Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) is one of the most important mechanisms for microstructure evolution during deformation of various metals and alloys. So-called discontinuous DRX usually develops in structural materials with low to medium stacking fault energy during hot working. The local migration, i.e. bulging, of grain boundaries leads to the formation of recrystallization nuclei, which then grow out consuming work-hardened surroundings. The cyclic character of nucleation and growth of new grains during deformation results in a dynamically constant average grain size. The dynamic grain size is sensitively dependent on temperature and strain rate and can be expressed by a power law function of flow stress with a grain size exponent of about-0.7 under conditions of hot working. Recent studies on DRX phenomenon suggest that a decrease in deformation temperature changes the structural mechanism for new grain formation. As a result, the grain size exponent in the relationship between the dynamic grain size and flow stress approaches about-0.25 under warm working conditions.

The Relationship

Predicting the properties of a material from knowledge of the internal microstructures is attracting significant interest in the fields of materials design and engineering. The most commonly used expression, known as Hall-Petch Relationship (HPR), reports on the relationship between the flow stress and the average grain size. However, there is much evidence that other statistical information that the grain size distribution in materials may have significant impact on the mechanical properties. These could even be more pronounced in the case of grains of the nanometer size, where the HPR is no longer valid and the Reverse-HPR is more applicable. This paper proposes a statistical model for the relationship between flow stress and grain size distribution. The model considered different deformation mechanisms and was used to predict mechanical properties of aluminium and copper. The results obtained with the model shows that the dispersion of grain size distribution plays an important role in the design of desirable mechanical properties. In particular, it was found that that the dependence of a material’s mechanical properties on grain size dispersion also follows the HPR to Inverse-HPR type of behaviour. The results also show that copper is more sensitive to changes in grain size distribution than aluminium.

The Relationship

The 3003 aluminum alloy was deformed by isothermal compression in the range of deformation temperature 300 – 500 ℃ at strain rate 0.0l – 10.0 s-1 with Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator. A constitutive equation is established from the flow stress of the hot deformation. It is found that the average grain size of the 3003 aluminum alloy increases with the decrease of Zener-Hollomon (Z) value, and there is a linear correlation between them. The prediction model of the steady-state flow stress and the average grain size is established. The steady-state flow stress increases with the decrease of the average grain size. The microhardness of the 3003 aluminum alloy has a positive linear relationship with lnZ, and the relationship between the microhardness and the grain size meets the Hall-Petch equation, which can provide a reference for the microstructure control and rolling equipment selection of the 3003 aluminum alloy under hot deformation conditions.

The deformation microstructures and mechanical properties were studied in a high-Mn steel subjected to hot compression. The deformation microstructures resulted from the development of dynamic recrystallization (DRX). Two DRX mechanisms, namely discontinuous and continuous, operated during warm-to-hot working. Under the conditions of hot working when the flow stresses were below 100 MPa, a power law function was obtained between the DRX grain size and the true flow stress with a grain size exponent of −0.8 owing to the discontinuous DRX. On the other hand, the gradual change in the operating DRX mechanism from a discontinuous to continuous one upon a transition from hot to warm working, when the true flow stress increases above 100 MPa, resulted in the grain size exponent of about −0.5 in the power law between the flow stress and the DRX grain size. The DRX microstructures developed by warm-to-hot working provide a beneficial combination of mechanical properties including high ultimate tensile strength in the range of 700–900 MPa and sufficient ductility with a uniform elongation well above 50%. The strengthening of the samples with DRX microstructures was attributed to the combined effect of the grain size and dislocation strengthening resulting in a rather high grain boundary strengthening factor of 570 MPa μm0.5 in the Hall-Petch-type relationship.

