Effects of holding time and Zener-Hollomon parameters on deformation behavior of cast Mg-8Gd-3Y alloy during double-pass hot compression

Double-pass hot compression tests were carried out over a wide range of holding time (0–180?s) and Zener-Hollomon parameter (1.6E15–1.3E20) to study the deformation behavior of cast Mg-8Gd-3Y alloy. The flow curves show obvious work hardening and strain softening stages, leading to the peak stress of double-pass hot compression. Holding time and Zener-Hollomon parameter can significantly affect the second pass peak stress. It is found that increasing the holding time can cause a higher peak stress in the second pass deformation. The second pass stress reaches the peak stress of 71?MPa at Zener-Hollomom parameter of 1.6E15. When the parameter rises to 1.3E20, the second pass peak goes up to 237?MPa. In addition, the second pass peak stress is significantly higher than the unloading stress, which is opposite to the flow behavior of aluminum alloys. Residual stored deformation energy caused by the first pass deformation could be consumed by metadynamic recrystallization. Therefore, more strain energy is required for subsequent dynamic recrystallization, resulting in hardening behavior. A hardening fraction is defined to describe the deformation behavior quantitatively, which shows a positive correlation with the metadynamic recrystallization fraction. The metadynamic recrystallization leads to grain growth at the inter pass holding stage, diminishing dynamic recrystallization nucleation positions in the second pass deformation.     

Deformation behavior and microstructure evolution in multistage hot working of TA15 titanium alloy: on the role of recrystallization

Interrupted compression tests of TA15 titanium alloy with initially equiaxed microstructure were carried out at deformation temperatures between 1173 to 1273 K and strain rates between 0.001 to 0.1 s⁻¹ to investigate the deformation behavior and microstructure evolution under multistage deformation. The TA15 alloy exhibits significant flow softening in both β and (α + β) working. It is found that the flow softening relates to dynamic recrystallization of β phases under current experimental conditions. In multistage β working, metadynamic recrystallization is the main softening mechanism during inter-pass holding. The grain refinement by metadynamic recrystallization leads to the decrease in peak stress upon reloading. In multistage (α + β) working, static recrystallization is the main softening mechanism during inter-pass holding. The static recrystallization kinetics increases with temperature and strain rate. The inter-pass holding has little influence on the morphology of the primary α phases. The β grain size is determined by spacing of primary α phases, which is more affected by working temperature but less dependent on strain rate and inter-pass holding time.     

Analysis of work hardening and recrystallization during the hot working of steel using a statistically based internal variable model

A mathematical model has been developed which describes the hot deformation and recrystallization behavior of austenite using a single internal variable: dislocation density. The dislocation density is incorporated into equations describing the rate of recovery and recrystallization. In each case no distinction is made between static and dynamic events, and the model is able to simulate multideformation processes. The model is statistically based and tracks individual populations of the dislocation density during the work-hardening and softening phases. After tuning using available data the model gave an accurate prediction of the stress–strain behavior and the static recrystallization kinetics for C–Mn steels. The model correctly predicted the sensitivity of the post deformation recrystallization behavior to process variables such as strain, strain rate and temperature, even though data for this were not explicitly incorporated in the tuning data set. In particular, the post dynamic recrystallization (generally termed metadynamic recrystallization) was shown to be largely independent of strain and temperature, but a strong function of strain rate, as observed in published experimental work.

Metadynamic recrystallization in C steels

Metadynamic recrystallization has been investigated in three plain carbon steels (ENIA, EN2 and EN24) through the use of hot interrupted compression tests on a wedge plastometer. Holding time was 0.5 s between passes. Strain rates of 0.05 and 0.12/s and small strain increments of 3, 5 and 7% were employed. Test temperatures were varied between 800 and 1100°C. Various incremental and continuous stress strain curves were highlighted at different temperatures and strain rates for 3 steels, ENIA, EN2 and EN24, resulting in varying flow stresses and strains. Highest peak stress was 180 MPa for EN24 at peak strain of 0.25 and 900°C, with a strain rate 0.12/s. Peak strain values for all steels at 1100°C was 0.133 at a strain rate of 0.05/s and 0.15 at a strain rate of 0.12/s. Strain accumulation resulted in dynamic and metadynamic recrystallization with refinement to about 15 μm for dynamic and 22 μm for metadynamic recrystallization. Fractional softening,X, decreased from 0.27 to 0.12 as recrystallization times in metadynamic recrystallization increased from 0.9 s to 1.5 s at 1100°C. Time for 50% metadynamic recrystallization was also reduced as temperature increased. For ENIA, a drop from 10000 s to 20 s, as temperature increased from 800 to 1100°C was observed. For EN24 and EN2 steels, a drop from 4000 s to 6 s for similar temperature rise was observed. Metadynamic recrystallization (at strains higher than critical strain) is observed to be a strong function of strain rate and a very weak function of temperature and strain. It significantly refined the austenite grain size prior to transformation.

