Research on the Hot Deformation Behavior of Al-Zn-Mg-Sc-Zr Alloy During Compression at Elevated Temperature

The flow behavior of Al-Zn-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy during hot compression deformation was studied by isothermal compression test using Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical equipment. Compression tests were performed in the temperature range of 340-500 °C and in the strain rate range of 0.001-10 s^?1.The results indicate that the flow stress of the alloy increases with increasing strain rate at a given temperature, and decreases with increasing temperature at a given imposed strain rate. The relationship between flow stress and strain rate and temperature was derived by analyzing the experimental data. The constitutive equation of Al-Zn-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy during hot compression deformation can be described by the Arrhenius relationship of the hyperbolic sine form. The values of A, n, and α in the analytical expression of strain rate are fitted to be 1.49 × 10¹⁰ s^?1, 7.504, and 0.0114 MPa^?1, respectively. The hot deformation activation energy of the alloy during compression is 150.25 kJ/mol. The temperature and strain rate have great influences on microstructure evolution of Al-Zn-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy during hot compression deformation. According to microstructure evolution, the dynamic flow softening is mainly caused by dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization in this present experiment.

Flow characteristics and constitutive modeling for elevated temperature deformation of a high Nb containing TiAl alloy

The hot deformation behavior of a high Nb containing TiAl alloy with a nominal composition of Ti–42Al–8Nb–(W, B, Y) was investigated at temperatures ranging from 1000 °C to 1150 °C and strain rates from 10⁻³ s⁻¹ to 0.5 s⁻¹ on a Gleeble thermo-simulation machine. The work hardening regime and flow softening behavior of the alloy were analyzed in detail. The results revealed that the onset of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) was quite easy for the present alloy, whereas the dynamic recovery (DRV) was impeded during the hot deformation. The DRX kinetics was studied by Avrami-type equation. The low Avrami exponents of the proposed equation indicate a lower recrystallization rate compared to ordinary metals and alloys. Based on the classical hyperbolic-sine law and the kinematics of DRX, the constitutive equations of the work hardening-recovery period (i.e. flow stress before the peak) and flow softening process (i.e. flow curve after the peak stress) were established for the present alloy, respectively. Comparisons between the experimental and calculated results revealed that except the severely cracked specimens, the stress–strain curves predicted by the established model are in good agreement with experimental results.     

High temperature deformation and processing map of a NiTi intermetallic alloy

The deformation behavior of a 49.8 Ni-50.2 Ti (at pct) alloy was investigated using the hot compression test in the temperature range of 700 °C–1100 °C, and strain rate of 0.001 s^?1 to 1 s^?1. The hot tensile test of the alloy was also considered to assist explaining the related deformation mechanism within the same temperature range and the strain rate of 0.1 s^?1. The processing map of the alloy was developed to evaluate the efficiency of hot deformation and to identify the instability regions of the flow. The peak efficiency of 24–28% was achieved at temperature range of 900 °C–1000 °C, and strain rates higher than 0.01 s^?1 in the processing map. The hot ductility and the deformation efficiency of the alloy exhibit almost similar variation with temperature, showing maximum at temperature range of 900 °C–1000 °C and minimum at 700 °C and 1100 °C. Besides, the minimum hot ductility lies in the instability regions of the processing map. The peak efficiency of 28% and microstructural analysis suggests that dynamic recovery (DRV) can occur during hot working of the alloy. At strain rates higher than 0.1 s^?1, the peak efficiency domain shifts from the temperature range of 850 °C–1000 °C to lower temperature range of 800 °C–950 °C which is desirable for hot working of the NiTi alloy. The regions of flow instability have been observed at high Z values and at low temperature of 700 °C and low strain rate of 0.001 s^?1. Further instability region has been found at temperature of 1000 °C and strain rates higher than 1 s^?1 and at temperature of 1100 °C and all range of strain rates.     

