The true ...Hot deformation behavior of as-cast Mn18Cr18 N austenitic stainless steel was studied in the temperature range of 950-1200 ℃ and strain rate range of 0.001-1 s^(-1) using isothermal hot compression tests. The true stress-strain curves of the steel were characterized by hardening and subsequent softening and varied with temperatures and strain rates. The hot deformation activation energy of the steel was calculated to be 657.4 k J/mol, which was higher than that of the corresponding wrought steel due to its as-cast coarse columnar grains and heterogeneous structure. Hot processing maps were developed at different plastic strains, which exhibited two domains with peak power dissipation efficiencies at 1150 ℃/0.001 s^(-1) and 1200 ℃/1 s^(-1), respectively. The corresponding microstructures were analyzed by optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD). It has been confirmed that dynamic recrystallization(DRX) controlled by dislocation slipping and climbing mechanism occurs in the temperature and strain rate range of 1050-1200 ℃ and 0.001-0.01 s^(-1); And DRX controlled by twinning mechanism occurs in the temperature and strain rate range of 1100-1200 ℃, 0.1-1 s^(-1). These two DRX domains can serve as the hot working windows of the as-cast steel at lower strain rates and at higher strain rates, respectively. The processing maps at different strains also exhibit that the instability region decreases with increasing strain. The corresponding microstructures and the less tensile ductility in the instability region imply that the flow instability is attributed to flow localization accelerated by a few layers of very fine recrystallized grains along the original grain boundaries.展开更多

The efficiency of energy dissipation η is taken as a function of temperature and strain rate to obtain a Processing Map. In the Processing Map of steel D2, there are two zones of cracking susceptivity with high dissipation efficiency η of 46 % and 63 % respectively. One zone is in the range of 900 ℃ to 980 ℃ and the strain rate range of 0.01 s -1 to 0.06 s -1 , and the other from 1 140 ℃ to 1 160 ℃ and 8 s -1 to 10 s -1 . The experiment proves that there are microstructural brittle transgranular fractures and macroscopic thermal cracks in the two zones respectively. The map also revealed that deformation in these two zones is of instable flowing , so these two zones should be avoided when choosing hot deformation conditions.展开更多

The plastic flow instability map is established based on Gegel B and Murthy instability criteria because the deformed compression samples suggest that the combination of the above two instability criteria has more comprehensive crack prediction ability. And the processing map based on Dynamic Mate- rial Model (DMM) of as-cast 7075 aluminum alloy has been developed through a superposition of the established instability map and power dissipation map. In terms of microstructure of the deformed samples and whether plastic flow is stable or not, the processing map can be divided into five areas: stable area with as-cast grain, stable area with homogeneous grain resulting from dynamic recovery, instability area with as-cast grain, instability area with the second phase and instability area with mixed grains. In consideration of microstructure characteristics in the above five areas of the processing map, the stable area with homogeneous grain resulting from dynamic recovery, namely the temperatures at 425465 ℃ and the strain rates at 0.01^-1 s^-1, is suggested to be suitable processing window for the as-cast 7075 aluminum alloy.展开更多

In this research, compression Gleeble tests have been carried out to investigate the stress-strain relationship at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000 ℃ and strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 1 s-1 for ATI 425 titanium alloy. Arrhenius type constitutive equation was obtained to describe the compressive flow behavior with modification of additional deformation dead zone, friction model, temperature model and strain rate. The introduction of novel calculation method for α value in Arrhenius equation gives more accurate fitting than traditional one. Processing maps were drawn based on the distribution of dissipator co-content, and optimized deformation temperature and strain rate range obtained. It is proven to be accurate and effective through the experimental results. The microstructure analysis shows that more dynamic recrystallization can be achieved in the area with larger ηvalue on the processing map.展开更多

