Ti-6Al-4V matrix composite (TMC) reinforced with TiB plus TiC was prepared and hydrogenated. Isothermal compression tests and high temperature tensile tests were carried out to study the effect of the hydrogen on hot deformation and superplastic deformation. The flow behaviour and microstructure evaluation of hot deformation was investigated. The results show hydrogen can reduce the flow stress and decrease the deformation temperature or increase the strain rate at the same flow stress level in hot deformation. Hydrogen increasing β phase and promoting dynamic recrystallizaiton (DRX) was considered as the main reasons for hydrogen-induced plasticity in hot deformation. The results of superplastic deformation indicate hydrogen can decrease the superplastic temperature 100°C or increase strain rate one order of magnitude at the same elongation level in superplastic deformation. Hydrogen promoting DRX were considered as the main reason for improvement of superplastic elongation.

In this work, hot compression experiments of 300M steel were performed at 900–1150 °C and 0.01–10 s−1. The relation of flow stress and microstructure evolution was analyzed. The intriguing finding was that at a lower strain rate (0.01 s−1), the flow stress curves were single-peaked, while at a higher strain rate (10 s−1), no peak occurred. Metallographic observation results revealed the phenomenon was because dynamic recrystallization was more complete at a lower strain rate. In situ compression tests were carried out to compare with the results by ex situ compression tests. Hot working maps representing the influences of strains, strain rates, and temperatures were established. It was found that the power dissipation coefficient was not only related to the recrystallized grain size but was also related to the volume fraction of recrystallized grains. The optimal hot working parameters were suggested. This work provides comprehensive understanding of the hot workability of 300M steel in thermal compression.

Deformation Behaviors

The hot deformation behaviors of 30%SiCp/2024 aluminum alloy composites was studied by hot compression tests using Gleeble-1500 thermomechanical simulator at temperatures ranging from 350-500°C under strain rates of 0.01-10 s-1. The true stress-true strain curves were obtained in the tests. Constitutive equation and processing map were established. The results show that the flow stress decreases with the increase of deformation temperature at a constant strain rate, and increases with the increase of strain rate at constant temperature, indicating that composite is a positive strain rate sensitive material. The flow stress behavior of composite during hot compression deformation can be represented by a Zener-Hollomon parameter in the hyperbolic sine form. Its activation energy for hot deformation Q is 183.251 kJ/mol. The optimum hot working conditions for this material are suggested.

The hot deformation behavior of U720Li was investigated by isothermal compression tests at temperature ranging from 1060-1180°C and strain rate from 0.001s-1 to 20s-1. The flow stress-strain curves and microstructures were investigated and a constitutive equation was established. It is found that flow stress is sensitive to stain rate and deformation temperature greatly. The higher stain rate resultes in a larger fluctuation in flow stress. The hot deformation activation energy is determined to be 552.8kJ/mol. Grain size increases with increasing temperature and decreases firstly and then increases with increasing strain rate. U720Li alloy should be deformed below the solve temperature of γ primary phase with lower strain rate in order to obtain the even and fine grain size.

Abstract Aluminum piston alloys of the AA4032 type are produced by direct-chill (DC) casting and subsequent forging; therefore, it is important to understand their thermomechanical behavior. In recent years, it was shown that additions of Cu and Er could improve mechanical properties of these alloys at room and high temperatures. In this work, we studied the constitutive behavior of AA4032-type alloys with and without Cu and Er additions. The experimental true stress–true strain curves were obtained by compression tests under various temperatures [683 K to 723 K (410 °C to 450 °C)] and strain rates (0.01 to 10 s−1) to determine constitutive parameters [strain-rate sensitivity, activation energy, and Zener–Hollomon (Z) parameter] for the hot deformation behavior of AA4032-type piston alloys with and without additions of Cu and Er. The flow stress decreased with increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate. The results also showed that increasing the Cu content increased the flow stress over the applied range of deformation conditions due to solid-solution strengthening and the formation of primary Si particles, which led to an increase in the activation energy during hot deformation. Moreover, the main microstructural damage in the AA4032 alloy with 3.5 pct Cu was predominantly due to the cracking of primary Si particles. Additions of 0.4 pct Er and 3.5 pct Cu lower the activation energy of deformation, Q, as compared to the base alloy and the alloy with 3.5 pct Cu. The microstructures in the deformed specimens consisted of subgrains, recrystallized grains, and fine eutectic phases. The alloys containing Er demonstrated more polygonized grains at a low strain rate than the alloys without Er, indicating that Er hindered recrystallization development. The peak stress of the AA4032 alloy with 3.5 pct Cu alloy was higher than for the base AA4032 alloy and for the AA4032 alloy with 3.5 pct Cu and 0.4 pct Er additions, which was attributed to the prevalence of the work-hardening mechanism over the softening mechanism.

Hot Deformation Behavior

Isothermal compression tests of TC18 titanium alloy at the deformation temperatures ranging from 25?C to 800?C and strain rate ranging from 10-4 to 10-2 s-1 were conducted by using a WDW-300 electronic universal testing machine. The hot deformation behavior of TC18 was characterized based on an analysis of the true stress-true strain curves of TC18 titanium alloy. The curves show that the flow stress increases with increasing the strain rate and decreases with increasing the temperature, and the strain rate play an important role in the flow stress when increasing the temperatures. By taking the effect of strain into account, an improved constitutive relationship was proposed based on the Arrhenius equation. By comparison with the experimental results, the model prediction agreed well with the experimental data, which demonstrated the established constitutive relationship was reliable and can be used to predict the hot deformation behavior of TC18 titanium alloy.

