Abstract: | The prediction of microstructure evolution plays an important role in the design of forging process. In the present work,
the cellular automaton (CA) program was developed to simulate the process of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) for aluminium
alloy 7050. The material constants in CA models, including dislocation density, nucleation rate and grain growth, were determined
by the isothermal compress tests on Gleeble 1500 machine. The model of dislocation density was obtained by linear regression
method based on the experimental results. The influences of the deformation parameters on the percentage of DRX and the mean
grain size for aluminium alloy 7050 were investigated in details by means of CA simulation. The simulation results show that,
as temperature increases from 350 to 450 °C at a strain rate of 0.01 s−1, the percentage of DRX also increases greatly and the mean grain size decreases from 50 to 39.3 μm. The mean size of the
recrystallied grains (R-grains) mainly depends on the Zener-Hollomon parameter. To obtain fine grain, the desired deformation
temperature is determined from 400 to 450 °C.
