The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior in the isothermal hot compression of AISI 52100 steel was analyzed by using the phenomenological-based cellular automaton (CA) algorithm. The developed CA model was coded into DEFORM platform, which is a Finite Element Method (FEM)-based software for simulation of material deformation process. The developed CA-model can thus predict the nucleation and growth kinetics of dynamically recrystallized grains of the testing material in hot working process. Furthermore, the effects of the deformation temperature, true strain and strain rate on the microstructural evolution of the testing material were physically studied by using Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator and the developed CA-model was verified by the experimental results. Through simulation and experiment, it is found that the results predicted by the CA-model have a good agreement with the experimental ones.

A Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK)-model was established for dynamic recrystallization in hot deformation process of 52100 steel. The effects of hot deformation temperature, true strain and strain rate on the microstructural evolution of the steel were physically studied by using Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator and the experimental results were used for validation of the JMAK-model. Through simulation and experiment, it is found that the predicted results of DRX volume fraction, DRX grain size and average grain size are in good agreement with the experimental ones.

AbstractThe microstructure evolution of U-Nb alloys during solidification and consequent cooling process was simulated using a cellular automaton (CA) model. By using this model, ϒ phase precipitation and monotectoid decomposition were simulated, and dendrite morphology of ϒ phase, Nb microsegregation and kinetics of monotectoid decomposition were obtained. To validate the model, an ingot of U-5.5Nb (wt.%) was produced and temperature measuring experiment was carried out. As-cast microstructure at different position taken from the ingot was investigated by using optical microscope and SEM. The effect of cooling rate on ϒ phase precipitation and monotectoid decomposition of U-Nb alloys was also studied. The simulated results were compared with the experimental results and the capability of the model for quantitatively predicting the microstructure evolution of U-Nb alloys during solidification and consequent cooling process was assessed.

AbstractIn order to study dynamic recrystallization behavior of the as-extruded 3Cr20Ni10W2 under isothermal compression conditions, a cellular automaton (CA) model was applied to simulate hot compression. Analysis on the strain–stress curves indicates that dynamic recrystallization is the main softening mechanism for the 3Cr20Ni10W2 when the deformation occurred in the temperature range of 1203–1303 K with an interval of 50 K and strain rate range of 0.01–10 s−1. The deformation temperature and strain rate have a significant influence on the dynamically recrystallized grain size. Subsequently, a CA model is established to simulate the dynamic recrystallization behaviors of the studied alloy. The simulated results show that the mean grain size increases with the increased deformation temperature and decreases with the increased strain rate, which is consistent with the experimental result. In addition, the average absolute relative error, which is 13.14%, indicates that the process of the dynamic recrystallization and the dynamically recrystallized grain size can be well predicted by the present CA model.

The cellular automaton (CA) method coupling fundamental metallurgical principles was used to simulate the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si alloy in β processed. Using physically based rules for the simulation of nucleation and growth phenomena of dynamically recrystallized grains. The effects of hot deformation temperature and true strain on the DRX characteristic of the alloy during β processed was studied, and the results compared with experiments. The predictions show very good agreement with the experimental results for the alloy.

ABSTRACTWhen high strength and high ductility are required, the Twinning Induced Plasticity steels are an excellent choice. Their mechanical advantages are perfectly known in the automotive industry. Then, they are currently deeply studied. During the deformation at high temperature, TWIP steel experiences dynamic recrystallization. This mechanism results from dislocation interactions, and it depends of temperature, stress, strain, and strain rate. Experimental data give the maximum stress reached by the material, but the critical stress which determinates the DRX onset must be calculated from the strain hardening rate. Both stress and strain change simultaneously, and this variation gives the analytic data to determine σc, which is located at the inflection point of θ-σ plot. The main purpose of this paper was to study how the chemical composition and the experimental parameters (temperature and strain rate) affect the DRX, by the calculation and analysis of the σc values. Hot compression tests were applied to a pair of TWIP steels to compare the DRX onset and its relationship with the vanadium addition. The experimental variables were temperature and strain rate. The true stress–true strain plots were used to calculate σc by cutting data up to a previous point before the σp value, then, a polynomial fit and derivation were applied. The Zener-Hollomon parameter (Z) versus the stresses (peak and critical) plots show how the micro-alloying element vanadium improves the strain hardening in the analyzed TWIP steels.

A two-dimensional modified cellular automaton (CA) model was developed to simulate the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behaviour during thermo-mechanical processing. It provides a link for multiscale modeling to bridge the mesoscopic dislocation activities with the macroscopic mechanical properties. This model is applied to investigate the effect of initial grain sizes on DRX process in commercial pure copper. The simulated results indicate that the stable size of recrystallized grain is independent on initial grain sizes. However, the percentage of DRX is not only related to the thermo-mechanical parameters, but also influenced by the initial microstructure. It is concluded that larger initial grain sizes promote a delay in the DRX occur on commercial pure copper. The calculated results compare well with the limited number of experimental observations and theoretical conclusions.

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.

Based on the theoretical model and physical mechanism of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in metal materials, the dislocation density change, nucleation and grain growth model during the process of DRX are taken into account. And according to the nucleation driven by dislocation and grain growth kinetic, transformation rules are made. A modeling methodology coupling fundamental metallurgical principles based on amended nucleation rate with the cellular automaton (CA) technique is here derived to simulate the 316LN.The two-dimensional CA model uses quadrilateral element and periodic boundary condition and Von-Neumann neighbor type. The influence of strain, strain rate and deformation temperature on dynamic recrystallization volume fraction and average grain size are analyzed on the basis of established CA model.

A tow-dimensional Cellular Automaton model has been established to simulate dynamic recrystallization (DRX) process of metals. The model considers the process of dynamic recovery, dislocation density, nucleation rate and etc on DRX. The variation of dislocation density, recrystallization-grain (R-grain) shape, orientation and mean size of R-grains can be detected during the whole deformation process. The simulated results agreed well with classical theory of growth kinetics. The effects of strain and strain rate to DRX and R-grains are discussed in the end of this paper. The percentage of DRX and mean size of R-grains are related with both strain and strain rate.