The flow stress curves of Al-5.2Mg-0.6Mn alloy were tested by isothermal compression method with Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator at the temperatures of 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500°C with strain rate of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1s-1, respectively. The morphologies of grains deformed were analyzed by TEM. Four material constants including structural factor (A), stress exponential (n), stress multiplier (α) and average activation energy (Q) of the alloy were calculated by linear regression processing. The models of flow stress (σ) and grain size (d) based on Zener-Hollomon parameter (Z) and the constants were established. The results show that the values of A, n, α, Q of the alloy were equal to 3.058×109s-1, 3.314, 0.0184 mm2N-1, 160.94 kJmol-1 respectively, and the models of flow stress and average sub-grains size can be described as σ=54.31ln {(0.327×10-9Z)0.302 +[(0.327×10-9Z)0.604+1]0.5} and d=(0.045lnZ-0.675)-1, respectively. The flow stress appreciably reduced but average grain size increased with decreasing Z value. The conditions of dynamic recrystallization occurring for the alloy were the temperature above or equal to 350°C and lnZ below or equal to 24.47.

The dynamic recrystallization behavior of 42CrMo steel during the pre-stress hardening grinding (PSHG) process was investigated at temperatures ranging from 850–1150 °C and pre-stress from 0 MPa to 167 MPa. A coupled grain size model considering different grinding conditions was constructed to research the grinding process. Microstructure analyses showed that the hardening layer exhibits the typical features of dynamic recrystallization (DRX), and the evolution process of microstructure and grain size can be predicted properly by the model. The volume fraction of DRX grains increases with increasing pre-stress and grinding temperature. The critical condition for DRX grains occurring is that with a grinding depth of 150 µm, pre-stress is larger than 67 MPa, while most of the DRX grains occurred when pre-stress is larger than 100 MPa. Furthermore, the relationship between pre-stress and flow stress has been derived. The result shows that flow stress shows a linearly increasing trend, with the increase of pre-stress at the stage of lower strain.

Thermal mechanical loadings in machining process would promote material microstructure changes. The material microstructure evolution, such as grain size evolution and phase transformation could significantly influence the material flow stress behavior, which will directly affect the machining forces. An analytical model is proposed to predict cutting forces during the turning of AISI 4130 steel. The material dynamic recrystallization is considered through Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) model. The explicit calculation of average grain size is provided in an analytical model. The grain size effect on the material flow stress is considered by introducing the Hall-Petch relation into a modified Johnson-Cook model. The cutting forces prediction are based on Oxley’s contact mechanics with consideration of mechanical and thermal loads. The model is validated by comparing the predicted machining forces with experimental measurements.

Dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization occurred during hot compression of the Al composites. The grain size increased with increasing temperature (590k-710k) and decreased at 750k due to dynamic recrystallization. The grain size decreased with increasing strain rates at 750k.

Hot-core heavy reduction rolling (HHR2) is an innovative technology, where a two-high rolling mill is installed after the solidification end of a strand, which can significantly eliminate the core defects of the slab. The mill exhibits a heavy reduction ratio, which promotes the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of the slab. This study aims to optimize the parameters of the HHR2 process considering the effect of DRX on microstructure homogeneity. The secondary development of commercial software DEFORM-3D is conducted to calculate the deformation and DRX behavior of HHR2 for different reduction ratios. The parameters of DRX volume fraction and DRX grain size are compared, and finer DRX grains are obtained when the greater reduction ratios are conducted in HHR2. Then, corresponding to the deformation conditions in the HHR2, the thermal–mechanical simulations are conducted on the Gleeble3800 to obtain the average grain sizes before and after this process. When the reduction amount increases from 20 mm to 50 mm, the difference of average grain size between the core and the surface reduces by 52%. In other words, appropriately enhancing the reduction ratio is helpful to reduce the average austenite grain and promote the microstructure uniformity of the slab. These results provide some valuable information on the design of deformation parameters for HHR2.

Material’s plastic deformation by hot forming processes can be used to make the materials generate dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and fine grains and accordingly products with more excellent mechanical properties, such as higher strength and larger elongation can be obtained. In this study, compression tests and water quenching are conducted to obtain the flow stress of the materials and the grain size after DRX. Through the regression analysis, prediction equations for the magnesium alloy microstructure were established. Simulations with different rolling parameters are conducted to find out the relationship between the DRX fractions or grain sizes of the rolled products and the rolling parameters. The simulation results show that rolling temperature of 400°C and thickness reduction of 50% are the optimal conditions. An average grain size of 0.204μm-0.206μm in the microstructure is obtained and the strength and formability of ZK60 magnesium alloys can be improved.