Metadynamic recrystallization of 300M steel after isothermal compression

Isothermal compression tests of 300M steel were performed on a Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator at deformation temperatures ranging from 1173 to 1373 K, strain rates ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 s^?1, and a strain of 0.69. Metadynamic recrystallization and grain growth after complete metadynamic recrystallization were investigated by isothermal compression with different inter-pass times. It was found that the inter-pass time, deformation temperature and strain rate markedly affected the austenite grains size of metadynamic recrystallization. The austenite grain size model and grain growth model of metadynamic recrystallization were determined based on the results of quantitative grain size. A good agreement between the predicted and measured austenite grain size and grain growth of metadynamic recrystallization was obtained, and the present models were effective to predict the austenite grain size and grain growth of metadynamic recrystallization in the isothermal compression of 300M steel.     

Prediction of metadynamic softening in a multi-pass hot deformed low alloy steel using artificial neural network

The metadynamic softening behaviors in 42CrMo steel were investigated by isothermal interrupted hot compression tests. Based on the experimental results, an efficient artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the flow stress and metadynamic softening fractions. The effects of deformation parameters on metadynamic softening behaviors in the hot deformed 42CrMo steel have been investigated by the experimental and predicted results from the developed ANN model. Results show that the effects of deformation parameters, such as strain rate and deformation temperature, on the softening fractions of metadynamic recrystallization are significant. However, the strain (beyond the peak strain) has little influence. A very good correlation between experimental and predicted results indicates that the excellent capability of the developed ANN model to predict the flow stress level and metadynamic softening, the metadynamic recrystallization behaviors were well evidenced.     

Effect of Delay Time on Microstructural Evolution during Warm Rolling of Ti-Nb-IF Steel

The effect of delay time with constant first finishing pass temperature (800℃) has been investigated by means of multi-pass torsion tests on Ti-Nb-IF steel. All the tests have been carried out at a strain rate of 2 s-1 with 11 passes and 0.3 strain each pass. During the final pass, dynamic recrystallization occurs to a degree that depends on the delay time. In short interpass time (1 s) and at these temperatures (T≤800℃) there is not enough time to start static recrystallization, therefore, accumulation of strain occurs and after some passes, strain reaches a critical strain for starting dynamic recrystallization. In this study, the changes of mean flow stress during each pass and also the microstructural observation confirms that dynamic recrystallization occurs after some passes in ferrite phase of this steel. The stress-strain curves with constant temperature obtained by using a kinetic model and compensation of the increasing mean flow stress with decreasing temperature. Thus, this result also co

Metadynamic recrystallization behavior of AZ61 magnesium alloy

Metadynamic recrystallization (MDRX) behavior of AZ61 magnesium alloy and its effects on flow behavior and microstructure evolution have been investigated in this study. Towards this end, a set of double-hit hot compression tests was conducted under strain rate of 0.1 s⁻¹ at 400 °C. To differentiate the static and metadynamic recrystallization dominant strain regions, the first stage of deformation was carried out up to the different pre-strains with a constant inter-pass annealing time of 200 s. The results indicated that the MDRX is predominant recrystallization mechanism where the pre-strains are higher than 0.35. Furthermore, to investigate the influence of MDRX on subsequent flow behavior and the related microstructure, an elaborated inter-pass annealing treatment was executed employing a range of inter-pass annealing time (2–500 s). The results show that the progress of MDRX leads to an increase in the flow stress as well as the rate of work hardening encountered in the subsequent deformation. Additionally, the microstructural examinations confirm that the observed hardening phenomenon is a consequence of grain growth evolved from MDRX and its direct effect on the onset of dynamic recrystallization at the second stage of deformation.