Investigation on Static Softening Behaviors of a Low Carbon Steel Under Ferritic Rolling Condition

The study aims to postulate a theoretical hypothesis for the finishing period of ferritic rolling technique of the low carbon steel. The static softening behavior during multistage hot deformation of a low carbon steel has been studied by double hot compression tests at 700-800 °C and strain rate of 1 s⁻¹ using a Gleeble-3500 simulator. Interrupted deformation is conducted with interpass times varying from 1 to 100 s after achieving a true strain of 0.5 in the first stage. The results indicate that the flow stress value at the second deformation is lower than that at the first one, and the flow stress drops substantially. The static softening effects increase with the increase of deformation temperature, holding temperature, and interpass time. The value of the ferritic static softening activation energy is obtained, and the static softening kinetics is modeled by the Avrami equation.     

Microstructure evolution and hot deformation behavior of Cu−3Ti−0.1Zr alloy with ultra-high strength

The hot compression deformation behavior of Cu–3Ti–0.1Zr alloy with the ultra-high strength and good electrical conductivity was investigated on a Gleeble–3500 thermal-mechanical simulator at temperatures from 700 to 850 °C with the strain rates between 0.001 and 1 s⁻¹. The results show that work hardening, dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization occur in the alloy during hot deformation. The hot compression constitutive equation at a true strain of 0.8 is constructed and the apparent activation energy of hot compression deformation Q is about 319.56 kJ/mol. The theoretic flow stress calculated by the constructed constitutive equation is consistent with the experimental result, and the hot processing maps are established based on the dynamic material model. The optimal hot deformation temperature range is between 775 and 850 °C and the strain rate range is between 0.001 and 0.01 s⁻¹.     

Constitutive Equation and Processing Map for Hot Deformation of SiC Particles Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites

Flow behavior and microstructures of Al/15% SiCp were investigated by hot compression tests using Gleeble-1500 thermomechanical simulator at temperatures ranging from 440 to 500 °C with strain rates of 0.001-1.0 s⁻¹. The high-temperature deformation behaviors of Al/15% SiCp were analyzed based on the true stress-true strain curves. The results show that the softening mechanism at low strain rate (0.001 s⁻¹) is dynamic recovery, and at high strain rates (0.01, 0.1, and 1 s⁻¹) is dynamic recrystallization (DRX). Based on these experimental data, a set of constitutive equations for Al/15% SiCp are described by the Zener-Hollomon parameter, and the coefficients of equations are found to be functions of strain. The constitutive equations reveal the dependence of flow stress on strains, strain rates, and temperatures. Furthermore, the mean error between the experimental and the calculated flow stress was computed. The result shows that the calculated results from constitutive equations are in good agreement with the experimental results. To demonstrate the potential workability of Al/15% SiCp, the processing map was established. The stable zones and the instability zones in processing map are identified and verified through micrographs. As a result, the optimum strain rates and temperatures for effective hot working of Al/15% SiCp were determined.     

Characterization of hot deformation and microstructure evolution of a new metastable β titanium alloy

The hot deformation characteristics of as-forged Ti?3.5Al?5Mo?6V?3Cr?2Sn?0.5Fe?0.1B?0.1C alloy within a temperature range from 750 to 910 °C and a strain rate range from 0.001 to 1 s^?1 were investigated by hot compression tests. The stress?strain curves show that the flow stress decreases with the increase of temperature and the decrease of strain rate. The microstructure is sensitive to deformation parameters. The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) grains appear while the temperature reaches 790 °C at a constant strain rate of 0.001 s^?1 and strain rate is not higher than 0.1 s^?1 at a constant temperature of 910 °C. The work-hardening rate θ is calculated and it is found that DRX prefers to happen at high temperature and low strain rate. The constitutive equation and processing map were obtained. The average activation energy of the alloy is 242.78 kJ/mol and there are few unstable regions on the processing map, which indicates excellent hot workability. At the strain rate of 0.1 s^?1, the stress?strain curves show an abnormal shape where there are two stress peaks simultaneously. This can be attributed to the alternation of hardening effect, which results from the continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) and the rotation of DRX grains, and dynamic softening mechanism.

