High-temperature plastic flow is the underlying process that governs the product quality in many advanced metal manufacturing technologies, such as extrusion, rolling, and welding. Data and models on the high-temperature flow behavior are generally desired in the design of these manufacturing processes. In this paper, quantitative constitutive analysis is carried out on 3Cr-1Si-1Ni ultra-high strength steel, which sheds light on the mathematic relation between the flow stress and the thermal-mechanical state variables, such as temperature, plastic strain, and strain rate. Particularly, the hyperbolic-sine equation in combination with the Zener-Hollomon parameter is shown to be successful in representing the effect of temperature and strain rate on the flow stress of the 3Cr-1Si-1Ni steel. It is found that the flow stress of the 3Cr-1Si-1Ni steel is significantly influenced by strain. The strain-dependence on flow stress is not identical at different temperatures and strain rates. In the constitutive model, the influence of strain in the constitutive analysis is successfully implemented by introducing strain-dependent constants for the constitutive equations. Fifth-order polynomial equations are employed to fit the strain-dependence of the constitutive constant. The proposed constitutive equations which considers the compensation of strain is found to accurately predict flow stress of the 3Cr-1Si-1Ni steel at the temperatures ranging from 800 °C to 1250 °C, strain rate ranging from 0.01/s to 10/s, and strain ranging from 0.05 to 0.6.

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.

To investigate the hot deformation behaviors of AISI 4120 steel, isothermal compression tests were conducted using Gleeble-1500 thermal-mechanical simulator in the temperature range of 1073-1373K with the strain rate of 0.01-10s-1. The hyperbolic sine law in Arrhenius type is used in the constitutive modeling for AISI 4120. The influence of strain is incorporated in constitutive analysis by considering the effect of strain on material constants α, n, Q and ln A. The flow stress values predicted by the developed constitutive equations show a good agreement with experimental results, which reveals that the developed constitutive equations could give an accurate and precise prediction for the high temperature flow behaviors of AISI 4120 steel. The predictability of developed constitutive equation was further quantified in terms of correlation coefficient (R) and average absolute relative error (AARE). The R and AARE were found to be 0.9847 and 8.0372% respectively, which reflects the good prediction capabilities of the developed constitutive equation.

AbstractConstitutive analysis for hot working of BFe10-1-2 alloy was carried out by using experimental stress–strain data from isothermal hot compression tests, in a wide range of temperature of 1,023~1,273 K, and strain rate range of 0.001~10 s–1. A constitutive equation based on modified double multiple nonlinear regression was proposed considering the independent effects of strain, strain rate, temperature and their interrelation. The predicted flow stress data calculated from the developed equation was compared with the experimental data. Correlation coefficient (R), average absolute relative error (AARE) and relative errors were introduced to verify the validity of the developed constitutive equation. Subsequently, a comparative study was made on the capability of strain-compensated Arrhenius-type constitutive model. The results showed that the developed constitutive equation based on modified double multiple nonlinear regression could predict flow stress of BFe10-1-2 alloy with good correlation and generalization.

For the implementation of simulations for large plastic deformation processes such as cutting and impact, the development of the constitutive models for describing accurately the dynamic plasticity and damage behaviors of materials plays a crucial role in the improvement of simulation accuracy. This paper focuses on the dynamic behaviors of 45CrNiMoVA ultra-high-strength torsion bar steel. According to investigation of the Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) and Split-Hopkinson tensile bar (SHTB) tests at different strain rate and different temperatures, 45CrNiMoVA ultra-high-strength steel is characterized by strain hardening, strain-rate hardening and thermal softening effects. Based on the analysis on the mechanism of the experimental results and the limitation of classic Johnson-Cook (J-C) constitutive model, a modified J-C model by considering the phase transition at high temperature is established. The multi-objective optimization fitting method was used for fitting model parameters. Compared with the classic J-C constitutive model, the fitting accuracy of the modified J-C model significantly improved. In addition, finite element simulations for SHPB and SHTB based on the modified J-C model are conducted. The SHPB stress-strain curves and the fracture morphology of SHTB samples from simulations are in good agreement with those from tests.

Hot deformation characteristics of Hastelloy X Ni-base superalloy were investigated at elevated temperatures. Hot compressive tests were carried out in the temperature and strain rate ranges from 900 to 1150 °C and 0.001 to 1 s–1, respectively. The constitutive equation relating flow stress, temperature, and strain rate was obtained based on the peak stresses. The flow behavior showed that the softening mechanisms were related to the dynamic recovery (DRV) and dynamic recrystallization (DRX). The flow stress of Hastelloy X was fitted well by the constitutive equation of the hyperbolic sine function. The constitutive analysis suggested that the hot deformation mechanism of the Hastelloy X was dislocation creep.
