Four representative instability maps based on Gegel, AlexanderMalas(A-M), Kumar-Prasad(K-P) and Murty-Rao(M-R) criteria were constructed. Through formula deduction and microstructural observation, it can be concluded that M-R criterion is more accurate than K-P criterion, and the first two criteria are better than Gegel and A-M criteria. From a power dissipation map and a M-R instability map, the optimized processing parameters are 480–500℃/0.001–0.1 s^-1 and 420–480℃/0.1-1 s^-1. The corresponding microstructural analysis shows that dynamic recovery and partial dynamic recrystallization are main dynamic softening mechanisms. Transmission electron microscopy observation indicated that a large number of primary coarse T1(Al2 Cu Li) particles precipitated in the homogenized specimen. After deformation at 500℃, most of the primary T1 particles dissolved back into the matrix, and secondary fine T1 particles precipitated at deformation-induced dislocations, high angle grain boundaries and other dispersed particles.展开更多

文摘Hot deformation behavior of a high Al-low Si transformation-induced plasticity（TRIP） steel was studied by an MMS-300 thermo-simulation machine at the temperature range of 1050–1200℃ and strain rate range of 0.01–10s^（-1）. The constitutive equations of the TRIP steel were established at high temperature by fitting the strain factor with a sixth-order polynomial. The instability during hot rolling was discussed using processing maps. The results reveal that two types of flow stress curves（dynamic recrystallization and dynamic recovery） were observed during the hot compression of the high Al-low Si TRIP steel. Flow stress decreased with increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate. The predicted flow stress of experimental TRIP steel is in agreement with the experimental values with an average absolute relative error of 4.49% and a coefficient of determination of 0.9952. According to the obtained processing maps, the TRIP steel exhibits a better workability at strain rate of 0.1s^（-1） and deformation temperature of 1200℃ as compared to other deformation conditions.

文摘The isothermally compression deformation behavior of an elevated Cu/Li weight ratio Al–Cu–Li alloy was investigated under various deformation conditions.The isothermal compression tests were carried out in a temperature range from 300 to 500℃ and at a strain rate range from 0.001 to 10 s^-1.The results show that the peak stress level decreases with temperature increasing and strain rate decreasing,which is represented by the Zener–Hollomon parameter Z in the hyperbolic sine equation with the hot deformation activation energy of 218.5 k J/mol.At low Z value,the dynamic recrystallized grain is well formed with clean high-angle boundaries.At high Z value,a high dislocation density with poorly developed cellularity and considerable fine dynamic precipitates are observed.Based on the experimental data and dynamic material model,the processing maps at strain of 0.3,0.5 and 0.7 were developed to demonstrate the hot workability of the alloy.The results show that the main softening mechanism at high Z value is precipitate coarsening and dynamic recovery;the dynamic recrystallization of the alloy can be easily observed as ln Z ≤ 29.44,with peak efficiency of power dissipation of around 70%.At strains of 0.3,0.5 and 0.7,the flow instability domains are found at higher strain rates,which mainly locate at the upper part of processing maps.In addition,when the strain rate is 0.001 or 0.02 s^-1,there is a particular instability domain at 300–350℃.
文摘The hot working behavior of Mg-Gd-Y-Nb-Zr alloy was investigated using constitutive model and hot processing maps in this work. Isothermal compression tests were conducted with temperature and strain rate range of 703-773 K and 0.01-5 s^（-1）, respectively. Improved Arrhenius-type equation incorporated with strain compensations was used to predict flow behavior of the alloy, and the predictability was evaluated using correlation coefficient, root mean square error and absolute relative error. Processing maps were constructed at different strains for Mg-Gd-Y-Nb-Zr alloy based on dynamic materials model.The processing maps are divided into three domains and the corresponding microstructure evolutions are referred to the forming of straight grain boundaries, twinning, dynamic recrystallization and grain growth. Instability occurred mainly at the strain rate range of 0.3s^（-1）-0.5s^（-1）. The optimum processing domain is mainly at the temperature range of 703-765 K with the strain rate range of 0.01-0.1 s^（-1）.

文摘Isothermal compression testing of Ti555211 titanium alloys was carried out at deformation temperatures from 750 to 950 °C in 50 °C intervals with a strain rate of0.001-1.000 s^（-1）. The high-temperature deformation behavior of the Ti555211 alloy was characterized by analysis of stress-strain behavior, kinetics and processing maps. A constitutive equation was formulated to describe the flow stress as a function of deformation temperature and strain rate, and the calculated apparent activation energies are found to be 454.50 and 207.52 k J mol^（-1）in the a b-phase and b-phase regions, respectively. A processing map based on the Murty instability criterion was developed at a strain of 0.7. The maps exhibit two domains of peak efficiency from 750 to 950 °C. A ＊60 % peak efficiency occurs at 800-850 °C/0.001-0.010 s^（-1）. The other peak efficiency of ＊60 % occurs at C950 °C/0.001-0.010 s^（-1）, which can be considered to be the optimum condition for high-temperature working of this alloy.However, at strain rates of higher than 1.000 s^（-1）and deformation temperatures of 750 and 950 °C, clear process flow lines and bands of flow localization occur in the hightemperature deformation process, which should be avoided in Ti555211 alloy hot processing. The mechanism in stability domain and instability domain was also discussed.

