The flow behavior and associated microstructural changes of wrought 6069 Al alloy deformed in tension were analyzed in this work. Tensile tests were conducted on an extruded tube with a thickness of 1.6 mm in the temperature range of 300–500 oC, with initial strain rates from 0.001 to 0.1 s-1. The true stress–true strain curves exhibited a peak stress at a critical strain. The overall level of the flow curve increased when the strain rate was increased and/or the temperature was decreased. The flow curves exhibited a typical flow behavior with dynamic softening and showed that the softening degree after reaching the peak stress was dependent on the deformation conditions. This could be related to the softening mechanism. The main softening mechanism of the alloy was dynamic recovery (DRV) at low temperatures; dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurred as deformed at high temperatures.

We have conducted a detailed series of tensile tests on one heat of annealed 2 1/4 Cr-1 Mo steel over the range 25 to 593°C (75 to 1100°F) and at nominal strain rates of 0.4, 0.04, 0.004, and 0.0004/min. To determine an empirical relationship to represent the flow behavior, we fitted the true-stress true-strain data from these tests to several proposed models. The models fit were those proposed by Hollomon, Ludwik, Ludwigson, and Voce. From a comparison of the standard error of estimate, the Voce equation was concluded to be the best mathematical description of the data under most test conditions and the best single representation over the wide range of test conditions.

The characteristics of deformation of an orthorhombic phase based alloy, Ti-22Al-25Nb (at%), have been studied by hot compression tests in the temperature range of 940-1150°C with the strain rates of 0.01s-1 and 0.1s-1. A flow curves typically controlled by dynamic recovery were observed in the temperature range of 1090-1150 °C for the strain rate of 0.01s-1 , while discontinuous yield phenomena was found for the strain rate of 0.1s-1. The dynamic recovery can be identified by the microstructure characteristics of the deformation specimens. At 1060°C, the temperature of beta transus, the flow curves and microstructure exhibited the same deformation charateristics as that above the beta transus. At the subtransus temperature, a long period of flow softening followed by the steady-state flow can be observed. During the hot deformation, the hard phases α2 and O elongated, subboundary produced followed by cusp formation in the elongated α2 and O phases, the equiaxed morphology phases occurred by B2 phase penetrating along the subboundaries. The softening mechanism was discussed.

In this paper, the high temperature flow behaviors of 6061 Al alloy was studied by thermal compression experiments. The effects of temperature, strain rate and strain on the microstructure evolution and flow behavior of the alloy were investigated by experiments. The results show that the flow stress of the alloy increases with the increase of strain rate and it decreases with the increase of deformation temperature. The flow curve reaches the dynamic equilibrium under the interaction of work hardening and dynamic softening mechanism. The uprising deformation temperature promotes thermal excitation dynamic recrystallization of deformed microstructure. With the increase of strain, the microstructure of the alloy is transformed from equiaxed crystal morphology to fibrous structure and strain-induced dynamic recrystallization occurs. As strain rate increases, the action time of dynamic softening mechanism for the studied alloy is reduced, resulting in the fraction of dynamic recrystallized structure is reduced and the flow stress increases.

The flow stress change of 3Cr1Mo0.25V steel was researched in this paper through hot compression tests performed in a temperature range from 800 to 900oC and with a strain rate variation from 0.01 to 10s-1. Flow stress constitutive equation was constructed according to true stress-strain curves of 3Cr1Mo0.25V steel. Results indicate that the dynamic recovery is the dynamic softening mechanism of 3Cr1Mo0.25V steel. The flow stress increases with increasing strain rates and decreases with increasing temperature. The rheological behavior of 3Cr1Mo0.25V steel can be characterized by the parameter of Zener-Hollomon in a high temperature range. As for 3Cr1Mo0.25V steel, the activation energy of Q evaluated by the linear regression is about 142.9 kJ/mol.

In this study, isothermal compression tests of TB18 titanium alloy were conducted using a Gleeble 3800 thermomechanical simulator for temperatures ranging from 650 to 880 °C and strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 10 s−1, with a constant height reduction of 60%, to investigate the dynamic softening mechanisms and hot workability of TB18 alloy. The results showed that the flow stress significantly decreased with an increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate, which was affected by the competition between work hardening and dynamic softening. The hyperbolic sine Arrhenius-type constitutive equation was established, and the deformation activation energy was calculated to be 303.91 kJ·mol−1 in the (α + β) phase zone and 212.813 kJ·mol−1 in the β phase zone. The processing map constructed at a true strain of 0.9 exhibited stability and instability regions under the tested deformation conditions. The microstructure characteristics demonstrated that in the stability region, the dominant restoration and flow-softening mechanisms were the dynamic recovery of β phase and dynamic globularization of α grains below transus temperature, as well as the dynamic recovery and continuous dynamic recrystallization of β grains above transus temperature. In the instability region, the dynamic softening mechanism was flow localization in the form of a shear band and a deformation band caused by adiabatic heating.