The 3D power dissipation map was developed to evaluate the hot deformation mechanisms and determine the optimal processing parameters. Two domains of dynamic recrystallization were identified from the 3D power dissipation map, with one occurring in the temperature and strain rate range of 250–320 °C and 0.001–0.010 s–1and the other one occurring in the temperature and strain rate range of 380–400 °C and 0.001–0.003 s–1. In order to delineate the regions of flow instability, Prasad’s instability criterion, Murty’s instability criterion and Gegel’s stability criteria were employed to develop the 3D instability maps. Through microstructural examination, it is found that Prasad’s and Murty’s instability criteria are more effective than Gegel’s stability criteria in predicting the flow instability regions for extruded AZ80 alloy. Further, the 3D processing maps were integrated into finite element simulation and the predictions of the simulation are in good agreement with the experimental results.展开更多

The dominant precipitated phase in the aged alloy was identified as topologically close-packed (TCP) # phase enriched in Mo and Ni. The precipitates present in the UNS N10276 alloy could significantly facilitate flow softening after peak stress at temperatures lower than 1150 ℃ and strain rates higher than 0.01 s-1. Processing maps at true strains of 0.1-0.9 were developed using the dynamic materials model and experimental flow stress data. Although aging treatment slightly shrank the suitable hot working window of this alloy, the aged alloy showed higher peak efficiencies of power dissipation and smaller unstable regions in comparison with solution-treated alloy. Furthermore, aging treatment eliminated the instability region of processing maps at true strains of 0.2-0.5. The precipitated phase promoted dynamic recrystallization (DRX) by the particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN) mechanism, which resulted in the larger fraction of DRX as well as finer and more uniform grain structure in the aged alloy specimens compared to the solution-treated alloy.展开更多

Considerable flow softening associated with superplasticity was observed at strain rates of 0.01 s 1 or lower. According to the processing map and observations of the microstructure, the uniform fine-grained microstructure remains intact at 1100℃ or lower because of easily activated dynamic recrystallization (DRX), whereas obvious grain growth is observed at 1130℃. Metal- lurgical instabilities in the form of non-uniform microstrucmres under higher and lower Zener-Hollomon parameters are induced by local plastic flow and primary γ' local faster dissolution, respectively. The optimum processing conditions at all of the investigated strains are pro- posed as 1090-1130℃ with 0.084).5 s-1 and 0.0054).008 s-1 and 1040-1085℃ with 0.0054).06 s-1.

文摘Mg-4Zn-1RE-0.5Zr (ZE41) Mg alloy is extensively used in the aerospace and automobile industries.In order to improve the applicability and performance,this alloy was engineered with in-situ Ti B2reinforcement to form Ti B2/ZE41 composite.The high temperature deformation behavior and manufacturability of the newly developed Ti B2/ZE41 composite and the parent ZE41 Mg alloy were studied via establishing constitutive modeling of flow stress,deformation activation energy and processing map over a temperature range of 250℃-450℃ and strain rate range of 0.001 s-1-10 s-1.The predicted flow stress behavior of both materials were found to be well consistent with the experimental values.A significant improvement in activation energy was found in Ti B2/ZE41 composite (171.54 k J/mol) as compared to the ZE41 alloy (148.15 k J/mol) due to the dispersed strengthening of in-situ Ti B2particles.The processing maps were developed via dynamic material modeling.A wider workability domain and higher peak efficiency (45%) were observed in Ti B2/ZE41 composite as compared to ZE41 alloy (41%).The Dynamic recrystallization is found to be the dominating deformation mechanism for both materials;however,particle stimulated nucleation was found to be an additional mode of deformation in Ti B2/ZE41 composite.The twinning and stress induced cracks were observed in both the materials at low temperature and high strain rate.A narrow range of instability zone is found in the present Ti B2/ZE41 composite among the existing published literature on Mg based composites.The detailed microstructural characterization was carried out in both workability and instability domains to establish the governing deformation mechanisms.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of Al-Cu-Mg-Ag was studied by isothermal hot compression tests in the temperature range of 573-773 K and strain rate range of 0.001-1 s^-1 on a Gleeble 1500 D thermal mechanical simulator. The results show the flow stress of Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy increases with strain rate and decreases after a peak value, indicating dynamic recovery and recrystallization. A hyperbolic sine relationship is found to correlate well the flow stress with the strain rate and temperature, the flow stress equation is estimated to illustrate the relation of strain rate and stress and temperature during high temperature deformation process. The processing maps exhibit two domains as optimum fields for hot deformation at different strains, including the high strain rate domain in 623-773 K and the low strain rate domain in 573-673 K.

