The results indicated that the true stress-true strain curves show a dynamic flow softening behavior. The flow curves after the friction and the temperature compensations were employed to develop constitutive equations. The effects of temperature and the strain rate on the deformation behavior were represented by Zener-Holloman exponential equation. The influence of strain was incorporated in the constitutive analysis by considering the effect of the strain on material constants by a five-order polynomial. A revised model was proposed to describe the relationships among the flow stress, strain rate and temperature and the predicted flow stress curves were in good agreement with experimental results. Appropriate deformation processing parameters were suggested based on the processing map which was constructed from friction and temperature corrected flow curves, determined as 1343 K, 0.02 s-1 and were successfully applied in the canned forging of billets to simulate industrial work condition.展开更多

The processing maps at different strains were then constructed based on the dynamic materials model, and the hot compression process parameters and deformation mechanism were optimized and analyzed, respectively. The results show that the processing maps exhibit two domains with a high efficiency of power dissipation and a flow instability domain with a less efficiency of power dissipation. The types of domains were characterized by convergence and divergence of the efficiency of power dissipation, respectively. The convergent domain in a＋fl phase field is at the temperature of 950-990 ℃ and the strain rate of 0.001-0.01 s^-1, which correspond to a better hot compression process window of α＋β phase field. The peak of efficiency of power dissipation in α＋β phase field is at 950 ℃ and 0.001 s 1, which correspond to the best hot compression process parameters of α＋β phase field. The convergent domain in β phase field is at the temperature of 1020-1080 ℃ and the strain rate of 0.001-0.1 s^-l, which correspond to a better hot compression process window of β phase field. The peak of efficiency of power dissipation in ℃ phase field occurs at 1050 ℃ over the strain rates from 0.001 s^-1 to 0.01 s^-1, which correspond to the best hot compression process parameters of ,8 phase field. The divergence domain occurs at the strain rates above 0.5 s^-1 and in all the tested temperature range, which correspond to flow instability that is manifested as flow localization and indicated by the flow softening phenomenon in stress-- strain curves. The deformation mechanisms of the optimized hot compression process windows in a＋β and β phase fields are identified to be spheroidizing and dynamic recrystallizing controlled by self-diffusion mechanism, respectively. The microstructure observation of the deformed specimens in different domains matches very well with the optimized results.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

文摘A new three-dimensional multiphase numerical model was built.The volume of fluid and k-ε turbulence models were used to investigate the hot metal ladle pouring process.During the pouring process,issues such as iron splashing,overflow,and significant heat loss are prevalent.To realize efficient and stable pouring,the effects of ladle tilting velocity,flow rate,and converter tilting angle on the pouring process were examined.The model was verified by comparing the actual pouring time with the numerical results.It is shown that there is a nonlinear relationship between pouring velocity and hot metal flow rate at the ladle mouth.As the mass flow increased and the converter tilting angle decreased,the impact point of the hot metal into the converter pool shifted from the side wall to the bottom,and the impact force increased accordingly.The pouring velocity curve was optimized by the volume difference of the ladle at different angles,and an empirical formula was derived.After the optimization of pouring speed,the flow rate was stabilized between 4000 and 6000 kg/s,and the pouring time was reduced by approximately 30 s.After applying this model in actual production,the hot metal temperature inside the converter increased by approximately 5℃statistically.This model is potential to enhance the production efficiency,stability,and safety of the pouring process between open containers.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of GH3230 superalloy under selected deformation conditions ranging from 950 to 1150℃with strain rates ranging from 0.01 to 10 s^(–1)was studied through isothermal hot compression experiments.Based on the obtained flow stresses,a strain-compensated Arrhenius-type model was developed for the description of hot deformation behavior,and the consistency of the predicted flow stresses with the experimental values confirms the accuracy of the developed model.Furthermore,the processing maps were constructed and classified into the instability domain,low-dissipation stability domain and high-dissipation stability domain in accordance with the dynamic material model and the instability criterion.Microstructure observations indicated that the instability domain exhibits the adiabatic shear bands formation,and the low-power dissipation domain exhibits partial dynamic recrystallization(DRX),with the temperature increase/strain rate decrease being favorable for the DRX.The high-dissipation stability domain was occupied by uniformly fine equiaxed grains,and was identified as the optimal processing window,which corresponds to the deformation conditions at 1070–1150℃ with strain rates ranging from 0.01 to 0.15 s^(–1).Moreover,various DRX mechanisms are observed to occur during the hot deformation,which include the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization,characterized by nucleation at bulged boundaries,the continuous dynamic recrystallization with subgrain progressive rotation and the particle stimulated nucleation mechanism with stimulated nucleation of carbide particles.

