The results show that the carbides play a significant role in the flow behavior and microstructure evolution during isothermal compression of M50 steel. The average apparent activation energy for deformation in isothermal compression of M50 steel is (281.1±42.6) kJ·mol^-1 at the strains of 0.4-0.8. The dynamic recrystallization of austenite grains occurs in isothermal compression of M50 steel at 1 363 K and 1 393 K, enhancing with the increase of strain rate and/or strain. The volume fraction of the carbides decreases with the increase of deformation temperature during isothermal compression of M50 steel and the fine carbides inhibit the dynamic recrystallization of austenite grain. With the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization, the austenite grains are refined, leading to a minor increase in the flow stress and apparent activation energy for deformation in isothermal compression of M50 steel. The austenite grains begin to coarsen at 1 423 K and dynamic recrystallization is limited. Hot working of M50 steel should not be performed above 1 393 K in order to achieve good workability.展开更多

An equation for crack growth rate was derived to consider the trend of stress intensity factor range going down to the threshold and the average stress effect. The probabilistic models were presented on the equation. They consist of the probabilistic da/dN-△K relations, the confidence-based da/dN-△K relations, and the probabilistic- and confidence-based da/dN-△K relations. Efforts were made respectively to characterize the effects of probabilistic assessments due to the scattering regularity of test data, the number of sampling, and both of them. These relations can provide wide selections for practice. Analysis on the test data of LZ50 steel indicates that the present models are available and feasible.展开更多