文摘Hot deformation behavior of as-cast Mn18Cr18 N austenitic stainless steel was studied in the temperature range of 950-1200 ℃ and strain rate range of 0.001-1 s^(-1) using isothermal hot compression tests. The true stress-strain curves of the steel were characterized by hardening and subsequent softening and varied with temperatures and strain rates. The hot deformation activation energy of the steel was calculated to be 657.4 k J/mol, which was higher than that of the corresponding wrought steel due to its as-cast coarse columnar grains and heterogeneous structure. Hot processing maps were developed at different plastic strains, which exhibited two domains with peak power dissipation efficiencies at 1150 ℃/0.001 s^(-1) and 1200 ℃/1 s^(-1), respectively. The corresponding microstructures were analyzed by optical microscopy(OM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD). It has been confirmed that dynamic recrystallization(DRX) controlled by dislocation slipping and climbing mechanism occurs in the temperature and strain rate range of 1050-1200 ℃ and 0.001-0.01 s^(-1); And DRX controlled by twinning mechanism occurs in the temperature and strain rate range of 1100-1200 ℃, 0.1-1 s^(-1). These two DRX domains can serve as the hot working windows of the as-cast steel at lower strain rates and at higher strain rates, respectively. The processing maps at different strains also exhibit that the instability region decreases with increasing strain. The corresponding microstructures and the less tensile ductility in the instability region imply that the flow instability is attributed to flow localization accelerated by a few layers of very fine recrystallized grains along the original grain boundaries.
文摘The hot deformation behaviors of steel D2 in the range of 900 ℃ to 1 160 ℃ and strain rate range of 0.01 s -1 to 10 s -1 have been studied by using Processing Map developed on the basis of dynamic materials model. The efficiency of energy dissipation η is taken as a function of temperature and strain rate to obtain a Processing Map. In the Processing Map of steel D2, there are two zones of cracking susceptivity with high dissipation efficiency η of 46 % and 63 % respectively. One zone is in the range of 900 ℃ to 980 ℃ and the strain rate range of 0.01 s -1 to 0.06 s -1 , and the other from 1 140 ℃ to 1 160 ℃ and 8 s -1 to 10 s -1 . The experiment proves that there are microstructural brittle transgranular fractures and macroscopic thermal cracks in the two zones respectively. The map also revealed that deformation in these two zones is of instable flowing , so these two zones should be avoided when choosing hot deformation conditions.

文摘In order to determine the safe region of 42CrMo4 steel during hot working and obtain excellent workability,the hot deformation behavior at the temperatures of 850-1150℃and the strain rates of 0.01-10 s^(-1)was investigated through single-pass compression test of thermo-simulation.Through observing and analyzing the true stress-strain curves,the conclusion may be drawn that the flow stress value increases with the decrease in deformation temperature and the increase in strain rate.Raising temperature and reducing strain rate are conductive to dynamic recrystallization(DRX)nucleating and growing,but adiabatic heating caused by higher strain rate can also promote it.Since the Zener-Hollomon(Z)value and dynamic recrystallized grain size(D_(DRX))have completely opposite trends with deformation condition parameters,the expression of Z value and DDRX can be determined as:D_(DRx)=15,567.645Z^(-02174).The processing map and instability map constructed at a strain of 0.9 show that the suitable window for hot working with a true strain of 0.9 is in the temperature range of 970-1150℃and strain rate range of 0.01-0.25 s^(-1),as well as at the temperature of 1150℃ and strain rate range of 0.25-10 s^(-1).The instability phenomenon appears in the process interval of 850-1096℃ and 0.22-10 s^(-1).

