High Nitrogen Stainless Steel

Dynamic recrystallization was studied for the stainless steels with nitrogen contents of 0.56% to 1.08% during hot deformation at temperatures of 900~1200 with strain rates ranging from 0.003 to 42 s-1. It was found that flow stress could increase remarkably with increasing nitrogen content. Flow curves during the deformation by 0.1~42/s at temperatures of 900~1200°C show a single peak, indicating the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization during deformation. The peak strain seems to decrease with increasing N content, suggesting that higher content of N facilitates dynamic recrystallization. The quenched microstructures were analyzed by optical microscopy, EBSD and TEM. The recrystallized grain sizes on the quenched specimens were measured and its dependence on temperature and strain rate was analyzed. At high temperature, continuously dynamically recrystallized microstructures were observed; whilst at low temperature, necklace-like partially recrystallized microstructures were found.

The deformation behavior of supermartensitic and martensitic stainless steels was investigated through compression test using Gleeble-3800 thermo-mechanical simulator within the temperature range of 900 – 1200 оС and the strain rates range of 0.01 – 10 s-1. The results showed that the flow stress and the peak strain increase with the drop in the deformation temperature and the rise in the strain rate. Flow stress of SMS steel exceeds flow stress of MS steel for same regimes of deformation. The difference in flow stress increases with the increase in Zener-Hollomon parameter, but does not exceed 15 MPa. The critical deformation, required to start dynamic recrystallization, for supermartensitic stainless steel is slightly lower than for martensitic stainless steel. The hot deformation activation energy of steels is also investigated, their values are similar and equal to 432 and 440 kJ/mol for MS and SMS steel, respectively.

Effects of nitrogen content on hot ductility of duplex stainless steels have been investigated. With the increase of nitrogen content in the duplex stainless steels, mechanical strength increased, while hot ductility and elongation decreased. With the same strain rates and deformation degree, the high nitrogen content led to the high optimum hot ductility temperature for the high nitrogen DSS alloy. These results indicated the importance of control over the shape and volume fraction of phases in duplex stainless steels to achieve the optimum hot ductility.

Alloy 825 is widely used in several industries, but its useful service life is limited by both mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The current work explores the effect of the addition of magnesium on the recrystallization and mechanical behavior of alloy 825 under hot compression. Compression tests were performed under conditions representative of typical forming processes: temperatures between 1100 and 1250 °C and at strain rates of 0.1–10 s−1 to a true strain of 0.7. Microstructural evolution was characterized by electron backscattered diffraction. Dynamic recrystallization was found to be more prevalent under all test conditions in samples containing magnesium, but not in all cases of conventional alloy 825. The texture direction ⟨101⟩ was the dominant orientation parallel to the longitudinal direction of casting (also the direction in which the samples were compressed) in samples that contained magnesium under all test conditions, but not in any sample that did not contain magnesium. For all deformation conditions, the peak stress was approximately 10% lower in material with the addition of magnesium. Furthermore, the differences in the peak strain between different temperatures are approximately 85% smaller if magnesium is present. The average activation energy for hot deformation was calculated to be 430 kJ mol−1 with the addition of magnesium and 450 kJ mol−1 without magnesium. The average size of dynamically recrystallized grains in both alloys showed a power law relation with the Zener–Hollomon parameter, DD~Z−n, and the exponent of value, n, is found to be 0.12. These results can be used to design optimized compositions and thermomechanical treatments of alloy 825 to maximize the useful service life under current service conditions. No experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of such changes on the service life and such experiments should now be performed.

Inconel®718 is a well-known nickel-based super-alloy used for high-temperature applications after thermomechanical processes followed by heat treatments. This work describes the evolution of the microstructure and the stresses during hot deformation of a prototype alloy named IN718WP produced by powder metallurgy with similar chemical composition to the matrix of Inconel®718. Compression tests were performed by the thermomechanical simulator Gleeble®3800 in a temperature range from 900 to 1025 °C, and strain rates scaled from 0.001 to 10 s−1. Flow curves of IN718WP showed similar features to those of Inconel®718. The relative stress softening of the IN718WP was comparable to standard alloy Inconel®718 for the highest strain rates. Large stress softening at low strain rates may be related to two phenomena: the fast recrystallization rate, and the coarsening of micropores driven by diffusion. Dynamic recrystallization grade and grain size were quantified using metallography. The recrystallization grade increased as the strain rate decreased, although showed less dependency on the temperature. Dynamic recrystallization occurred after the formation of deformation bands at strain rates above 0.1 s−1 and after the formation of subgrains when deforming at low strain rates. Recrystallized grains had a large number of sigma 3 boundaries, and their percentage increased with strain rate and temperature. The calculated apparent activation energy and strain rate exponent value were similar to those found for Inconel®718 when deforming above the solvus temperature.