Effect of multipeak dynamic recrystallisation on structure of deformed and annealed copper

Abstract

Compression tests were carried out on fine grained copper at 870 K and at a constant true strain rate of 1·4×10^?3 s^?1. Under these conditions, well defined flow stress oscillations followed by steady state flow stress are obtained. Grain size measurements of as deformed material revealed non-monotonic grain coarsening when stress oscillations appear. It was found that grain coarsening is most effective when the flow stress decreases after the first flow stress peak. Periodic flow stress is accompanied by periodic grain coarsening until the latter becomes practically independent of strain when the steady state flow stress region is attained. The structural effects of static processes (recovery and recrystallisation) in dynamically recrystallised material were examined closely. According to the model of periodic dynamic recrystallisation, one would expect periodic changes of the driving force for static restoration processes (mainly metadynamic and/or static recrystallisation). From the present work, conclusions are drawn that are contrary to this concept of structural softening. The critical strain leading to grain coarsening during post-deformation annealing of hot deformed copper was found to be significantly less than the strain corresponding to the first flow stress peak. For higher strains, the grain size of dynamically recrystallised copper was found to be highly stable during annealing for 7 h at 870 K.

Dynamic Recrystallization and Precipitation Behavior of Mn-Cu-V Weathering Steel

The hot deformation behavior of a Mn-Cu-V weathering steel was investigated at temperatures ranging from 850 to 1050℃ and strain rates ranging from 0.01 to 5 s-1 using MMS-300 thermal-mechanical simulator. The activation energy for dynamic recrystallization and stress exponent were calculated to be 551 kJ/mol and 7.73, respectively. The accurate values of critical strain were determined by the relationship between work hardening rate and flow stress (θ-σ) curves. The hyperbolic sine constitutive equation was employed to describe the relationship between the peak stress and Zener-Hollomon parameter during hot deformation. The interaction between dynamic recrystallization and dynamic precipitation of V(C,N) at a low strain rate was analyzed. The results showed that precipitation particles size of weathering steel increased with increasing strain at deformation temperature 950℃ and strain rate 0.1 s-1. The calculation results of the recrystallization driving force and pinning force showed that dynamic precipitation could retard the progress of dynamic recrystallization but not prevent it while the pinning forces is less than driving force. On the contrary, dynamic precipitation can effectively prevent the progress of dynamic recrystallization.     

Dynamic and metadynamic recrystallization of Hastelloy X superalloy

Hot compression tests in the temperature range of 900–1150 °C and strain rates varying between 0.001 and 0.5 s⁻¹ were performed on Hastelloy X superalloy in order to investigate the kinetics of hot deformation. An Arrhenius-type equation was used to characterize the dependence of the flow stress on deformation temperature and strain rate. The results showed that dynamic recrystallization (DRX) as well as metadynamic recrystallization (MDRX) occurred during hot working. A novel technique has been developed for calculating the DRX kinetics parameters on the basis of the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) and isothermal transformation rate equations. The variation of grain size in the DRX and MDRX regimes correlated with the standard Zener–Hollomon parameter.     

Recrystallization of 30Cr2Ni4MoV ultra-super-critical rotor steel during hot deformation. Part I: Dynamic recrystallization

This paper presents an investigation that characterizes the evolution of the dynamically recrystallized structure of 30Cr2Ni4MoV ultra-super-critical rotor steel during hot deformation, as a starting point for studies of the static recrystallization (SRX) and the metadynamic recrystallization (MDRX) behaviors, by hot compression tests which are performed at the temperatures from 1243 K to 1543 K and strain rates from 0.001 s⁻¹ to 0.1 s⁻¹ on Gleeble-3500 thermo-mechanical simulator, and the corresponding flow curves are obtained. A third-order polynomial is then fitted to the work hardening region of each curve. The critical stress for initiation of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) can be calculated by setting the second derivative of the third order polynomial. By regression analysis, the activation energy in whole range of deformation temperature is determined to be Q = 368.45 kJ/mol. The complete DRX grain size (D_drx) of the test steel is a function of Zener-Hollomon parameter (Z) and is independent of the true strain. The relationship of D_drx and Z is found to be described in a form of power law function with an exponent of −0.24.
