A Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK)-model was established for dynamic recrystallization in hot deformation process of 52100 steel. The effects of hot deformation temperature, true strain and strain rate on the microstructural evolution of the steel were physically studied by using Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator and the experimental results were used for validation of the JMAK-model. Through simulation and experiment, it is found that the predicted results of DRX volume fraction, DRX grain size and average grain size are in good agreement with the experimental ones.

Hot-core heavy reduction rolling (HHR2) is an innovative technology, where a two-high rolling mill is installed after the solidification end of a strand, which can significantly eliminate the core defects of the slab. The mill exhibits a heavy reduction ratio, which promotes the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of the slab. This study aims to optimize the parameters of the HHR2 process considering the effect of DRX on microstructure homogeneity. The secondary development of commercial software DEFORM-3D is conducted to calculate the deformation and DRX behavior of HHR2 for different reduction ratios. The parameters of DRX volume fraction and DRX grain size are compared, and finer DRX grains are obtained when the greater reduction ratios are conducted in HHR2. Then, corresponding to the deformation conditions in the HHR2, the thermal–mechanical simulations are conducted on the Gleeble3800 to obtain the average grain sizes before and after this process. When the reduction amount increases from 20 mm to 50 mm, the difference of average grain size between the core and the surface reduces by 52%. In other words, appropriately enhancing the reduction ratio is helpful to reduce the average austenite grain and promote the microstructure uniformity of the slab. These results provide some valuable information on the design of deformation parameters for HHR2.

AbstractThe high-temperature plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization behavior of BT25y alloy were investigated within the deformation temperatures of 1,213–1,293 K and strain rates of 0.001–1.0 s–1 on a Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator. Results showed that the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism played an important role in the hot deformation of BT25y alloy. Based on the regression analysis of the true stress–strain data, the stress exponent and deformation activation energy of BT25y alloy were calculated to be 3.4912 and 288.0435 kJ/mol, respectively. The θ-σ and dθ/dσ–σ curves were plotted to further obtain the critical stress and critical strain for the occurrence of DRX. Based on the analysis results, the DRX kinetic model was established. The model was validated by the comparison between predicted and experimental volume fraction of DRX. As the DRX evolution was sensitive to deformation temperature and strain rate, quantities of dynamically recrystallized grains appeared at higher temperatures and lower strain rates.

The effects of repetitive upsetting extrusion under different starting temperatures on the microstructure and texture of GWZK124 alloy were investigated. The results clearly showed that the particles and second phases induced dynamic recrystallization (DRX), which can be explained by the particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN) mechanism. It was shown that grain refinement during repetitive upsetting extrusion (RUE) is dominated by a complicated combination of continuous dynamic recrystallization and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization. The RUEed alloys under different starting temperatures exhibited a bimodal microstructure comprising fine DRXed grains with weak texture and coarse deformed grains with strong texture. The DRXed grains could weaken the texture. As the RUE starting temperature decreased, the average grain size increased and the volume fraction of DRXed grains decreased.

The effect of strain rate and strain on the hot compression behaviour of Ti6Al4V has been analysed to understand the microstructural evolution and restoration behaviour. Cylindrical samples with partially equiaxed grains were deformed in the α+β region at different thermo-mechanical conditions. EBSD has been used to study the microstructural behaviour and the restoration mechanisms. The microstructural evolution showed a complex restoration behaviour, where both fragmentation and nucleation of new grains have been observed. The volume fraction of the equiaxed grains increased with an increase in the strain, but oppositely decreased with the strain rate. At the same time the average grain size of the equiaxed grains decreased with an increase in both the strain and strain rate. The measured activation energy for deformation revealed a good agreement with reported values in the literature.

A mean field model for discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) has been developed and chained with a post-dynamic recrystallization (PDRX) model to predict transient and steady-state flow stresses and average grain sizes. Numerical results are compared with experimental data obtained on a 304L stainless steel yielding to a good agreement in terms of average grain size. However an unrealistic grain-size distribution is observed using DDRX, which affects results of the PDRX model. This result is discussed with respect to the fundamental equations of DDRX.

The empirical model of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) coupled with DEFORM 3D® software (based on the finite element method (FEM)) was used to predict the microstructural evolution of the AA7075 processed by four passes of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 250° C. The DRX model parameters were taken from the literature. The simulation results showed that the DRX exhibited a heterogeneous distribution from the back to the frontal part of the sample and this heterogeneity markedly diminished in the fourth pass. The recrystallized volume fraction reached 50% in most of the sample in the fourth pass and the average grain size did not show significant changes, going from an initial value of 16.4 μm to 12.5 μm. This latter result was attributed to the fact that DRX occurred partially even for the last pass. Experimental testing of ECAP was conducted by using the same conditions of computational simulation. The validation of model was performed by comparison of average grain size values with those obtained experimentally by means of image analysis applied on micrographs that were acquired by means of optical microscopy (OM). Hardness and peak load values also indicated the occurrence of a partial dynamic recrystallization and recovery.

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior in the isothermal hot compression of AISI 52100 steel was analyzed by using the phenomenological-based cellular automaton (CA) algorithm. The developed CA model was coded into DEFORM platform, which is a Finite Element Method (FEM)-based software for simulation of material deformation process. The developed CA-model can thus predict the nucleation and growth kinetics of dynamically recrystallized grains of the testing material in hot working process. Furthermore, the effects of the deformation temperature, true strain and strain rate on the microstructural evolution of the testing material were physically studied by using Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator and the developed CA-model was verified by the experimental results. Through simulation and experiment, it is found that the results predicted by the CA-model have a good agreement with the experimental ones.

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of 5CrNiMoV steel was investigated through hot compression at temperatures of 830–1230°C and strain rates of 0.001–10 s−1. From the experimental results, most true stress-strain curves showed the typical nature of DRX that a single peak was reached at low strains followed by a decrease of stress and a steady state finally at relatively high strains. The constitutive behavior of 5CrNiMoV steel was analyzed to deduce the operative deformation mechanisms, and the correlation between flow stress, temperature, and strain rate was expressed as a sine hyperbolic type constitutive equation. Based on the study of characteristic stresses and strains on the true stress-strain curves, a DRX kinetics model was constructed to characterize the influence of true strain, temperature, and strain rate on DRX evolution, which revealed that higher temperatures and lower strain rates had a favorable influence on improving the DRX volume fraction at the same true strain. Microstructure observations indicated that DRX was the main mechanism and austenite grains could be greatly refined by reducing the temperature of hot deformation or increasing the strain rate when complete recrystallization occurred. Furthermore, a DRX grain size model of 5CrNiMoV was obtained to predict the average DRX grain size during hot forming.