The hot compressive deformation behaviors of ZHMn34-2-2-1 manganese brass are investigated on Thermecmastor-Z thermal simulator over wide processing domain of temperatures (923K-1073K) and strain rates (0.01s-1-10s-1). The true stress-strain curves exhibit a single peak stress, after which the stress monotonously decreases until a steady state stress occurs, indicating a typical dynamic recrystallization. A revised constitutive model coupling flow stress with strain, strain rate and deformation temperature is established with the material constants expressed by polynomial fitting of strain. Moreover, better prediction ability of the constitutive model is achieved by implementation of a simple approach for modified the Zener-Hollomon parameter considering the compensation of strain rate and temperature increment. By comparing the predicted and experimented values, the correlation coefficient and mean absolute relative error are 0.997 and 2.363%, respectively. The quantitative statistical results indicate that the proposed constitutive model can precisely characterize the hot deformation behavior of ZHMn34-2-2-1 manganese brass.

Isothermal compression tests were conducted to investigate the effect of hot deformation parameters on flow behavior and microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V-0.2O alloy. The experimental results show that the strain rate and height reduction have little effect on the volume fraction of primary α at a deformation temperature of 860 ̊C. At a deformation temperature of 940 ̊C, the volume fraction of primary α at a high strain rate (10s-1) is about 10% less than that at low strain rates (0.01s-1~1s-1). It may be one of the reasons for the significantly discontinuous yielding phenomenon. Another reason is that the dislocation density decreased suddenly due to the dynamic recovery. With the increasing strain rate and the decreasing deformation temperature, the volume fraction of irregular secondary α increases and lamellar secondary α decreases. And with height reduction increasing, the irregular secondary α increases firstly and then tends to be steady because of dynamic recovery and recrystallization.

The dynamic recrystallization behavior of 18 Ni maraging steels was investigated by hot compression tests at temperatures ranging from 900 °C to 1100 °C and strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 1 s-1. Based on the flow curves from the tests, the effects of temperatures and strain rates on the dynamic recrystallization behavior were analyzed. The strain-hardening rates versus stress curves were used to determine to the critical strain, the peak stress (strain), the saturated stress and the steady stress. With the assistance of the process parameters, constitutive equations were obtained and the activation energy was determined to be 413544.96 J/mol. The dependence of the characteristic values on Zener-Hollomon was found. The dynamic recrystallization kinetics model of the tested steels was constructed and the validity was confirmed based on the experimental results.

Hot deformation behavior of Fe-30Mn-0.11C steel was investigated. Hot compression tests were carried out at various temperatures ranging from 800 °C to 1200 °C and at different strain rates of 0.01 s−1 to 10 s−1. The constitutive equation based on peak stress was established. Hot processing maps at different strains and recrystallization diagrams were also established and analyzed. The results show that dynamic recrystallization easily occur at high deformation temperatures and low strain rates. Safe and unstable zones are determined at the true strain of 0.6 and 0.7, and the hot deformation process parameters of partial dynamic recrystallization of the tested steel are also obtained.

Magnesium alloys’ mechanical behavior has received increasing attention because of its high strength to weight ratio making them ideal for various industrial applications, such as vehicle components, transportation and aerospace. The objective of this work is to closely investigate the thermo-mechanical properties of magnesium alloy AZ31 at different strain rates and temperatures. Tensile tests are conducted on a 30 mm gauge length MgAZ31 specimens at two quasi-static strain rates (1.11x10−3 s−1 and 0.28 s−1) at a range of temperatures between 25 ºC and 250 ºC. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system was used to calculate the true strain and provide quantitative assessment of the localized deformation response at high levels of deformation. The stress-strain responses of MgAZ31 show that the yield stress as well as the ultimate stress decreases as temperature increases and strain rate decreases. Moreover, the difference between the yield and ultimate stresses at both strain rates increases rapidly as temperature increases. The material shows a significant increase in ductility as temperature increases while the modulus of elasticity remains independent of change in strain rates.
