The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of as-extruded AM50 magnesium alloy was modelled and simulated by a cellular automaton (CA) method. Isothermal compression experiments were conducted, and the characteristic parameters in the CA model were obtained by the testing stress–strain flow curves in a wide temperature range of 250–450 °C and strain rate range of 0.001–10 s−1. The flow stress, DRX volume fraction and DRX grain size of the as-extruded AM50 magnesium alloy were predicted by CA simulation. The results showed that the DRX behavior of the studied magnesium alloy was susceptive with the temperature and strain rate; meanwhile, the prediction results were approximate to the experimental values, indicating that the developed CA model can make a confident estimation on the DRX behavior of the as-extruded AM50 magnesium alloy in high temperature conditions.

AbstractIn order to study dynamic recrystallization behavior of the as-extruded 3Cr20Ni10W2 under isothermal compression conditions, a cellular automaton (CA) model was applied to simulate hot compression. Analysis on the strain–stress curves indicates that dynamic recrystallization is the main softening mechanism for the 3Cr20Ni10W2 when the deformation occurred in the temperature range of 1203–1303 K with an interval of 50 K and strain rate range of 0.01–10 s−1. The deformation temperature and strain rate have a significant influence on the dynamically recrystallized grain size. Subsequently, a CA model is established to simulate the dynamic recrystallization behaviors of the studied alloy. The simulated results show that the mean grain size increases with the increased deformation temperature and decreases with the increased strain rate, which is consistent with the experimental result. In addition, the average absolute relative error, which is 13.14%, indicates that the process of the dynamic recrystallization and the dynamically recrystallized grain size can be well predicted by the present CA model.

AbstractDynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of a vanadium microalloyed steel pipe was systematically investigated at temperatures range of 850–1,200 °C and a strain rate of 5 s−1 on a Gleeble-3800 thermo-simulation machine. Constitutive equation was obtained by characteristic points of DRX which derived from the strain hardening rate and stress curves. DRX kinetics model was established for determining the recrystallization volume fraction (X). Effect of dynamic precipitation of V(C, N) imposed on DRX at temperatures from 850–1,000 °C was analyzed. Results show that true stress-strain curves exhibited no clearly defined stress peaks with typical dynamic recovery behavior. X increased from 43.9 % to 100 % with increasing deformation temperature, which was in reasonable agreement with the observation of microstructure. Moreover, the calculation pinning force of V(C, N) precipitates was weaker than the recrystallization driving force, revealing that V(C, N) precipitates could effectively retard rather than prevent the progress of DRX.

Dynamic recrystallization behavior of Mg-8.0Gd-3.0Y-0.5Zr (wt.%) alloy and the critical conditions corresponding to the onset of dynamic recrystallization were investigated using uniaxial compression tests conducted at temperatures ranging from 350 °C to 500 °C and strain rates ranging from 0.001 s-1 to 1 s-1. Results show that increasing temperature and/or decreasing strain rate can enhance the process of dynamic recrystallization of Mg-8.0Gd-3.0Y-0.5Zr alloy and lower the peak stress and corresponding strain. However, decreasing temperature and/or increasing strain rate can promote the occurrence of twin dynamic recrystallization (TDRX) within the original grains at the cost of reducing the total volume fraction of dynamically recrystallized grains in the microstructure. Besides, the critical stress and strain corresponding to the onset of dynamic recrystallization of Mg-8.0Gd-3.0Y-0.5Zr at 400 °C and 0.1 s-1 are 173MPa and 0.13, respectively.

The high temperature compressive tests of squeeze casting ZK60 magnesium alloy in the testing temperature range of 523-723K and strain rate range of 0.001-10s-1 were performed on Gleeble-1500D thermal simulator testing machine. Optical microscopy was performed to elaborate on the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) grain growth. TEM observation indicated that the mechanical twinning, dislocation slip, and dynamic recrystallization are the materials typical deformation features. Variations of flow behavior with deformation temperature as well as strain rate were analyzed. Analysis of the flowing deformation behavior and microstructure observations indicated that the flow localization was observed at lower testing temperature and higher strain rates. Dynamic recrystallization occurred at higher testing temperature and moderate strain rates, which improved the ductility of the material. The results indicated that at the testing temperatures lower than 573K and strain rates higher than 1s-1, the material exhibited flow instability manifesting as bands of flow localizations. These temperatures and strain rates should be avoided in processing the material. Dynamic recrystallization occurs in the temperature range 573-723K and the strain rate range 0.001-0.1s-1. The number of dynamic recrystallization grains is less at lower temperature and higher strain rate than higher temperature and lower strain rate. The dynamic recrystallization is inadequate at 573-623K while the dynamic recrystallization grain growth has been observed in the temperature range of 673-723K. Therefore it may be considered that the optimum processing parameters for hot working of squeeze casting ZK60 magnesium alloy are 648K and 0.001-0.01s-1, at which fine dynamic recrystallization microstructure can be obtained.

The cellular automata (CA) model combining topological deformation and adaptive activation energy was successfully constructed to analyze the thermal dynamic recrystallization of the magnesium alloy (AZ61). The simulation datum shown that the recrystallization nucleation located on the grain boundary (GB) once the density of dislocation accumulated to specific value, and the result presents a typical characteristics i.e., repeated nucleation and growth. The simulation results agree well with the experimental results because the activation energy affects recrystallization by affecting nucleation rate.

Based on the theoretical model and physical mechanism of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in metal materials, the dislocation density change, nucleation and grain growth model during the process of DRX are taken into account. And according to the nucleation driven by dislocation and grain growth kinetic, transformation rules are made. A modeling methodology coupling fundamental metallurgical principles based on amended nucleation rate with the cellular automaton (CA) technique is here derived to simulate the 316LN.The two-dimensional CA model uses quadrilateral element and periodic boundary condition and Von-Neumann neighbor type. The influence of strain, strain rate and deformation temperature on dynamic recrystallization volume fraction and average grain size are analyzed on the basis of established CA model.
