The effects of processing parameters on morphology, grain size and contents of a and b phases were discussed based on the quantitative microstructure examination, and the detailed explanation was shown. The results show that b transformed matrix will obviously grow up at higher deformation temperature or lower strain rate because of low grain growth activation energies. The content of a phase will decrease at higher deformation temperature or higher strain rate due to the phase transformation. Some elongated a or b grains exist at higher strain rate, implying that the dominant softening mechanism is dynamic recovery. The effect of height reduction on b transformed matrix is negligible, but the height reduction has some effects on the morphology of primary a phase.展开更多
