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.

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.

The hot deformation behaviors of a new Ti-6Al-2Nb-2Zr-0.4B titanium alloy in the strain rate range 0.01–10.0 s−1 and temperature range 850–1060 °C were evaluated using hot compressing testing on a Gleeble-3800 simulator at 60% of deformation degree. The flow stress characteristics of the alloy were analyzed according to the true stress–strain curve. The constitutive equation was established to describe the change of deformation temperature and flow stress with strain rate. The thermal deformation activation energy Q was equal to 551.7 kJ/mol. The constitutive equation was ε ˙=e54.41[sinh (0.01σ)]2.35exp(−551.7/RT). On the basis of the dynamic material model and the instability criterion, the processing maps were established at the strain of 0.5. The experimental results revealed that in the (α + β) region deformation, the power dissipation rate reached 53% in the range of 0.01–0.05 s−1 and temperature range of 920–980 °C, and the deformation mechanism was dynamic recovery. In the β region deformation, the power dissipation rate reached 48% in the range of 0.01–0.1 s−1 and temperature range of 1010–1040 °C, and the deformation mechanism involved dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization.

The hot deformation behaviors of homogenized direct-chill (DC) casting 6061 aluminum alloys and Mn/Cr-containing aluminum alloys denoted as WQ1 were studied systematically by uniaxial compression tests at various deformation temperatures and strain rates. Hot deformation behavior of WQ1 alloy was remarkably changed compared to that of 6061 alloy with the presence of α-Al(MnCr)Si dispersoids. The hyperbolic-sine constitutive equation was employed to determine the materials constants and activation energies of both studied alloys. The evolution of the activation energies of two alloys was investigated on a revised Sellars’ constitutive equation. The processing maps and activation energy maps of both alloys were also constructed to reveal deformation stable domains and optimize deformation parameters, respectively. Under the influence of α dispersoids, WQ1 alloy presented a higher activation energy, around 40 kJ/mol greater than 6061 alloy’s at the same deformation conditions. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) is main dynamic softening mechanism in safe processing domain of 6061 alloy, while dynamic recovery (DRV) was main dynamic softening mechanism in WQ1 alloy due to pinning effect of α-Al(MnCr)Si dispersoids. α dispersoids can not only resist DRX but also increase power required for deformation of WQ1 alloy. The microstructure analysis revealed that the flow instability was attributed to the void formation and intermetallic cracking during hot deformation of both alloys.

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.

AbstractDynamic softening behaviors of a promising biomedical Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy under hot deformation conditions across dual phaseα+βand single phaseβregions were quantitatively characterized by establishing corresponding dynamic recovery (DRV) and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) kinetic models. A series of wide range hot compression tests on a Gleeble-3500 thermo-mechanical physical simulator were implemented under the strain rate range of 0.01-10 s−1and the temperature range of 923-1173 K. The apparent differences of flow stress curves obtained in dual phaseα+βand single phaseβregions were analyzed in term of different dependence of flow stress to temperature and strain rate and different microstructural evolutions. Two typical softening mechanisms about DRV and DRX were identified through the variations of a series of stress-strain curves acquired from these compression tests. DRX is the dominant softening mechanism in dual phaseα+βrange, while DRV is the main softening mechanism in single phaseβrange. The DRV kinetic model for single phaseβregion and the DRX kinetic model for dual phaseα+βregion were established respectively. In addition, the microstructures of the compressed specimens were observed validating the softening mechanisms accordingly.

The purpose of this study is to obtain a constitutive equation of high-accuracy flow stress in superalloy 718, which allows fabrication of highly reliable disks for gas turbine engines. Hot compression tests using superalloy 718 at deformation temperatures from 850 to 1100 °C, a 67% height reduction, and strain rates of 1, 10, and 25 s−1 were performed to investigate the flow stress behavior, which excludes environmental effects during hot working by inverse analysis. The effects of dynamic recrystallization and strain-induced dynamic precipitation on the flow stress were also investigated. The dynamically precipitated δ phases deformed at 1050 °C and γ″ phases deformed at 950 °C might affect the increase in the plastic modulus F1 and the decrease in the critical strain εc, deteriorating the accuracy of regression in terms of, for example, the strain rate sensitivity m and the temperature sensitivity A. A constitutive equation for a generalized flow curve for superalloy 718 is proposed by considering these effects.

Abstract Investigation on the hot deformability and workability of stir cast 6 wt.% steel particles reinforced aluminium 6063 matrix composites was undertaken in this study. Flow stress – strain curves generated from hot compression tests performed at strain rates of 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 s−1, and temperatures between 200–400°C, were used to study the flow behavior of the composite, while processing map developed from analyses of the deformation data, was used to establish the deformation mechanisms and processing safe zones for effective workability. Flow stress oscillations were observed to be prevalent at lower deformation temperatures and strain rates; largely due to the settling of reinforcement particles at grain boundary vicinities, rather than a homogeneous distribution. Also, the flow behaviour was largely strain rate insensitive. The dominant flow mechanism based on the flow stress patterns, processing map and microstructural validation was established to be dynamic recovery. Safe regions for processing based on Murty's and Gegel's criteria established the safe processing zones to be ~270–400°C at 0.01–1.0 s−1 and 380–400°C at 10 s−1. Deformation processing was unsafe at 200–260°C at 0.01–1.0 s−1 and between 200–380°C at 1.0–10 s−1.

The deformation behavior and constitutive equation of Mg-4Al-3Ca-1.5Zn-1Nd-0.2Mn alloy were investigated using hot compression tests at the temperatures range of 200, 250, 300, and 350°C with the constant strain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 And1 s-1. The influence of strain was also incorporated in the constitutive equation by considering the effects of strain on material constants which are consist of A, α, β, n and activation energy Q. The predicted flow stress curves using the proposed constitutive equations well agree with the experimental results of the flow stress for experimental Alloy.

Abstract In this paper the hot working behaviour of medium carbon duplex cast steel is studied using uniaxial hot compression tests over a temperature range varying from 700 ˚C to 1 000 °C and at different strain rates ranging from 10–4 to 10–1 s–1. A model based on a variant of a dynamic materials model was employed to construct processing maps. These maps delineate the safe and unsafe domains. The safe domains, associated with dynamic recrystallization and dynamic recovery, can be chosen to optimize the hot workability of the studied material. Whereas, the unsafe domain is to be avoided because it is associated with plastic deformation instabilities. The domain associated with dynamic recrystallization is centred at 1000 °C and 10–4 s–1 with a peak energy dissipation efficiency of about 40%, while the domain associated with dynamic recovery is centred at 700 °C and 10–4 s–1 with a peak energy dissipation efficiency of about 27%. The unsafe hot working domain, spread over the entire temperature range and moderate to high strain rates, predicts the appearance of flow instabilities, in the form of shear bands and intergranular cracks. To validate the obtained results, microstructural observations corresponding to different processing conditions are presented.
