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.

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.

The hot deformation behavior of super 13Cr martensitic stainless steel was investigated using artificial neural network (ANN). Hot compression tests were carried out at the temperature range of 950°C to 1200°C and strain rate range of 0.1–50s–1at an interval of an order of magnitude. Based on the limited experimental data, the ANN model for the constitutive relationship existed between flow stress and strain, strain rate and deformation temperature was developed by back-propagation (BP) neural network method. A three layer structured network with one hidden layer and ten hidden neurons was trained and the normalization method was employed in training for avoiding over fitting. Modeling results show that the developed ANN model can efficiently predict the flow stress of the steel and reflect the hot deformation behavior in the whole deforming process.

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.

The purpose of this study is to find the hot deformation behavior of as-cast 42CrMo steel. The thermal simulation experiments of as-cast 42CrMo steel were done on the Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulation machine. The hot deformation behavior of as-cast 42CrMo steel was analyzed. The true stress-strain curves in hot deformation at different deformation temperature (850°C,950°C,1050°C,1150°C), different strain rate (0.05S-1, 0.5 S-1, 1 S-1,5 S-1) were obtained. The influence rules of the deformation temperature and strain rate on the curves were analyzed. The analysis shows that the true stress increases with increase of deformation temperature and decrease of stain rate. The hot deformation behavior of as-cast 42CrMo steel was compared with forged 42CrMo steel. The results show that the flow stress of as-cast 42CrMo steel during hot deformation was higher than that of the forged 42CrMo steel. Compared to the forged 42CrMo steel, the dynamic recrystallization in as-cast 42CrMo steel during hot deformation is more difficult to occur. The above conclusions have significant theoretical and practical meanings for the design of hot deformation process of as-cast 42CrMo steel.

The effects of processing parameters on deformation behavior of a new near β titanium alloy were investigated by using compression tests. The experiments were carried out in the Gleeble-3800 thermal and mechanical simulator in the temperature range of 770-970°C and strain rate range of 10-3-10s-1, and height direction reduction of 70%. The results show that the flow stress of Ti-7333 titanium alloy increases obviously with the strain and reaches a peak, then decreases to a steady value. The steady and peak stress significantly decreases with the increase of deformation temperature and decrease of strain rate. The flow stress model of Ti-7333 titanium alloy during high temperature deformation was established by using the regression method. The average relative difference between the calculated and experimental flow stress is 6.33%. The flow stress model can efficiently predict the deformation behavior of Ti-7333 titanium alloy during high temperature deformation.

The deformation behavior in isothermal compression of Ti-5Al-4Mo-2Cr-4Zr-2Sn-1Fe alloy was investigated at the deformation temperature of 800°C, 850°C, 900°C, 950°C and 1000°C, the strain rate of 0.01s-1, 0.1s-1, 1.0s-1and 10.0s-1, and the height reduction of 70%. The flow stress increases rapidly with the increasing of strain at the beginning of deformation. When the strain exceeds a certain value, the flow stress begins to decline and becomes steady. With the increasing of deformation temperature and decreasing of strain rate, the steady stress and peak stress decrease significantly. The effect of strain on the processing maps of Ti-5Al-4Mo-2Cr-4Zr-2Sn-1Fe alloy is obvious. As the strain increases, the instable region moves towards high temperature and high strain rate area. Meanwhile, the contour of efficiency of power dissipation becomes more and more intensive, and the region with high efficiency of power dissipation reduces. Strain rate of 0.01s-1and deformation temperature of 900°C are the optimum processing parameters for Ti-5Al-4Mo-2Cr-4Zr-2Sn-1Fe alloy forging under strain of 0.3.

This work was focused on the compressive deformation behavior of 42CrMo steel at temperatures from 1123K to 1348K and strain rates from 0.01s-1 to 10s-1 on a Gleeble-1500 thermo-simulation machine. The true stress-strain curves tested exhibit peak stresses at small strains, after them the flow stresses decrease monotonically until high strains, showing a dynamic flow softening. And the stress level decreases with increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate. The values of strain hardening exponent n, and the strain rate sensitivity exponent m were calculated the method of multiple linear regression, the results show that the two material parameters are not constants, but changes with temperature and strain rate. Then the two variable material parameters were introduced into Fields-Backofen equation amended. Thus the constitutive mechanical discription of 42CrMo steel which can accurately describe the relationships among flow stress, temperature, strain rate, strain offers the basic model for plastic forming process simulation.

In order to analyze high temperature deformation behavior of NiAl alloys, deformation maps were constructed for stoichiometric NiAl materials with grain sizes of 4 and 200 µm. Relevant constitute equations and calculation method will be described in this paper. These maps are particularly useful in identifying the location of testing domains, such as creep and tensile tests, in relation to the stress-temperature-strain rate domains experienced by NiAl.
