Compared with the existing process, the new ring casting-rolling compound forming process has significant advantages in saving materials and energy, reducing emission and reducing the production cost. The microstructure evolution of the casting materials during hot deformation is the basis of the research of the new process. However, the researches on the casting materials are rare. The metadynamic recrystallization of the as-cast 42CrMo steel after normalizing and tempering during the hot compression is investigated. The tests are performed on the Gleeble-1500 thermal-mechanical simulator. The influence rule of the deformation parameters on the metadynamic recrystallization is obtained by analyzing the experimental data. The kinetic model of the rnetadynamic recrystallization is deduced. The analysis results show that the metadynamic recrystallization fraction increases with the increase of the deformation temperature and the strain rate. The metallographic experiments are used to investigate the influence rule of the deformation parameters on the grain size of the metadynamic recrystallization. The experimental results show that the grain of the metadynamic recrystallization could be refined with the increase of the strain rate and the decrease of the deformation temperature during hot compression. The occurrence of the metadynamic recrystallization during the hot deformation is more difficult in as-cast 42CrMo steel than in forged 42CrMo steel. The research can provide the foundation for the further research of the hot deformation behaviors of the as-cast structure and theoretical support for the new ring casting-rolling compound process.展开更多

The hot deforming tests of 35CrMo steel have been done on the Gleeble-1500 testing machine with the deformation temperature at the range of 900癈-1250癈, a strain strain of 0.05 s-1, 0.5 s-1, 1.0 s-1 and compress degree of 15%-80%. Through respectively analyzing and studying the microstructure of the specimen and getting the data from the testing, the results obtained are as follows: the model of flow stress and the stress-strain relationship of material hot deformation, the model of dynamic and static re-crystallization and the correlative references of hot forming parameters and changes of microstructure. The hot deforming stress-strain curses and relevantly re-crystallized micro-structure of 35CrMo steel are drawn at the deformation temperature of 1250 and the strain rate of 1.0 s. Through analyzing and regressive calculating the grain size of the deformation specimen of 35CrMo steel at different locations under the large-deformation and high-temperature conditions, the hot-deforming model of grain calculation is verified. The experimental results and the model of grain calculation can provide scientific basis for analyzing the hot deformation processes and controlling quality.展开更多

However, currently solutions used di erent models for describing two?dimensional(2 D) and three?dimensional(3 D) grain size distributions. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more universal simulation technique. A cellular automaton(CA) model combined with an optimized topology deformation technology is proposed to simulate the microstructural evolution of 42 CrMo cast steel during DRX. In order to obtain values of material constants adopted in the CA model, hot deformation characteristics of 42 CrMo cast steel are investigated by hot compression metal?lographic testing. The proposed CA model deviates in two important aspects from the regular CA model. First, an optimized grain topology deformation technology is utilized for studying the hot compression e ect on the topology of grain deformation. Second, the overlapping grain topological structures are optimized by using an independent component analysis method, and the influence of various thermomechanical parameters on the nucleation process, grain growth kinetics, and mean grain sizes observed during DRX are explored. Experimental study shows that the average relative root mean square error(RRMSE) of the mean grain diameter obtained by the regular CA model is equal to 0.173, while the magnitude calculated using the proposed optimized CA model is only 0.11. This paper pro?poses a novel combined CA model for simulating the microstructural evolution of 42 CrMo cast steel, which notably uses a ICA?based grain topology deformation method to optimize the overlapping grain topological structures in simulation.展开更多
