The hot deformation characteristics of a GH4169 superalloy are investigated at the temperature and strain rate ranges of 1193–1313 K and 0.01–1 s−1, respectively, through Gleeble-3500 simulator. The hot deformed microstructures are analyzed by optical microscopy (OM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) technology. The effects of deformation parameters on the features of flow curves and annealing twins are discussed in detail. It is found that the shapes of flow curves are greatly affected by the deformation temperature. Broad peaks appear at low deformation temperatures or high strain rates. In addition, the evolution of annealing twins is significantly sensitive to the deformation degree, temperature, and strain rate. The fraction of annealing twins first decreases and then rises with the added deformation degree. This is because the initial annealing twin characters disappear at the relatively small strains, while the annealing twins rapidly generate with the growth of dynamic recrystallized grains during the subsequent hot deformation. The fraction of annealing twins is relatively high when the deformation temperature is high or the strain rate is low. In addition, the important role of annealing twins on dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behaviors are elucidated. The obvious bulging at initial twin boundaries, and the coherency of annealing twin boundaries with dynamic recrystallized grain boundaries, indicates that annealing twins can motivate the DRX nucleation during the hot deformation.

The hot deformation behavior of a nickel based P/M superalloy by spray forming and hot isostaticpressingwas investigated by isothermal compression test at Gleeble 3500 thermal mechanical simulator. The compression test was performed in the temperature ranging from 1025°C to 1150°C and in the strain rate ranging from 10-1/s to 10-3/s. The results show that the flow curves of true stress and true strain exhibit typical dynamic recrystallization and dynamic recovery. Compression temperature and strain rate have a strong effect on the dynamic recrystallization grain refinement.With higher strain rate the refined dynamic recrystallizationmicrostructure can be obtained at deformation temperature lower thanγ′solution temperature. Grain coarsening occurs at the deformation temperature close to γ′solution temperature, and the grain grows up obviously with decreasing strain rate.

AbstractThe flow softening behaviors of a nickel-based superalloy with δ phase are investigated by hot compression tests over wide ranges of deformation temperature and strain rate. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), optical microscopy (OM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are employed to study the flow softening mechanisms of the studied superalloy. It is found that the flow softening behaviors of the studied superalloy are sensitive to deformation temperature and strain rate. At high strain rate and low deformation temperature, the obvious flow softening behaviors occur. With the increase of deformation temperature or decrease of strain rate, the flow softening degree becomes weaken. At high strain rate (1s−1), the flow softening is mostly induced by the plastic deformation heating and flow localization. However, at low strain rate domains (0.001-0.01s−1), the effects of deformation heating on flow softening are slight. Moreover, the flow softening at low strain rates is mainly induced by the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization and the dissolution of δ phase (Ni3Nb).

The deformation behavior and microstructure of 25CrMo4 axle steel was systematically investigated by thermal compression deformation. The hot-compression test of a 25CrMo4 axle steel sample was carried out on a Gleeble-3800 thermal mechanical simulation tester. The flow behavior of the alloy was studied at the deformation temperature (900–1200 °C), strain rates (0.01; 0.1; 1.0) s–1 and the maximum deformation of 60 %. The flow curves under different deformation conditions were obtained, and the effects of the deformation temperature and strain rate on the appearance of the flow curves are discussed. The true stress-strain curve obtained by experiment is modified by friction. Based on the corrected experimental data, the activation energy determined by the regression analysis was Q = 311 kJ/mol, and the constitutive model was constructed. The high-temperature flow behavior of the 25CrMo4 axle steel was described by the Zener-Hollomon parameter. The optimum hot-deformation process parameters were determined based on the hot processing maps, followed by the analysis of the microstructure characteristics of the alloys under optimum hot working. The results show that the suitable hot-deformation process parameters of the alloy are as follows: deformation temperature is 1050–1200 °C, and strain rate is 0.01 s–1 to 0.14 s–1.

The hot deformation behaviors of a ferritic spheroidal cast iron (FSCI) have been investigated by compression testing on a Gleeble 3500 machine of the DSI-YSU Joint Laboratory. The temperature rang was from 1073K to 1273K and strain rate from 10-3 to 1 s-1. The total true stain was 0.7. The result shows that the flow curves obtained are typical of dynamic recrystallization processes. The plots of either the natural logarithms of the corresponding temperature or the natural logarithms of strain rate against the hyperbolic of flow stresses satisfy straight line relationships over the experimental data, indicating that the hot compression of the FSCI is thermally activated. The material constants, including activation energy 0H as 240.8 kJ/mol, stress-level coefficient α as 1.352×10-8 Pa-1, stress exponential n as 3.9937, structural factor A as 5.64×108 s-1, are derived .

The effect of strain rate and deformation temperature on flow stress of TC18 titanium alloy was studied through heat simulating tests in 760~960 with temperature interval and the strain rate interval in 0.01~10s-1. Relationship model of flow stress versus strain was established and hot deformation mechanics of TC18 titanium alloy was analyzed. The results show that the flow stress reduces obviously as the deformation temperature increases or the strain rate decreases. Dynamic recovery occurs at high strain rate above phase transformation point, while dynamic recrystallization occurs at low strain rate as well as at the temperature below phase transformation point.

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).

Hot deformation experiments of as-cast 35CrMoV steel, with strain rates of 0.01 s−1 and 10 s−1, deformation temperatures of 850, 950, and 1050 °C, and an extreme deformation reaching 50%, were carried out using a Gleeble-3810 thermal simulator. Electrochemical corrosion experiments were conducted on the deformed specimens. The microstructure was observed by optical microscope (OM), and the corrosion morphology and corrosion products of the specimens were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The results show that the grain size increased gradually with an increase in the deformation temperature at the same strain rate, whereas the corrosion resistance deteriorated. At the same deformation temperature, the grain size becomes smaller as the strain rate increases, which enhances the corrosion resistance. This is mainly attributed to the fine grains, which can form more grain boundaries, increase the grain boundary area, and accelerate the formation of the inner rust layer at the beginning of corrosion. Moreover, fine grains can also refine the rust particles and enhance the bonding strength between the inner rust layer and the matrix. The denseness and stability of the inner rust layer increases as the corrosion process progresses, thereby improving corrosion resistance.

Axisymmetric compression tests using Gleeble 3800 simulator were carried out to investigate hot deformation behaviors of an AA5083 alloy under high strain rate conditions. Sharp temperature rise and load cell ringing characterized by severely vibrational load responses were encountered at strain rates higher than 20 s-1 and sample buckling occurred at low temperatures. The load cell ringing was corrected using a moving average method with a two-way filtering operation to correct phase distortion. Isothermal flow curves were obtained by fitting the instantaneous temperatures into a binomial function, while buckling was correlated with sample height and Young’s modulus. After the corrections, hyperbolic sine equation was successfully used to extend from the hot tensile data having strain rates lower than 3 s-1 to 100 s-1. Quantitative analyses were accordingly made over the effects of temperature, strain rate and work hardening behavior on the flow curves. The previous constitutive equation in form of temperature, strain and strain rate was modified to predict the hot deformation resistance of the AA5083 alloy at temperatures of 250-450oC under the high strain rate operations.