文摘In the context of intelligent manufacturing,the modern hot strip mill process(HSMP)shows characteristics such as diversification of products,multi-specification batch production,and demand-oriented customization.These characteristics pose significant challenges to ensuring process stability and consistency of product performance.Therefore,exploring the potential relationship between product performance and the production process,and developing a comprehensive performance evaluation method adapted to modern HSMP have become an urgent issue.A comprehensive performance evaluation method for HSMP by integrating multi-task learning and stacked performance-related autoencoder is proposed to solve the problems such as incomplete performance indicators(PIs)data,insufficient real-time acquisition requirements,and coupling of multiple PIs.First,according to the existing Chinese standards,a comprehensive performance evaluation grade strategy for strip steel is designed.The random forest model is established to predict and complete the parts of PIs data that could not be obtained in real-time.Second,a stacked performance-related autoencoder(SPAE)model is proposed to extract the deep features closely related to the product performance.Then,considering the correlation between PIs,the multi-task learning framework is introduced to output the subitem ratings and comprehensive product performance rating results of the strip steel online in real-time,where each task represents a subitem of comprehensive performance.Finally,the effectiveness of the method is verified on a real HSMP dataset,and the results show that the accuracy of the proposed method is as high as 94.8%,which is superior to the other comparative methods.

文摘Hot compression experiments were conducted under conditions of deformation temperatures ranging from 950 to 1150℃,strain rates of 0.001-10 s^(-1),and deformation degrees ranging from 20%to 80%.The hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of millimeter-grade coarse grains(MCGs)in the as-cast Ti-6Cr-5Mo-5V-4Al(Ti-6554)alloy were studied,and a hot processing map was established.Under compression along the rolling direction(RD),continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX)ensues due to the progressive rotation of subgrains within the MCGs.Along the transverse direction(TD),discontinuous dynamic recrystallization(DDRX)resulting from grain boundary bulging or bridging,occurs on the boundaries of the MCGs.With decreasing strain rate,increasing temperature,and higher deformation degree,dynamic recrystallization becomes more pronounced,resulting in a reduction in the original average grain size.The optimal processing parameters fall within a temperature range of 1050-1150℃,a strain rate of 0.01 s^(-1),and a deformation degree between 40%and 60%.

文摘The spherical Ti particle(Ti_(p))reinforced Mg-5Zn-0.5Ca(Ti_(p)/ZX50)composite was prepared via the semisolid stirring casting process and the effects of Ti_(p)on the hot deformation and hot processing behavior of matrix alloy were investigated through uniaxial hot compression testing.The results indicate that a particle deformation zone(PDZ)forms around the Ti_(p)with the deformation of the Ti_(p)/ZX50 composite,which is propitious to the dynamic recrystallization(DRX)of the matrix alloy.The range of the PDZ and the promoting effect of the Ti_(p)on DRXed nucleation are inversely related to the deformation degree of the Ti_(p).Moreover,the deformation of Ti_(p)alleviates the high stress in the matrix alloy during deformation,expanding the processing range and reducing the average deformation activation energy of the matrix alloy.Notably,the minimum processing temperature(493 K)of the Ti_(p)/ZX50 composite is significantly lower than that of hardened particle reinforced magnesium matrix composites.The hot deformation mechanism of the Ti_(p)/ZX50 composite is dislocation climb controlled by both lattice diffusion and pipe diffusion.

