As a novel kind of cold roller steel, Cr8 alloy steel has the characteristics of high hardness, high wear resistance and good toughness, which can effectively prolong the service life of the roller that is an important part of the steel rolling mill. How to accurately define the constitutive model parameters of metal materials is the major problem, because it seriously affects the accuracy of numerical simulation results of the roller hot forming process. In the study of Cr8 alloy steel’s thermal deformation behavior of the present paper, the high temperature compression test was done on a Gleebel-1500D thermal/force simulation testing machine. A novel method of parameter identification was proposed based on inverse optimization. The Hansel–Spittel constitutive model was established by using the inverse optimization method. To carry out the verification on the accuracy of the established constitutive model, the predicted flow-stress of constitutive model was made a contrast to the experimental flow-stress, and the standard statistical parameters were also applied to further evaluation. The results showed a relatively high prediction accuracy of the Hansel–Spittel constitutive model based on the inverse optimization algorithm. Meanwhile, to obtain optimal parameters of Cr8 alloy steel in the thermal processing, 3D thermal processing maps concerning strain-rate, strain and temperature were built based on the dynamic material model. According to the 3D processing map, the most adequate thermal processing parameters of Cr8 alloy steel were obtianed as follows: strain 0.2–0.4, strain-rate 0.05–0.005 s−1, temperature 1100–1150 °C.

High-temperature reduction pretreatment (HTRP) is a process that can significantly improve the core quality of a billet. The existing flow stress data cannot meet the needs of simulation due to lack of high temperature data. To obtain the hot forming process parameters for the high-temperature reduction pretreatment process of 42CrMo steel, a hot compression experiment of 42CrMo steel was conducted on Gleeble-3500 thermal-mechanical at 1200–1350 °C with the rates of deformation 0.001–10 s−1 and the deformation of 60%, and its deformation behavior at elevated temperature was studied. In this study, the effects of flow stress temperature and strain rate on austenite grain were investigated. Moreover, two typical constitutive models were employed to describe the flow stress, namely the Arrhenius constitutive model of strain compensation and back propagation artificial neural network (BP ANN) model. The performance evaluation shows that BP ANN model has high accuracy and stability to predict the curve. The thermal processing maps under strains of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 were established. Based on the analysis of the thermal processing map, the optimal high reduction process parameter range of 42CrMo is obtained: the temperature range is 1250–1350 °C, and the strain rate range is 0.01–1 s−1.

In order to obtain the high temperature flow behavior of as-cast SA508-3 low alloy steel, the stress-strain curves of steel are obtained by Gleeble thermal simulation compression test at deformation temperature 800°C-1200°C and strain rate 0.001s-1-1s-1. Based on Laasraoui two-stage flow stress model, a high temperature flow stress model is established by multiple linear regression method. The results show that the peak stress characteristics are not obvious at low temperature and high strain rate, which is a typical dynamic recovery characteristic. Meanwhile, the peak stress characteristics are obvious at high temperature and low strain rate, which is a typical dynamic recrystallization characteristic. By means of the comparisons between experiments and calculations, the Laasraoui two-stage flow stress model can truly reflect flow behavior of steel at high temperature, which provides theoretical guidance for the hot deformation of the steel.

AbstractThe hot deformation behaviors of a solution-treated Ni-based superalloy are investigated by hot compression tests over wide ranges of strain rate and forming temperature. Based on the experimental data, the effects of forming temperature and strain rate on the hot deformation behaviors are discussed in detail. Considering the effects of strain on material constants, comprehensive constitutive models are developed to describe the relationships between the flow stress, strain rate and forming temperature for the studied superalloy. The three-dimensional processing map is constructed to optimize the hot working parameters. Meanwhile, the microstructures are analyzed to correlate with the processing map. It is found that the flow stress is sensitive to the forming temperature, strain rate and deformation degree. With the increase of forming temperature or the decrease of strain rate, the flow stress significantly decreases. The predicted flow stresses agree well with experimentally measured results, which confirm that the developed constitutive model can accurately estimate the flow stress of the studied superalloy. The three-dimensional processing map shows that the optimum deformation windows for hot working are the domains with 980–1,040°C or 0.001–0.1 $${{\rm{s}}^{- {\rm{1}}}}$$ when the strain is 0.6. Also, it is found that the dynamically recrystallized grain size increases with the increase of forming temperature or the decrease of strain rate.

During the forging process GH901 superalloys easily produce cracks and defects, such as coarse crystals in tissues, which affect the performance of the alloy. Using GH901 nickel-based alloy, high-temperature compression tests at deformation temperatures of 990, 1040, 1090 and 1140 °C were carried out in a Thermecmastor-Z thermal simulator, with strain rates 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 s−1. Next, the isothermal forging process of a GH901 disc was simulated using DEFORM finite element simulation software. The results showed that with the increase in deformation temperatures and the decrease in strain rates, the flow stress clearly decreased. The flow stress constitutive model of GH901 superalloy under ε0.3 and the flow stress constitutive model for strain compensation were obtained. The processing map was built, and a reasonable range of thermal processing was obtained. Meanwhile, the isothermal forging simulation verified the reliability of the thermal processing range of the alloy.