文摘Results of an experimental and modelling study of forming processes in the AA2099 Al–Cu–Li alloy, for a wide range of temperatures, strains and strain rates, are presented. The analyses are based on tensile testing at 20 °C at a strain rate of 0.02 s-1and uniaxial compression testing in the temperature range 400–550 °C at strain rates ranging from0.001 to 100 s-1, for constant values of true strain of 0.5 and 0.9. The stability of plastic deformation and its relationship with a sensitivity of stress to strain rate are considered. The power dissipation efficiency coefficient, g（%）, and the flow instability parameter, n B 0, were determined. The complex processing maps for hot working were determined and quantified, including process frames for basic forging processes： conventional forging and for near-superplastic and isothermal conditions. A significant aspect is the convergence of power dissipation when passing through the 500 °C peak.Deformation, temperature and strain-rate-dependent microstructures at 500 °C for strain rates of 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 s-1are described and analysed for the conventional die forging process frame, corresponding to 465–523 °C and strain rates of50–100 s-1.

文摘High strength β titanium alloys are widely used in large load bearing components in the aerospace field. At present, large parts are generally formed by die forging. Different initial microstructures and deformation process parameters will significantly affect the flow behavior. To precisely control the microstructures, researchers have conducted many studies to analyze the microstructure evolution law and deformation mechanism during hot compression. This review focuses on the microstructure evolution of high strength β titanium alloys during hot deformation, including dynamic recrystallization and dynamic recovery in the single-phase region and the dynamic evolution of the α phase in the two-phase region. Furthermore, the optimal hot processing regions, instability regions,and the relationship between the efficiency of power dissipation and the deformation mechanism in the hot processing map are summarized. Finally, the problems and development direction of using hot processing maps to optimize process parameters are also emphasized.

文摘The determination of intrinsic deformation parameters inducing grain refinement mechanism of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) contributes to the relative forming process design. For Ni80A superalloy, the processing maps were constructed by the derivation of the stress-strain data coming from a series of isothermal compression tests at temperatures of 1273^-1473 K and strain rates of 0.01-10 s^-1. According to the processing maps and microstructural validation, the deformation parameter windows with DRX mechanism were separated in an innovative deformation mechanism map. In addition, the deformation activation energy representing deformation energy barrier was introduced to further optimize such windows. Finally, the enhanced processing maps were constructed and the parameter domains corresponding to DRX mechanism and lower deformation barrier were determined as follows: at ε=0.3, domains: 1296-1350 K, 0.056-0.32 s^-1 and 1350-1375 K, 0.035-0.11 s^-1;at ε=0.5, domains: 1290-1348 K, 0.2-0.5 s^-1 and 1305-1370 K, 0.035-0.2 s^-1;at ε=0.7, domains: 1290-1355 K, 0.042-0.26 s^-1;at ε=0.9, domains: 1298-1348 K, 0.037-0.224 s^-1.

文摘The hot deformation behaviors of as-solution Mg?xZn?yEr alloys (x/y=6, x=3.0, 4.5 and 6.0; y=0.50, 0.75 and 1.00) wereinvestigated on Gleeble?1500 thermal simulator in a temperature range of 200?450 °C at a strain rate of 0.001?1 s?1. The truestress?strain curves showed the dynamic competition between the working hardening and working softening mainly due to thedynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurring during hot compression. The constitutive equations were constructed which couldaccurately predict the peak stress of the alloys. The addition of Zn and/or Er resulted in higher deformation activation energy forMg?3Zn?0.5Er (alloy A). The processing maps were constructed as function of the temperature and the strain rate, providing theoptimum hot working conditions (i.e., at strain of 0.3, Mg?3Zn?0.5Er (alloy A): 380?430 ?C, <0.1 s?1; Mg?4.5Zn?0.75Er (alloy B):380?450 ?C, 0.01?0.1 s?1; Mg?6Zn?1Er (alloy C): 390?440 ?C, 0.01?0.1 s?1). The as-solution treated Mg?4.5Zn?0.75Er (alloy B)demonstrated more optimum hot working window comparing with Mg?3Zn?0.5Er (alloy A) and Mg?6Zn?1Er (alloy C).

文摘Uniaxial compression tests were carried out on an Al-Cu-Li alloy at a temperature range of 300–500℃ and a strain rate range of 0.001–10 s^-1. Four representative instability maps based on Gegel, AlexanderMalas(A-M), Kumar-Prasad(K-P) and Murty-Rao(M-R) criteria were constructed. Through formula deduction and microstructural observation, it can be concluded that M-R criterion is more accurate than K-P criterion, and the first two criteria are better than Gegel and A-M criteria. From a power dissipation map and a M-R instability map, the optimized processing parameters are 480–500℃/0.001–0.1 s^-1 and 420–480℃/0.1-1 s^-1. The corresponding microstructural analysis shows that dynamic recovery and partial dynamic recrystallization are main dynamic softening mechanisms. Transmission electron microscopy observation indicated that a large number of primary coarse T1(Al2 Cu Li) particles precipitated in the homogenized specimen. After deformation at 500℃, most of the primary T1 particles dissolved back into the matrix, and secondary fine T1 particles precipitated at deformation-induced dislocations, high angle grain boundaries and other dispersed particles.

文摘Hot deformation behavior of the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy was investigated using hot compressive tests in the tem- perature range of 650-850℃ and strain rate range of 0.001-10 s-1. The constitutive equation of the alloy based on the hyperbolic-sine equation was established to characterize the flow stress as a function of strain rate and deformation temperature. The critical conditions for the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization were determined based on the alloy strain hardening rate curves. Based on the dynamic material model, the processing maps at the strains of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 were obtained. When the true strain was 0.5, greater power dissipation efficiency was observed at 800-850 ℃ and under 0.001-0.1 s-1, with the peak efficiency of 47%. The evolution of DRX microstructure strongly depends on the deformation temperature and the strain rate. Based on the processing maps and microstructure evolution, the optimal hot working conditions for the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy are in the temperature range of 800-850 ℃ and the strain rate range of 0.001-0.1 s-1.
