformation was calculated to be 430 kJ mol−1 with the addition of magnesium and 450 kJ mol−1 without magnesium. The average size of dynamically recrystallized grains in both alloys showed a power law relation with the Zener–Hollomon parameter, DD~Z−n, and the exponent of value, n, is found to be 0.12. These results can be used to design optimized compositions and thermomechanical treatments of alloy 825 to maximize the useful service life under current service conditions. No experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of such changes on the service life and such experiments should now be performed.

The hot deformation behavior of SiC/6168Al composite was studied by means of hot compression tests in the temperature range of 300-450 °C and strain rate range of 0.01-10 s-1. The constitutive model was developed to predict the stress-strain curves of this composite during hot deformation. This model was established by considering the effect of the strain on material constants calculated by using the Zenter-Hollomon parameter in the hyperbolic Arrhenius-type equation. It was found that the relationship of n, α, Q, lnA and ε could be expressed by a five-order polynomial. The stress-strain curves obtained by this model showed a good agreement with experimental results. The proposed model can accurately describe the hot flow behavior of SiC/6168Al composite, and can be used to numerically analyze the hot forming processes.