文摘The thermal deformation behavior of a novel CrFeNiSi_(0.15)medium entropy alloy(MEA)was studied via isothermal compression experiments,with the processing parameter range of 900–1200℃and 0.001–1 s^(−1).According to experimental data,the modified constitutive equation had been obtained,which precisely predicted the flow behavior of CrFeNiSi_(0.15)MEA during thermal deformation.At the same time,the processing map was established on the basis of the dynamic material model(DMM)theory.According to the map,the optimal processing parameters were determined at 1130–1200℃/0.06–1 s−1,under which the power dissipation efficiency could reach above 34%.The peak efficiency was above 38%,which occurred at 1200℃/1 s^(−1).In such parameter,complete dynamic recrystallization(DRX)also occurred.The flow instability of CrFeNiSi_(0.15)MEA was estimated to occur at 900–985℃/0.12–1 s^(−1),which was shown as grain boundaries cracking.Furthermore,both the continuous DRX(CDRX)and discontinuous DRX(DDRX)occurred simultaneously during thermal deformation.Meanwhile,some twins were also newly formed during DRX process,most of which were primary twins.The occurrence of twinning was beneficial to promote the development of DRX behavior.

文摘The true stress-strain curves of as-cast 7075 aluminum alloy have been obtained by isothermal compression tests at temperatures of 300 500 ~C and strain rates of 0.01 10 s i. The plastic flow instability map is established based on Gegel B and Murthy instability criteria because the deformed compression samples suggest that the combination of the above two instability criteria has more comprehensive crack prediction ability. And the processing map based on Dynamic Mate- rial Model (DMM) of as-cast 7075 aluminum alloy has been developed through a superposition of the established instability map and power dissipation map. In terms of microstructure of the deformed samples and whether plastic flow is stable or not, the processing map can be divided into five areas: stable area with as-cast grain, stable area with homogeneous grain resulting from dynamic recovery, instability area with as-cast grain, instability area with the second phase and instability area with mixed grains. In consideration of microstructure characteristics in the above five areas of the processing map, the stable area with homogeneous grain resulting from dynamic recovery, namely the temperatures at 425465 ℃ and the strain rates at 0.01^-1 s^-1, is suggested to be suitable processing window for the as-cast 7075 aluminum alloy.
文摘Flow behavior and processing map play important roles in the hot deformation process of titanium alloys. In this research, compression Gleeble tests have been carried out to investigate the stress-strain relationship at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000 ℃ and strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 1 s-1 for ATI 425 titanium alloy. Arrhenius type constitutive equation was obtained to describe the compressive flow behavior with modification of additional deformation dead zone, friction model, temperature model and strain rate. The introduction of novel calculation method for α value in Arrhenius equation gives more accurate fitting than traditional one. Processing maps were drawn based on the distribution of dissipator co-content, and optimized deformation temperature and strain rate range obtained. It is proven to be accurate and effective through the experimental results. The microstructure analysis shows that more dynamic recrystallization can be achieved in the area with larger ηvalue on the processing map.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of extruded AZ80 magnesium alloy was investigated using compression tests in the temperature range of 250–400 °C and strain rate range of 0.001–1.000 s–1. The 3D power dissipation map was developed to evaluate the hot deformation mechanisms and determine the optimal processing parameters. Two domains of dynamic recrystallization were identified from the 3D power dissipation map, with one occurring in the temperature and strain rate range of 250–320 °C and 0.001–0.010 s–1and the other one occurring in the temperature and strain rate range of 380–400 °C and 0.001–0.003 s–1. In order to delineate the regions of flow instability, Prasad’s instability criterion, Murty’s instability criterion and Gegel’s stability criteria were employed to develop the 3D instability maps. Through microstructural examination, it is found that Prasad’s and Murty’s instability criteria are more effective than Gegel’s stability criteria in predicting the flow instability regions for extruded AZ80 alloy. Further, the 3D processing maps were integrated into finite element simulation and the predictions of the simulation are in good agreement with the experimental results.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of Ti22A125 Nb was investigated by hot compression test.The flow stressstrain curves can be divided into two types:conventional dynamic recrystallization(DRX) and discontinuous DRX.The different softening mechanism and micro structure observation of conventional DRX and discontinuous DRX were analyzed.The processing map(PM) of Ti22A125 Nb was built to predict the safe deformation region.The optimal low strain rate domain(DOM I) with high power dissipation efficiency indicates the complete DRX.Additionally,in the high strain rate and low-temperature domain(DOM Ⅲ),the power dissipation efficiency is low and some adiabatic shear bands and glide bands are observed,which are unsafe and should be avoided.Finally,the DRX map was established.In DOM I,it reveals low dislocation density and high DRX content,which is in agreement with PM.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of a low-alloy offshore steel was systematically investigated within the temperature range of 850-1150℃ and strain rate range of 0.01-10 s^(-1),via hot compression testing.The hot working equation,grain size model and recrystallization kinetic models of the steel were developed by fitting the experimental data.The results show that the decrease in Zener-Hollomon Z-parameter value(the increase in deformation temperature and the decrease in strain rate)is beneficial for the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization,and the grain size can be refined by increasing the Z-parameter value within the deformation range of dynamic recrystallization.However,when the Z-parameter value is higher than 3.43×10^(16),dynamic recrystallization will be difficult to occur within the range of experimental deformation conditions.Additionally,processing maps at different strains were constructed.According to the processing map and microstructural analysis,the optimal hot working conditions of the studied steel are within the temperature range of 1000-1100℃ and strain rate range of 0.1-1 s^(−1),and a complete recrystallization microstructure with fine homogeneous grains could be obtained.