文摘Bananas are highly perishable after harvest,and processing them into dried products is a crucial approach to reducing losses and adding their economic values.To address the inefficiency and prolonged duration of traditional hot air drying(HAD)and the quality inconsistency associated with single infrared drying(IRD),this study proposed a novel hot air-infrared combined drying(HAD-IRD)strategy.The effects of HAD,IRD,and HAD-IRD on the drying kinetics,color,rehydration capacity,moisture diffusion mechanism,and sensory quality of banana slices were systematically investigated.The parameters of the combined drying process were optimized using an L_(9)(3^(3))orthogonal experimental design.Results indicated that both IRD and HAD-IRD significantly reduced drying time compared to single HAD.While single IRD achieved a rapid drying rate,the lack of effective convective airflow led to potential case-hardening and unstable product quality.In contrast,the HAD-IRD strategy demonstrated a synergistic effect.The optimal parameters were determined as follows:hot air temperature of 70℃,infrared temperature of 60℃,and radiation distance of 16 cm.Under these optimized conditions,HAD-IRD reduced the total drying time by over 70%while simultaneously yielding products with superior color,higher sensory scores,and improved rehydration ratio.This study confirms that HAD-IRD is an efficient and high-quality drying method for banana slices,providing a reliable theoretical foundation and technical solution for the drying of thermosensitive fruits.

文摘Oxide dispersion strengthened(ODS)alloys are extensively used owing to high thermostability and creep strength contributed from uniformly dispersed fine oxides particles.However,the existence of these strengthening particles also deteriorates the processability and it is of great importance to establish accurate processing maps to guide the thermomechanical processes to enhance the formability.In this study,we performed particle swarm optimization-based back propagation artificial neural network model to predict the high temperature flow behavior of 0.25wt%Al2O3 particle-reinforced Cu alloys,and compared the accuracy with that of derived by Arrhenius-type constitutive model and back propagation artificial neural network model.To train these models,we obtained the raw data by fabricating ODS Cu alloys using the internal oxidation and reduction method,and conducting systematic hot compression tests between 400 and800℃with strain rates of 10^(-2)-10 S^(-1).At last,processing maps for ODS Cu alloys were proposed by combining processing parameters,mechanical behavior,microstructure characterization,and the modeling results achieved a coefficient of determination higher than>99%.

文摘High temperature compressive deformation behaviors of as-cast Ti-43Al-4Nb-1.4W-0.6B alloy was investigated at temperatures ranging from 1323 K to 1473 K, and strain rates from 0.001 s-1 to 1 s-1. The results indicated that the true stress-true strain curves show a dynamic flow softening behavior. The flow curves after the friction and the temperature compensations were employed to develop constitutive equations. The effects of temperature and the strain rate on the deformation behavior were represented by Zener-Holloman exponential equation. The influence of strain was incorporated in the constitutive analysis by considering the effect of the strain on material constants by a five-order polynomial. A revised model was proposed to describe the relationships among the flow stress, strain rate and temperature and the predicted flow stress curves were in good agreement with experimental results. Appropriate deformation processing parameters were suggested based on the processing map which was constructed from friction and temperature corrected flow curves, determined as 1343 K, 0.02 s-1 and were successfully applied in the canned forging of billets to simulate industrial work condition.

文摘The high temperature deformation behaviors of α＋β type titanium alloy TC11 （Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si） with coarse lamellar starting microstructure were investigated based on the hot compression tests in the temperature range of 950-1100 ℃ and the strain rate range of 0.001-10 s-1. The processing maps at different strains were then constructed based on the dynamic materials model, and the hot compression process parameters and deformation mechanism were optimized and analyzed, respectively. The results show that the processing maps exhibit two domains with a high efficiency of power dissipation and a flow instability domain with a less efficiency of power dissipation. The types of domains were characterized by convergence and divergence of the efficiency of power dissipation, respectively. The convergent domain in a＋fl phase field is at the temperature of 950-990 ℃ and the strain rate of 0.001-0.01 s^-1, which correspond to a better hot compression process window of α＋β phase field. The peak of efficiency of power dissipation in α＋β phase field is at 950 ℃ and 0.001 s 1, which correspond to the best hot compression process parameters of α＋β phase field. The convergent domain in β phase field is at the temperature of 1020-1080 ℃ and the strain rate of 0.001-0.1 s^-l, which correspond to a better hot compression process window of β phase field. The peak of efficiency of power dissipation in ℃ phase field occurs at 1050 ℃ over the strain rates from 0.001 s^-1 to 0.01 s^-1, which correspond to the best hot compression process parameters of ,8 phase field. The divergence domain occurs at the strain rates above 0.5 s^-1 and in all the tested temperature range, which correspond to flow instability that is manifested as flow localization and indicated by the flow softening phenomenon in stress-- strain curves. The deformation mechanisms of the optimized hot compression process windows in a＋β and β phase fields are identified to be spheroidizing and dynamic recrystallizing controlled by self-diffusion mechanism, respectively. The microstructure observation of the deformed specimens in different domains matches very well with the optimized results.