Flow stress and dynamic recrystallization behavior of Al-9Mg-1.1Li-0.5Mn alloy during hot compression process

The flow stress behavior of spray-formed Al-9Mg-1.1Li-0.5Mn alloy was studied using thermal simulation tests on a Gleeble-3500 machine over deformation temperature range of 300-450 °C and strain rate of 0.01-10 s^?1. The microstructural evolution of the alloy during the hot compression process was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron back scatter diffractometry (EBSD). The results show that the flow stress behavior and microstructural evolution are sensitive to deformation parameters. The peak stress level, steady flow stress, dislocation density and amount of substructures of the alloy increase with decreasing deformation temperature and increasing strain rate. Conversely, the high angle grain boundary area increases, the grain boundary is in serrated shape and the dynamic recrystallization in the alloy occurs. The microstructure of the alloy is fibrous-like and the main softening mechanism is dynamic recovery during steady deformation state. The flow stress behavior can be represented by the Zener-Hollomon parameter Z in the hyperbolic sine equation with the hot deformation activation energy of 184.2538 kJ/mol. The constitutive equation and the hot processing map were established. The hot processing map exhibits that the optimum processing conditions for Al-9Mg-1.1Li-0.5Mn alloy are in deformation temperature range from 380 to 450 °C and strain rate range from 0.01 to 0.1 s^?1.

Constitutive modeling and dynamic softening mechanism during hot deformation of an ultra-pure 17%Cr ferritic stainless steel stabilized with Nb

The hot deformation behavior of an ultra-pure 17%Cr ferritic stainless steel was studied in the temperature range of 750–1000 °C and strain rates of 0.5 to 10 s^?1 using isothermal hot compression tests in a thermomechanical simulator. The microstructural evolution was investigated using electron backscattered diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. A modified constitutive equation considering the effect of strain on material constant was developed, which predicted the flow stress for the deformation conditions studied, except at 950 °C in 1 s^?1 and 900 °C in 10 s^?1. Decreasing deformation temperature and increasing strain was beneficial in refining the microstructure. Decreasing deformation temperature, the in-grain shear bands appeared in the microstructure. It is suggested that the dynamic softening mechanism is closely related to deformation temperature. At low deformation temperature, dynamic recovery was major softening mechanism and no dynamic recrystallization occurred. At high deformation temperature, dynamic softening was explained in terms of efficient dynamic recovery and limited continuous dynamic recrystallization. A drop in the flow stress was not found due to very small fraction of new grains nucleated during dynamic recrystallization.

To explore the hot compression behavior and microstructural evolution, fine-grained Al?1.88Mg?0.18Sc? 0.084Er (wt.%) aluminum alloy wires were fabricated with Castex (continuous casting?extrusion) and ECAP-Conform, and their hot compression behavior was investigated at temperatures of 673?793 K and strain rates of 0.001?10 s^?1; the microstructures were characterized by optical microscope, X-ray diffractometer, transmission electron microscope, and electron backscattered diffractometer, and the flow stresses were obtained by thermal compression simulator. Microstructural evolution and flow curves reveal that dynamic recovery is the dominant softening mechanism. Continuous dynamic recrystallization followed by dynamic grain growth takes place at a temperature of 773 K and a strain rate of 0.001 s^?1; the yielding drop phenomenon was discovered. Hyperbolic sine constitutive equation incorporating dislocation variables was presented, and a power law constitutive equation was established. The stress exponent is 3.262, and the activation energy for deformation is 154.465 kJ/mol, indicating that dislocation viscous glide is the dominant deformation mechanism.     