文摘The hot deformation characteristics and processing maps of aged nickel-base UNS N10276 alloy were inves- tigated and compared with those of solution-treated UNS N10276 alloy at temperatures of 950-1250 ℃ and strain rates between 0.01 and 10 s-1. The dominant precipitated phase in the aged alloy was identified as topologically close-packed (TCP) # phase enriched in Mo and Ni. The precipitates present in the UNS N10276 alloy could significantly facilitate flow softening after peak stress at temperatures lower than 1150 ℃ and strain rates higher than 0.01 s-1. Processing maps at true strains of 0.1-0.9 were developed using the dynamic materials model and experimental flow stress data. Although aging treatment slightly shrank the suitable hot working window of this alloy, the aged alloy showed higher peak efficiencies of power dissipation and smaller unstable regions in comparison with solution-treated alloy. Furthermore, aging treatment eliminated the instability region of processing maps at true strains of 0.2-0.5. The precipitated phase promoted dynamic recrystallization (DRX) by the particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN) mechanism, which resulted in the larger fraction of DRX as well as finer and more uniform grain structure in the aged alloy specimens compared to the solution-treated alloy.

文摘Isothermal compression tests of as-forged 30Si2MnCrMoVE low-alloying ultra-high-strength steel were carried out on a Gleeble 3500 thermal simulator at the deformation temperatures of 950-1150℃and strain rates of 0.01-10 s^−1.Based on the classical stress-dislocation density relationship and the kinematics of the dynamic recrystallization,the constitutive equations of the work hardening dynamical recovery period and dynamical recrystallization period were developed by using the work hardening curve and Avrami equation,which shows good agreement with the experimental value.Processing maps at the strain of 0.90 were constructed based on dynamic material model and were analyzed combined with microstructure observation under different conditions.The optimum parameter based on the processing maps was obtained and verified by a supplementary experiment.The power dissipation maps and instability maps at strains of 0.05-0.90 were also constructed,and the evolution law was analyzed in detail.The established constitutive equation and hot processing maps can provide some guidance for hot working process.
