M50NiL steel, which belongs to a new generation of case-hardening steels used in aerospace bearing applications, is used mainly for the manufacturing of aerospace transmission components that operate under high temperatures. In this study, the effects of the hot deformation parameters and the initial microstructure on the hot deformation behavior of M50NiL steel were investigated through Gleeble-3500 isothermal hot compression tests. The experimental results demonstrated that the critical stain of dynamic recrystallization and the deformation activation energy of the coarse-grained samples were higher than those of the fine-grained samples. This is attributed to the difficulty of deformation and the dynamic recrystallization behavior of coarse-grained samples. Moreover, fine-grained samples contain a large number of dispersed phases, which can pin the grain boundaries and inhibit the growth of recrystallized grains. Such phenomena are beneficial for obtaining finer and more uniform microstructures in M50NiL steel. The experimental results can provide a useful reference for preparing M50NiL steel with excellent mechanical properties.

Hot deformation behavior of Fe-30Mn-0.11C steel was investigated. Hot compression tests were carried out at various temperatures ranging from 800 °C to 1200 °C and at different strain rates of 0.01 s−1 to 10 s−1. The constitutive equation based on peak stress was established. Hot processing maps at different strains and recrystallization diagrams were also established and analyzed. The results show that dynamic recrystallization easily occur at high deformation temperatures and low strain rates. Safe and unstable zones are determined at the true strain of 0.6 and 0.7, and the hot deformation process parameters of partial dynamic recrystallization of the tested steel are also obtained.

The hot deformation behavior of a H10 hot work tool steel was studied by performing hot compression tests over the temperature range of 900 to 1200 °C and strain rates of 0.001–1 s−1 and total strain of 0.7. At temperatures below 1100 °C, the grain size is fine and below 20 μm. In this temperature range, grain size increase with temperature due to dissolution of carbides. Then by increasing temperature to 1150 and 1200 °C, the grain size is increased significantly due to growth of grains. The study on the effect of strain rate showed that at constant temperature of 1000 °C, the grain size increased from 4.8 to 6 μm with increasing strain rate from 0.001 to 1 s−1. Also, this increase in the strain rate at temperature of 1100 °C lead to increase the grain size from 5.9 to 17 μm, due to the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization. At 1200 °C growth of grains causes to decrease grain size from 112 to 87 μm by increasing strain rate. According to the microstructural investigations, at the temperatures of 1000 and 1100 °C and strain rates of 0.01 and 0.1 s−1 dynamic recrystallization was the main softening mechanism. As a result, the most suitable range for hot deformation was obtained at the temperature range of 1000–1100 °C and strain rates of 0.01–0.1 s−1.

The hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of a 7.5 vol% TiBw/near α-Ti composite with fine matrix microstructure were investigated under the deformation conditions in a temperature range of 800–950 °C and strain rate range of 0.001–1 s−1 using plane strain compression tests. The flow stress curves show different characteristics according to the various deformation conditions. At a higher strain rate (1 s−1), the flow stress of the composite continuously increases until a peak value is reached. The activation energy is 410.40 kJ/mol, much lower than the activation energy of as-sintered or as-forged composites. The decreased activation energy is ascribed to the breaking of the TiBw reinforcement during the multi-directional forging and the resultant fine matrix microstructure. Refined reinforcement and refined matrix microstructure significantly improve the hot deformation ability of the composite. The deformation conditions determine the morphology and fraction of α and β phases. At 800–900 °C and 0.01 s−1 the matrix α grains are much refined due to the continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). The processing map is constructed based on the hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution. The optimal hot processing window is determined to be 800–950 °C/0.001–0.01 s−1, which lead to CDRX of primary α grains or dynamic recovery (DRV) and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of β phase.

The hot deformation behavior of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy was investigated by hot compression test at deformation temperatures varying from 320 to 440 °C with strain rates ranging from 0.01 to 10 s−1. The results show that the Mg(Zn, Cu)2 particles as a result of the sufficient static precipitation prior to hot compression have an influence on flow softening. A constitutive model compensated with strain was developed from the experimental results, and it proved to be accurate for predicting the hot deformation behavior. Processing maps at various strains were established. The microstructural evolution demonstrates that the dominant dynamic softening mechanism stems from dynamic recovery (DRV) and partial dynamic recrystallization (DRX). The recrystallization mechanism is continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). The microstructure observations are in good agreement with the results of processing maps. On account of the processing map and microstructural observation, the optimal hot processing parameters at a strain of 0.6 are at deformation temperature range of 390–440 °C and strain rate range of 0.010–0.316 s−1 with a peak efficiency of 0.390.

In this study, the hot deformation of a Cu–0.55Sn–0.08La (wt.%) alloy was studied using a Gleeble-3180 testing machine at deformation temperatures of 400–700 °C and various strain rates. The stress–strain curve showed that the hot deformation behavior of the Cu–0.55Sn–0.08La (wt.%) alloy was significantly affected by work hardening, dynamic recovery, and dynamic recrystallization. The activation energy Q was 261.649 kJ·mol−1 and hot compression constitutive equation was determined as  ε˙=[sinh(0.00651σ)]10.2378·exp(33.6656−261.649RT). The microstructural evolution of the alloy during deformation at 400 °C revealed the presence of both slip and shear bands in the grains. At 700 °C, dynamic recrystallization grains were observed, but recrystallization was incomplete. In summary, these results provide the theoretical basis for the continuous extrusion process of alloys with promising application prospects in the future.