Flow curve correction and processing map of 2050 Al–Li alloy

Hot compression tests of 2050 Al–Li alloy were performed in the deformation temperature range of 340–500 °C and strain rate range of 0.001–10 s^–1 to investigate the hot deformation behavior of the alloy. The effects of friction and temperature difference on flow stress were analyzed and the flow curves were corrected. Based on the dynamic material model, processing map at a strain of 0.5 was established. The grain structure of the compressed samples was observed using optical microscopy. The results show that friction and temperature variation during the hot compression have significant influences on flow stress. The optimum processing domains are in the temperature range from 370 to 430 °C with the strain rate range from 0.01 to 0.001 s^–1, and in the temperature range from 440 to 500 °C with the strain rate range from 0.3 to 0.01 s^–1; the flow instable region is located at high strain rates (3–10 s^–1) in the entire temperature range. Dynamic recovery (DRV) and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) are the main deformation mechanisms of the 2050 alloy in the stable domains, whereas the alloy exhibits flow localization in the instable region.

The hot deformation behavior of IN690 superalloy was characterized in a temperature range of 1273-1473 K and a strain rate range of 0.01-10 s-1 using uniaxial compression tests on process annealed material.The constitutive relations between flow stress and effective strain,effective strain rate as well as deformation temperature were studied.It can be concluded that the flow stress significantly reduces with the deformation temperature of IN690 superalloy increasing.Whereas,there is a significant increase of flow stress when the strain rate increases from 0.1 s-1 to 10 s-1.Based on the hyperbolic-sine Arrhenius-type equation,a constitutive equation considering compensation of strain was developed.The activation energy and the material constants(Q,n and ln A) decrease as the deformation strain increases.The strain dependent term is successfully incorporated in the constitutive equation through a quartic equation.A good agreement between the experimental data and the predicted results has been achieved,indicating that the proposed constitutive equation and the methods of determing the material constants are suitable to model the high temperature deformation behavior of IN690 superalloy.     

Kinetics and critical conditions for initiation of dynamic recrystallization during hot compression deformation of AISI 321 austenitic stainless steel

Dynamic recrystallization behavior of AISI 321 austenitic stainless steel were studied using hot compression tests over the range of temperatures from 900 °C to 1200 °C and strain rates from 0.001 s^-1 to 1 s^-1. The critical strain and stress for initiation of dynamic recrystallization were determined by plotting strain hardening rate vs. stress curves and a constitutive equation describing the flow stress at strains lower than peak strain. Also, the strain at maximum flow softening was obtained and the effect of deformation conditions (Z parameter) on the critical strain and stress were analyzed. Finally, the volume fraction of dynamic recrystallization was calculated at different deformation conditions using these critical values. Results showed that the model used for predicting the kinetics of dynamic recrystallization has a great consistency with the data, in the form of θ-ε curves, directly acquired from experimental flow curves.

Constitutive equations of flow stress of magnesium AZ31 under dynamically recrystallizing conditions

Constitutive equations for the relationship between flow stress, strain, strain rate and temperature for magnesium AZ31 alloy under hot working conditions where dynamic recrystallization is prevalent have been developed. Equation development data were obtained using isothermal plane strain compression (PSC) tests carried out at 300–500 °C with strain rates ranging from 0.5 to 50 s⁻¹, to an equivalent strain of 0.7. The predicted flow stress curves show good comparison with the experimental isothermal flow curves in terms of peak, steady state stress and flow softening behaviour but at higher Zener–Hollomon (Z) values (>10¹¹ s⁻¹) the predicted peak stress deviates from the isothermal value in the range of 14–25 MPa suggesting a breakdown in the hyperbolic sine equation at those Z values. The developed constitutive equations for the valid thermomechanical conditions were adopted in a finite element model to simulate the PSC conditions. The distributions of strain, strain rate and temperature qualitatively suggest higher strain rate at the centre of the sample which agrees well with that of the quantitative analysis of the dynamically recrystallized grain size.
