To Understand the Mechanisms of Accelerated Dynamic Recrystallization Behavior during the Warm Deformation of Martensites, the Tempered Lath Martensite of 0.4C Steel (Fe-0.399%C-1.96%Mn in Mass %) Was Deformed at 650 °C in Compression to Different Reductions, and Microstructural Evolution Was Investigated. During the Deformation, an Initial Lath Martensite Structure with a Complicated Morphology Was Gradually Changed into More Equiaxed Structure. After 50% Reduction and above, an Equiaxed, Fine Grained Structure Mainly Surrounded by High-Angle Boundaries Was Uniformly Formed with Dislocation Substructures, where the Dislocation Density in the Grains Is Relatively Low. Since there Was No Significant Boundary Migration during this Process, this Microstructural Evolution Can Be Termed as Continuous Dynamic Recrystallization.

The nucleation and development of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in hot deformed superalloy Inconel 718 during uniaxial compression were investigated by optical microscopy and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) technique. The results showed that the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization was the predominant DRX mechanism in this alloy. The variations of partial crystallographic orientations led to the individual nucleation inside the deformed grains, which implied the occurrence of local continuous dynamic recrystallization. The progressive subgrain rotation can be confirmed neither near the prior high angle grain boundaries nor within the original grains. It was found that, as the strain increased, the initial twin boundaries were gradually transformed to ordinary mobile high angle boundaries. Meanwhile, the new twin boundaries were formed inside the recrystallized grain necklaces. It was suggested that the characteristics of the twin boundaries evolution with increasing strain were associated with the transformation of initial twin boundaries as well as the generation of new ones, which resulted in the development of DRX.

Dynamic recrystallization behavior of Co-29Cr-6Mo-0.16N alloy was analyzed in details. Compression tests were carried out in a computer aided Thermecmaster- Z hot forging simulator. The results showed that uniformly distributed superfine grain size could be obtained by continuous dynamic recrystallization (DRX) process; Texture-free microstructure with uniformly distributed equiaxed fine grains was obtained. The formation of profuse stacking faults and their subsequent intersections are considered to be the principle mechanisms of DRX.

The development of ideal orientations within the steady-state region of hot torsion flow curves of fcc and bcc metals undergoing “continuous” dynamic recrystallization is analyzed. It is well known that in fcc metals, e.g., Al deformed at 400°C and above, the experimentally observed end texture consists of the twin-symmetric B(112¯)[11¯0]/B¯(1¯1¯2)[1¯10] component, whereby the (hkl)[uvw] indices correspond to the shear plane z and the shear direction θ, respectively. In bcc iron however, only one of the self-symmetric D1(112¯)[111] and D2(1¯1¯2)[111] components dominates (the former in the case of positive shear or clockwise rotation about the r-axis, and the latter during negative shear). The tendency toward a single end orientation imposes certain limitations on grain refinement, as this would ultimately imply the coalescence of subgrains of or close to this orientation, and therefore the disappearance of existing high angle boundaries (≥15 deg). It is believed that the preference of D1 over D2, or vice versa, could be related to phenomena other than glide-induced rotations, e.g., grain boundary migration resulting from differences in work hardening rates. In this paper, the standard Taylor model is first used to predict the texture evolution in simple shear under the full-constraint rate-sensitive scheme. This is then coupled with an approach that takes into account grain boundary migration resulting from differences in dislocation densities within grains of varying orientations. The preliminary results are in agreement with experimental findings, i.e., grains with initial orientations close to D2 grow at the expense of neighboring grains during negative shear and vice versa.

The study was carried out to understand the mechanisms occurring during dynamic recrystallization of hot deformed 11% chromium stabilized ferritic stainless steels and to compare the behaviour induced by various types of stabilization. It was observed that continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) operates in all materials starting at the onset of straining. Niobium has a more pronounced influence on hardening than titanium during hot deformation, which is due to solid solution strengthening and also to the reduction or stopping of grain boundary migration by solute drag effect. The D2 component, { 2 1 1 }<111>, was found as the major texture component at the steady state for the torsion tests carried along the negative shear direction. It was likely to be formed by the combination of straining and growth of the grains exhibiting both low stored energy and low rotation rate of the crystallographic axes.

Multidirectional isothermal forging (MDIF) was used on a Ti-44Al-4Nb-1.5Cr-0.5Mo-0.2B (at. %) alloy to obtain a crack-free pancake. The microstructural evolution, such as dynamic recovery and recrystallization behavior, were investigated using electron backscattered diffraction and transmission electron microscopy methods. The MDIF broke down the initial near-lamellar microstructure and produced a refined and homogeneous duplex microstructure. γ grains were effectively refined from 3.6 μm to 1.6 μm after the second step of isothermal forging. The ultimate tensile strength at ambient temperature and the elongation at 800 °C increased significantly after isothermal forging. β/B2→α2 transition occurred during intermediate annealing, and α2 + γ→β/B2 transition occurred during the second step of isothermal forging. The refinement mechanism of the first-step isothermal forging process involved the conversion of the lamellar structure and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) of γ grains in the original mixture-phase region. The lamellar conversion included continuous dynamic recrystallization and DDRX of the γ laths and bugling of the γ phase. DDRX behavior of γ grains dominated the refinement mechanism of the second step of isothermal forging.

AbstractMicrostructural evolution in the TiC-reinforced Mo–Si–B-based alloy during tensile creep deformation at 1,500°C and 137 MPa was investigated via scanning electron microscope-backscattered electron diffraction (SEM-EBSD) observations. The creep curve of this alloy displayed no clear steady state but was dominated by the tertiary creep regime. The grain size of the Moss phase increased in the primary creep regime. However, the grain size of the Moss phase was found to remarkably decrease to <10 µm with increasing creep strain in the tertiary creep regime. The EBSD observations revealed that the refinement of the Moss phase occurred by continuous dynamic recrystallization including the transformation of low-angle grain boundaries to high-angle grain boundaries. Accordingly, the deformation of this alloy is most likely to be governed by the grain boundary sliding and the rearrangement of Moss grains such as superplasticity in the tertiary creep regime. In addition, the refinement of the Moss grains surrounding large plate-like T2 grains caused the rotation of their surfaces parallel to the loading axis and consequently the cavitation preferentially occurred at the interphases between the end of the rotated T2 grains and the Moss grains.

Warm deformation is one of the promising hot rolling strategies for producing thin hot rolled steel strips. A better understanding of the microstructure evolution during warm deformation is important for a successful introduction of such processing into the industrial production. In the present research, the effect of deformation strain on the ferrite microstructure development in a low carbon Ti-microalloyed steel was investigated through warm torsion testing. Microstructural analysis with optical microscope and electron back-scattering diffraction was carried out on the warm deformed ferrite microstructures. The results show that at the early stage of deformation an unstable subboundaries network forms and low angle boundaries are introduced in the original grains. Then, with further straining, low angle boundaries transform into high angle boundaries and stable fine equiaxed ferrite grains form. It was considered that dynamic softening and dynamically formation of new fine ferrite grains, with high angle boundaries, were caused by continuous dynamic recrystallization of ferrite.
