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.

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.

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 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.

The hot deformation behaviors of Aluminum alloy C919 were studied in the present investigation. The hot compression tests for C919 were carried out in the temperature range of 350°C~470°C and strain rates range of 0.001s-1~1s-1 using GLEEBLE-1500 thermal simulate testing machine. Optical microscopy (OM) was used for the microstructure characterization. The experimental results showed that the flow stress of C919 aluminum alloy decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rates and the flow stress curves tended to increase at a strain rate of 1s-1 with increasing strain, while the flow stresses kept with increasing strain at lower strain rate. The alloys were more prone to dynamic recrystallization with decreasing strain rates during hot deformation. The hot compression behavior of C919 aluminum alloy can be described as hyperbolic sine function corrected Arrhenius relation. The processing maps for the alloy were built at a strain of 0.6. The instability deformation domain occurred at temperatures range from 350°C and 380°C and at a strain rate of 0.1-1s-1. Based on the processing maps and microstructure observations, the optimum hot-working parameters were determined to be at a temperature of 470°C in the strain rate range from 0.1-0.01s−1 for the C919 aluminum alloy.

The hot deformation behavior of the aerospace Ti-10-2-3 alloy was investigated by isothermal compression tests at temperatures of 740 to 820 °C and strain rates of 0.0005 to 10 s−1. The results show that the studied alloy is extremely sensitive to deformation parameters, like the temperature and strain rate. The temperature mainly affects the magnitude of flow stress at larger strains, while the strain rate not only affects the value of flow stress but also the shape of the flow curves. At low strain rates, the flow stress increases with strain, followed by a broad peak and then remains almost constant. At high strain rates, the flow curves exhibit a hardening to a sharp peak at small strains, followed by a rapid dropping to a plateau caused by dynamic softening. In order to describe such flow behavior, a constitutive model considering the effect of deformation parameters was developed as an extension of an existing constitutive model. The modified constitutive model (MC) was obtained based on the original constitutive model (OC) by introducing a new parameter to compensate for the error between the experimental data and predicted values. Compared to the original model, the developed model provides a better description of the flow behavior of Ti-10-2-3 alloy at elevated temperatures over the specified deformation domain.
