In order to optimize rolling process of AM50 Mg alloy, numerical simulation method is adopted to find reasonable process parameters. And then, the metallograph was viewed to find the microstructure evolution during hot rolling process. Through numerical simulation it is found that while the heating temperature is 420 and the train less than 0.33 each time. Through 10 times rolling, a 10mm thickness plate was rolled to 0.5mm, and its grain size also decreases to 10μm, which indicates that AM50 Mg alloy can be formed by hot rolling method.

And Diffusion

The partitioning and diffusion of solute elements in hot rolling and the effect of the partitioning and diffusion on the ferrite-bainite banding formation after hot rolling in the 20CrMnTi steel were experimentally examined by EPMA (electron probe microanalysis) technology and simulated by DICTRTA and MATLAB software. The austenite grain size related to the hot rolling process and the effect of austenite grain size on the ferrite-bainite banding formation were studied. The results show that experimental steel without banding has the most uniform hardness distribution, which is taken from the edge of the cast slab and 1/4 diameter position of the cast slab, heating at 1100 °C for 2 h and above 1200 °C for 2–4 h during the hot rolling, respectively. Cr, Mn, and Si diffuse and inhomogeneously concentrate in austenite during hot rolling, while C homogeneously concentrates in austenite. After the same hot rolling process, ΔAe3 increases and ferrite-bainite banding intensifies with increasing initial segregation width and segregation coefficient K of solute elements. Under the same initial segregation of solute elements, ΔAe3 drops and ferrite-bainite banding reduces with increasing heating temperature and extension heating time. When ΔAe3 drops below 14 °C, ferrite-bainite banding even disappears. What is more, the austenite grain size increases with increasing heating temperature and extension heating time. When the austenite grain size is above 21 μm, the experimental steel will not appear to have a banded structure after hot rolling.

In this work, a 6-pass hot-rolling process followed by air cooling is studied by means of a coupled multi-scale simulation approach. The finite element method (FEM) is utilized to obtain macroscale thermomechanical parameters including temperature and strain rate. The microstructure evolution during the recrystallization and austenite (γ) to ferrite (α) transformation is simulated by a mesoscale cellular automaton (CA) model. The solute drag effect is included in the CA model to take into account the influence of manganese on the γ/α interface migration. The driving force for α-phase nucleation and growth also involves the contribution of the deformation stored energy inherited from hot-rolling. The simulation renders a clear visualization of the evolving grain structure during a multi-pass hot-rolling process. The variations of the nonuniform, deformation-stored energy field and carbon concentration field are also reproduced. A detailed analysis demonstrates how the parameters, including strain rate, grain size, temperature, and inter-pass time, influence the different mechanisms of recrystallization. Grain refinement induced by recrystallization and the γα phase transformation is also quantified. The simulated final α-fraction and the average α-grain size agree reasonably well with the experimental microstructure.

In this paper, the microstructure evolution during continuous hot rolling process of GCr15 steel rod was investigated. A series of multi-field coupled finite element models were established based on commercial finite element software MSC.Marc. The kinetics equations of austenite grain size evolution of GCr15 steel were coupled to these models by a designed MSC.Marc subprogram. The field variables, including temperature, equivalent stress, equivalent strain, and equivalent strain rate, were calculated. The distributions of dynamic recrystallization, metadynamic recrystallization, and static recrystallization fractions were investigated. The distribution and evolution of austenite grain size at different stages in the continuous hot rolling process were analyzed. To verify the models, the temperatures of GCr15 steel rod at different stages in the continuous hot rolling process were measured. And the austenite grain sizes at cross section of the rod after the continuous hot rolling process were measured. The simulation results show a good agreement with the experimental results.

Rough Rolling

To improve the product properties of H-beams, it is essential to understand the effects of hot rolling parameters on the microstructure evolution of the beams. For this purpose, a thermo mechanical model was built with the finite element Package ABAQUS. By re-meshing the model, multipass large-deformation hot rolling process was simulated under the boundary conditions predefined in accordance with the practical production. Based on the hot rolling simulation, an impact analysis of strain rate, initial rough rolling temperature, and time interval between passes on the microstructure evolution of H-beam austenite was conducted. The analytical results are meaningful for optimizing hot rolling parameters and improving H-beam properties.

The thermal behavior of a rod during the hot shape rolling process was investigated using the off-line hot rolling simulator and numerical simulation. Additionally, it was compared with a plate during the flat rolling process to understand the thermal behavior of the rod during the hot rolling process in more detail. The temperature of the rod and plate during the hot rolling process was measured at several points with thermocouples using the rolling simulator, and then the measured temperature of each region of a workpiece was analyzed with numerical simulation. During hot rolling process, the temperature distribution of the rod was very different from the plate. The temperature deviation of the rod with area was much higher than that of the plate. The variation in effective stress of the rod along the circumferential direction can induce the temperature difference with area of the rod, whereas the plate had a relatively lower temperature deviation with area due to the uniform effective stress on the surface area. The heat generation by plastic deformation during the forming process also increased the temperature deviation of the rod with area, whereas strain distribution of the plate during flat rolling contributed to the uniformity of temperature of the plate with area. The higher temperature deviation of the rod along the circumferential and radial directions during the shape rolling process can increase the possibility of occurrence in surface defects compared to the plate during flat rolling.

To determine the relations between rolling passes, mechanical behaviours and microstructure evolution of AA7050 aluminum alloys, finite element modeling of a multipass hot rolling process is developed and employed to investigate thermo-mechanical evolution during this processing. Through parametric studies, the distribution of local strain and temperature across thickness during the hot rolling process are numerically determined. These results are used to determine the subgrain size and thus the microstructure evolution during the hot rolling process are estimated.

The effects of the hot-rolling process on microstructures and strength were investigated for two kinds of magnesium alloy Mg-Zn-Y and Mg-Zn-Y-Nd. In comparison with the as-cast alloys, the tensile strength of Mg-Zn-Y and Mg-Zn-Y-Nd both increases 45%, whereas their elongation decreases 73%, 60% via hot-rolling process, respectively. The results show that the dynamic recrystallization process and the pining effect of I-phase during hot rolling contribute to the fine-grained structure formation. The hot-rolling process has refined the grain size greatly.
