Numerical Simulation for Dynamic Recrystallization of Ti40 Alloy in Hot Compression by Finite Element Method
Hot compression tests of Ti40 alloy was carried out on a GLEEBLE 3500 thermo- mechanical simulator at the deformation temperatures of 950~1100°C, the strain rates of 0.01~0.1s-1 and the height reductions from 20% to 60%. The true stress/true strain curves were obtained through the tests. Through physical experiment and FEM-based microstructure modelings, the dynamic recrystallizaiton (DRX) behavior of the alloy is extensively explored. The results show that increasing true strain, raising deformation temperature and reducing strain rate are contribute to the DRX of the Ti40 alloy. The simulation results agree well with the experiment results, which prove the accuracy of the microstructure evolution models for predicting the DRX process during hot compression.