The hot deformation behaviors and microstructural evolution of Mg-3.0Nd-0.2Zn-0.4Zr (wt. %, NZ30K) alloy were investigated by means of the isothermal hot compression tests at temperatures of 350-500 °C with strain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1s-1. The results showed that the flow stress increased to a peak and then decreased which showed a dynamic flow softening. The flow stress behavior was described by the hyperbolic sine constitutive equation with an average activation energy of 193.8 kJ/mol. The average size of dynamically recrystallized grains of hot deformed NZ30K alloy was reduced by increasing the strain rate and/or decreasing the deformation temperature. A large amount of fine particles precipitated in the grains interior and at the grain boundaries when heated to the compression temperatures and soaked for 5min below 450 °C. However, the volume fraction of particles decreased significantly when soaked for 5 min at 500 °C, and the coarse particles precipitated mainly at the grain boundaries. Hot deformation at the temperature of 500 °C around and at the strain rate range of 0.1s-1 was desirable for NZ30K alloy.

The hot deformation behaviors of Aluminum alloy C919 were studied in the present investigation. The hot compression tests for C919 were carried out in the temperature range of 350°C~470°C and strain rates range of 0.001s-1~1s-1 using GLEEBLE-1500 thermal simulate testing machine. Optical microscopy (OM) was used for the microstructure characterization. The experimental results showed that the flow stress of C919 aluminum alloy decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rates and the flow stress curves tended to increase at a strain rate of 1s-1 with increasing strain, while the flow stresses kept with increasing strain at lower strain rate. The alloys were more prone to dynamic recrystallization with decreasing strain rates during hot deformation. The hot compression behavior of C919 aluminum alloy can be described as hyperbolic sine function corrected Arrhenius relation. The processing maps for the alloy were built at a strain of 0.6. The instability deformation domain occurred at temperatures range from 350°C and 380°C and at a strain rate of 0.1-1s-1. Based on the processing maps and microstructure observations, the optimum hot-working parameters were determined to be at a temperature of 470°C in the strain rate range from 0.1-0.01s−1 for the C919 aluminum alloy.

The hot compression tests of Ti-12Mo-4Zr-5Sn alloy were tested on the thermo-mechanical simulator of Gleeble-3500 under isothermal and constant strain rate. We studied this alloy’s behavior during thermal deformation at the conditions of T = 670~820 °C, ε ˙ = 0.001~10 s−1, and deformation degree 70%. The rheological stress curves of the alloy were modified, the characteristics of the rheological stress curves were analyzed, and the activation energy map of hot deformation was established. A physical constitutive model of the alloy based on strain compensation was established, which has taken the relationship between Young’s modulus and self-diffusion coefficient and temperature into account. Moreover, the intrinsic hot workability ξ map of the alloy was established based on the polar reciprocity model. The results show that this alloy’s rheological stress will descend when the temperature of deformation rises and grow when the strain rate increases, and has negative sensitivity of temperature and positive sensitivity of strain rate. According to the error calculation, the physical constitutive model’s correlation coefficient is 0.9910 and the average relative error is 3.97%, which has good accuracy. Through the analysis of the microstructures of the instability zone and the stability zone, it was found that the instability mode of the instability zone was dominated by the local flow, and the deformation mechanism of the stability zone was dominated by the dynamic recrystallization. The optimum processing parameters of the alloy known from ξ map and metallographic structure are the following: T = 790~820 °C and ε ˙ = 0.001~0.01 s−1.

Stress-strain curves of the EN AW 6082 aluminium alloy with 1.2 Si-0.51 Mg-0.75 Mn (wt.%) were determined by the uniaxial compression tests at temperatures of 450–550 °C with a strain rate of 0.5–10 s−1. The initial structure state corresponded to three processing types: as-cast structure non-homogenized or homogenized at 500 °C, and the structure after homogenization and hot extrusion. Significantly higher flow stress appeared as a result of low temperature forming of the non-homogenized material. Hot deformation activation energy Q-values varied between 99 and 122 kJ·mol−1 for both homogenized materials and from 200 to 216 kJ·mol−1 for the as-cast state, while the Q-values calculated from the measured steady-state stress were always higher than those calculated from the peak stress values. For the extruded state of the 6082 alloy, the physically-based model was developed to reliably predict the flow stress influenced by dynamic softening, temperature, strain rate, and true strain up to 0.6.

Hot Deformation Behaviour

The deformation behaviour of a coarse-grained as-cast medium-carbon steel, alloyed with 1.2% Mn, 0.8% Cr and 0.2% Mo, was studied by uniaxial compression tests for the strain rates of 0.02 s−1–20 s−1 in the unusually wide range of temperatures (650–1280 °C), i.e., in various phase regions including the region with predominant bainite content (up to the temperature of 757 °C). At temperatures above 820 °C, the structure was fully austenitic. The hot deformation activation energies of 648 kJ·mol−1 and 364 kJ·mol−1 have been calculated for the temperatures ≤770 °C and ≥770 °C, respectively. This corresponds to the significant increase of flow stress in the low-temperature bainitic region. Unique information on the hot deformation behaviour of bainite was obtained. The shape of the stress-strain curves was influenced by the dynamic recrystallization of ferrite or austenite. Dynamically recrystallized austenitic grains were strongly coarsened with decreasing strain rate and growing temperature. For the austenitic region, the relationship between the peak strain and the Zener–Hollomon parameter has been derived, and the phenomenological constitutive model describing the flow stress depending on temperature, true strain rate and true strain was developed. The model can be used to predict the forming forces in the seamless tubes production of the given steel.
