Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr Mg alloys show excellent performance in high-end manufacturing due to its strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. However, the hot deformation and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behaviors of Mg-13.5Gd-3.2Y-2.3Zn-0.5Zr were not studied. For this article, hot compression behavior of homogenized high rare-earth (RE) content Mg-13.5Gd-3.2Y-2.3Zn-0.5Zr (wt%) alloy was investigated by using the Gleeble-3500D thermo-simulation test machine under the temperature of 350–500 °C and the strain rate of 0.001–1 s−1. It was found that the high flow stress corresponded to the low temperature and high strain rate, which showed DRX steady state curve during the hot compression. The hot deformation average activation was 263.17 kJ/mol, which was obtained by the analysis of the hyperbolic constitutive equation and the Zener-Hollomon parameter. From observation of the microstructure, it was found that kink deformation of long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase was one of the important coordination mechanisms of hot deformation at low temperature. The processing map with the strain of 0.5 was established under the basis of dynamic material model (DMM); it described two high power dissipation domains: one appearing in the temperature range of 370–440 °C and the strain rate range of 0.001–0.006 s−1, the other appearing in the temperature range of 465–500 °C and strain rate range of 0.001–0.05 s−1, in which dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mainly ocurred. The highest degree of DRX was 18% from the observation of the metallographic.

In order to quantitatively analyze the critical strain for the initiation of dynamic recrystallization in Ni-Fe-based Alloy 718, a series of uniaxial compression tests was conducted in the temperature range 927°C - 1066°C and the strain rate range 5 x 10-4s-1- 5 s-1with varying initial grain size. The critical strains were graphically determined based on one parameter approach and microscopically confirmed. The effect of γ'' (matrix-hardening phase) and δ (grain boundary phase)on the critical strain was simply discussed. The constitutive model for the critical strain of Alloy 718 was constructed using the experimental data obtained from the higher strain rate and the temperature range between 940°C and 1040°C.

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.

AbstractIsothermal compression tests were conducted on A100 steel using a Gleeble 1500 thermal simulator at a temperature range of 900–1,200°C and strain rate range of 0.001–3 s−1. Results show that the A100 steel has higher strength than the Aermet 100 steel at high temperatures. Constant values, such as A, α, and n, and activate energy Q were obtained through the regression processing of the stress–strain data curves under different strains. A set of constitutive equations for A100 steel was proposed by using an Arrhenius-type equation. The optimum processing craft ranges for A100 steel based on the analysis of the hot working diagram and deformation mechanism are as follows: temperature range of 1,000–1,100°C and strain rate range of 0.01–0.1 s−1. The average grain size within this working range is 7–22.5 μm.

To study the superplasticity of AZ31B magnesium alloy, hot compression tests were performed in forming temperature range from 280°C to 440°C and strain rate range from 0.001s-1 to 0.1s-1. The influence of deformation strain rate and forming temperature on flow stress was also analyzed detailed. It was shown that the flow stress of AZ31B was very sensitive to formpng temperature and stain rate, and was decreased with deformation temperature increasing, and was increased with stain rate increasing. However, no significant change of flow stress was observed at the temperature of 440°C and the strain rate below 0.01s-1. The activation energy of AZ31B in superplastic deformation was 141.6KJ•mol-1 and its constitutive equation was established also.

Hot compression tests of the commercial Inconel 625 were performed in the temperature range of 950 - 1200 °C and strain rate range of 0.01 - 10 s-1. The constitutive relationship and the critical condition for dynamic recrystallization of Inconel 625 were established. The influence of strain on the flow stress was investigated by considering the effect of the strain on material constants. It was found that a five-order polynomial was suitable to represent the influence of the strain. The stress-strain curves obtained by the proposed constitutive equation showed a good agreement with experimental results. It can be used for the analysis problem of hot forming processes.The critical condition for dynamic recrystallization was obtained by using strain hardening rate. The critical strain increased with temperature decreasing and strain rate increasing. The critical condition for dynamic recrystallization can be expressed as .

Hot compression tests of AZ61 magnesium alloy were performed on gleeble1500D at strain rate ranged in 0.01~1s-1 and deformation temperature 350~400°C.The results show that the flow stress and microstructures strongly depend on the deformation temperature and the strain rate. When the temperature was reduced and the strain rate was enhanced, the area after dynamic recrystallization was enhanced, and the average dynamically recrystallied grain size reduce. But the dynamically recrystallied grain size was not well-proportioned. In this paper the 350°C×1s-1 was suggested.

The dynamic microstructure evolution of Mg-3Sn-2Al-1Zn-5Li magnesium alloy during hot deformation is studied by hot compression tests over the temperature range of 200–350 °C under the strain rate of 0.001–1 s−1, whereafter constitutive equations and processing maps are developed and constructed. In most of cases, the material shows typical dynamic recrystallization (DRX) features, with a signal peak value followed by a gradual decrease. The value of Q (deformation activation energy) is 138.89414 kJ/mol, and the instability domains occur at high strain rate but the stability domains are opposite, and the optimum hot working parameter for the studied alloy is determined to be 350 °C/0.001 s−1 according to the processing maps. Within 200–350 °C, the operating mechanism of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of Mg-3Sn-2Al-1Zn-5Li alloy during hot deformation is mainly affected by strain rate. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) structures are observed from the samples at 300 °C/0.001 s−1 and 350 °C/0.001 s−1, which consist of continuous DRX (CDRX) and discontinuous DRX (DDRX). However, dynamic recovery (DRV) still dominates the softening mechanism. At the grain boundaries, mass dislocation pile-ups and dislocation tangle provide sites for potential nucleation. Meanwhile, flow localization bands are observed from the samples at 200 °C/1 s−1 and 250 °C/0.1 s−1 as the main instability mechanism.

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.