Interrupted and continuous hot compression tests were performed for eutectoid steel over the temperature range of 850 to 1050 °C and while using strain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1 s−1. The interrupted tests were carried out to characterize the kinetics of static recrystallization(SRX) and determinate the interpass time conditions that are required for initiation and propagation of dynamic recrystallization (DRX), while considering that the material does not contain microalloying elements additions for the recrystallization delay. Continuous testing was used to investigate the evolution of the austenite grain size that results from DRX. The results indicate that carbon content accelerates the SRX rate. This effect was observed when the retardation of recrystallization due to a decrease in deformation temperature from 1050 to 850 °C was only about one order of magnitude. The expected decelerate effect on the SRX rate when the initial grain size increases from 86 to 387 µm was not significant for this material. Although the strain parameter has a strong influence on SRX rate, in contrast to a lesser degree of strain rate, both of the effects are nearly independent of the chemical composition. The calculated maximum interpass times that are compatible with DRCR (Dynamic Recrystallization Controlled Rolling), for relatively low strain rates, suggest that the onset and maintaining of the DRX is possible. However, while using the empirical equations that were developed in the present work to estimate the maximum times for high strain rates, such as those observed in the wire and rod mills, indicate that the DRX start is feasible, but maintaining this mechanism for 5% softening in each pass after peak strain is not possible.

AbstractThe high-temperature plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization behavior of BT25y alloy were investigated within the deformation temperatures of 1,213–1,293 K and strain rates of 0.001–1.0 s–1 on a Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator. Results showed that the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism played an important role in the hot deformation of BT25y alloy. Based on the regression analysis of the true stress–strain data, the stress exponent and deformation activation energy of BT25y alloy were calculated to be 3.4912 and 288.0435 kJ/mol, respectively. The θ-σ and dθ/dσ–σ curves were plotted to further obtain the critical stress and critical strain for the occurrence of DRX. Based on the analysis results, the DRX kinetic model was established. The model was validated by the comparison between predicted and experimental volume fraction of DRX. As the DRX evolution was sensitive to deformation temperature and strain rate, quantities of dynamically recrystallized grains appeared at higher temperatures and lower strain rates.

Strain Rate Change

The design of industrial hot metal forming processes nowadays is mostly carried out using commercial Finite Element (FE) software codes. For precise FE simulations, reliable material properties are a crucial factor. In bulk metal forming, the most important material property is the materials flow stress, which determines the form filling and the necessary forming forces. At elevated temperatures, the flow stress of steels is determined by strain hardening, dynamic recovery and partly by dynamic recrystallization, which is dependent on strain rate and temperature. To simulate hot forming processes, which are often characterized by rapidly changing strain rates and temperatures, the flow stress is typically derived from flow curves, determined at arbitrary constant temperatures and strain rates only via linear interpolation. Hence, the materials instant reaction and relaxation behavior caused by rapid strain rate changes is not captured during simulation. To investigate the relevance of the relaxation behavior for FE simulations, trails with abrupt strain rate change are laid out and the effect on the material flow stress is analyzed in this paper. Additionally, the microstructure evolution due to the strain rate change is investigated. For this purpose, cylinder compression tests of an industrial case hardening steel are conducted at elevated temperatures and different strain rates. To analyze the influence of rapid strain rate changes, changes by one power of ten are performed at a strain of 0.3. As a reference, flow curves of the same material are determined at the initial and final constant strain rate. To investigate the microstructure evolution, compression samples are quenched at different stages, before and after the strain rate change. The results show that the flow curves after the strain rate change tend to approximate the flow curves measured for the final strain rate. However, directly after the strain rate change significant differences between the assumed instant flow stress and the real material behavior can be observed. Furthermore, it can be shown that the state of dynamic recrystallization at the time of the strain rate change influences the material response and relaxation behavior resulting in different slopes of the investigated flow curves after the strain rate change.

Axisymmetric compression tests using Gleeble 3800 simulator were carried out to investigate hot deformation behaviors of an AA5083 alloy under high strain rate conditions. Sharp temperature rise and load cell ringing characterized by severely vibrational load responses were encountered at strain rates higher than 20 s-1 and sample buckling occurred at low temperatures. The load cell ringing was corrected using a moving average method with a two-way filtering operation to correct phase distortion. Isothermal flow curves were obtained by fitting the instantaneous temperatures into a binomial function, while buckling was correlated with sample height and Young’s modulus. After the corrections, hyperbolic sine equation was successfully used to extend from the hot tensile data having strain rates lower than 3 s-1 to 100 s-1. Quantitative analyses were accordingly made over the effects of temperature, strain rate and work hardening behavior on the flow curves. The previous constitutive equation in form of temperature, strain and strain rate was modified to predict the hot deformation resistance of the AA5083 alloy at temperatures of 250-450oC under the high strain rate operations.