This study investigated the constitutive flow behavior and hot workability of in-situ 5wt% TiB2 reinforced 7050 Al alloy matrix composite by hot compression experiments. Based on the experimental results of flow curves, a constitutive model describing the relationship of the flow stress, true strain, strain rate and temperature is proposed. Substantially, it is found the constitutive equation of flow stress is dependent on the strain, strain rate and temperature. The coefficients (E.g., α, n, Q and lnA) in the equation are functions of true strains. The results of the calculated values from constitutive equation are verified to well agree with the experimental values. Furthermore, the processing map of the composite is created in order to determine the hot processing domains. The optimum zones for hot workability and instability regions are identified. In instability domain, the microstructures display the main failure modes as the particle cracking and interface debonding.

The flow behavior of Fe-6.5wt.%Si alloys during hot compression was investigated at temperatures 650–950 °C and strain rates 0.01–10 s-1. The results showed that the flow stress depended distinctly on the deformation temperatures and strain rates. The flow stress and work hardening rate increased with the decrease of temperature and the increase of strain rate. The activation energy under all the deformation conditions was calculated to be 410 kJ/mol. The constitutive equation with hyperbolic sine function and Zener–Hollomon parameter was developed. The peak stress, critical stress, and steady-state stress could be represented as σ=A+Bln(Z/A). Dynamic recrystallization occurred under the deformation conditions where the values of Z were lower than 1020. Processing maps were established to optimize the processing parameters. The power dissipation efficiency decreased in the high temperature and low strain rate region, increased in the high temperature and high strain rate region, and remained unchanged in other regions with the increase of true strain. Furthermore, the unstable area expanded. The true strain of 0.7 was the optimum reduction according to the processing map. Based on the analysis of surface quality, microstructures, and ordered structures, the optimized processing parameters for the Fe-6.5wt.%Si alloys were the temperature and strain rate of higher than 900 °C and 0.01–10 s-1, respectively, or 800–900 °C and lower than 0.4 s-1, respectively.

2219 aluminum alloy is a kind of high-strength Al-Cu-Mn alloy that can be strengthened by heat treatment. Its mechanical property parameters and forming properties are greatly affected by the deformation rate, temperature and strain. Taking 2219 aluminum alloy extruded bar as the research object, the Gleeble-3500 thermomechanical simulator was used to analyze the thermal compression deformation behavior of 2219 aluminum alloy under different temperatures and strain rates. The results show that the deformation behavior of 2219 aluminum alloy under high temperatures is greatly influenced by the deformation temperature and strain rate, and the flow stress is the result of high-temperature softening, strain hardening and deformation rate hardening. According to the experiment results, the Arrhenius constitutive model and the exponential constitutive model considering the influence of temperature and strain rate, respectively, were established, and the predicted results of the two constitutive models were in good agreement with the test results. On this basis, the processing map of 2219 aluminum alloy was established. Under the same strain rate condition with an increase of the deformation temperature, the power dissipation efficiency increases gradually, and the driving force of 2219 aluminum alloy to change its microstructure increases gradually. At the same deformation temperature, the lower the strain rate, the less possibility of plastic instability.

The hot deformation behavior of TC27 titanium alloy at the temperatures of 900-1150 °C and the strain rate of 0.01-10 s-1, the height reduction of 70%, was investigated in the isothermal compression test to identify the optimal extrusion parameters. The processing-map of TC27 titanium alloy was constructed based on dynamic materials model (DMM) and principle of Prasad*s instability. The conclusion shows that temperature and strain rate of deformation had a great influence on flow stress. At the beginning of deformation, the flow stress increased quickly with the augment of true strain and decreased slowly after flow stress reaching to the maximum value. Finally, flow stress tended to relatively stable condition. The flow stress decreased with the increase of temperature and increased with the increase of strain rate. The TC27 titanium alloy was sensitive to temperature and strain rate. Processing-map exhibited two peak efficiencies of power dissipation; one peak was 49% at 900°C/0.01 s-1, which dynamic recovery occured. The other peak was also 49% at 1050 °C /0.01s-1, which dynamic recrystallization occured in the domain. Besides, there were two instability areas in the processing-map which should be avoided during the extrusion. Therefore, in order to obtain the satisfactory properties, the parameters that 1050 °C and 0.01 s-1 were selected in the extrusion.

AbstractHigh temperature deformation behavior of BFe10-1-2 cupronickel alloy was investigated by means of isothermal compression tests in the temperature range of 1,023~1,273 K and strain rate range of 0.001~10 s–1. Based on orthogonal experiment and variance analysis, the significance of the effects of strain, strain rate and deformation temperature on the flow stress was evaluated. Thereafter, a constitutive equation was developed on the basis of the orthogonal analysis conclusions. Subsequently, standard statistical parameters were introduced to verify the validity of developed constitutive equation. The results indicated that the predicted flow stress values from the constitutive equation could track the experimental data of BFe10-1-2 cupronickel alloy under most deformation conditions.