文摘The high-temperature deformation behavior of Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy was investigated by using the hot compression test in the temperature range of 600-800 ℃ and strain rate of 0.01-5 s-1. The hot deformation activation energy, Q, was calculated and the hot compression constitutive equation was established. The processing maps of the alloy were constructed based on the experiment data and the forging process parameters were then optimized based on the generated maps for forging process determination. The flow behavior and the microstructural mechanism of the alloy were studied. The flow stress of the Cu-Ni-Si-P alloy increases with increasing strain rate and decreasing deformation temperature, and the dynamic recrystallization temperature of alloy is around 700 ℃. The hot deformation activation energy for dynamic recrystallization is determined as 485.6 kJ/mol. The processing maps for the alloy obtained at strains of 0.3 and 0.5 were used to predict the instability regimes occurring at the strain rate more than 1 s-1 and low temperature （〈650 ℃）. The optimum range for the alloy hot deformation processing in the safe domain obtained from the processing map is 750-800 ℃ at the strain rate of 0.01-0.1 s i The characteristic microstructures predicted from the processing map agree well with the results of microstructural observations.

文摘Hot compression test of a novel nickel-free white alloy Cu?12Mn?15Zn?1.5Al?0.3Ti?0.14B?0.1Ce (mass fraction, %) was conducted on a Gleeble?1500 machine in the temperature range of 600?800 °C and the strain rate range of 0.01?10 s?1. The constitutive equation and hot processing map of the alloy were built up according to its hot deformation behavior and hot working characteristics. The deformation activation energy of the alloy is 203.005 kJ/mol. An instability region appears in the hot deformation temperature of 600?700 °C and the strain rate range of 0.32?10 s?1 when the true strain of the alloy is up to 0.7. Under the optimal hot deformation condition of 800 °C and 10 s?1 the prepared specimen has good surface quality and interior structure. The designed nickel-free alloy has very similar white chromaticity with the traditional white copper alloy (Cu?15Ni?24Zn?1.5Pb), and the color difference between them is less than 1.5, which can hardly be distinguished by human eyes.

文摘Hot deformation behavior of extrusion preform of the spray-formed Al-9.0Mg-0.5Mn-0.1Ti alloy was studied using hot compression tests over deformation temperature range of 300-450 ℃ and strain rate range of 0.01-10 s-1. On the basis of experiments and dynamic material model, 2D processing maps and 3D power dissipation maps were developed for identification of exact instability regions and optimization of hot processing parameters. The experimental results indicated that the efficiency factor of energy dissipate （η） lowered to the minimum value when the deformation conditions located at the strain of 0.4, temperature of 300 ° C and strain rate of 1 s-1. The softening mechanism was dynamic recovery, the grain shape was mainly flat, and the portion of high angle grain boundary （〉15°） was 34%. While increasing the deformation temperature to 400 ° C and decreasing the strain rate to 0.1 s-1, a maximum value of η was obtained. It can be found that the main softening mechanism was dynamic recrystallization, the structures were completely recrystallized, and the portion of high angle grain boundary accounted for 86.5%. According to 2D processing maps and 3D power dissipation maps, the optimum processing conditions for the extrusion preform of the spray-formed Al？9.0Mg？0.5Mn？0.1Ti alloy were in the deformation temperature range of 340-450 ° C and the strain rate range of 0.01-0.1 s-1 with the power dissipation efficiency range of 38%？43%.

文摘Hot compression tests of the extruded 7075Al/15%SiC (volume fraction) particle reinforced composite prepared by spray deposition were performed on Gleeble?1500 system in the temperature range of 300?450 °C and strain rate range of 0.001?1 s?1. The results indicate that the true stress?true strain curve almost exhibits rapid flow softening phenomenon without an obvious work hardening, and the stress decreases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. Moreover, the stress levels are higher at temperature below 400 °C but lower at 450 °C compared with the spray deposited 7075Al alloy. Superplastic deformation characteristics are found at temperature of 450 °C and strain rate range of 0.001?0.1 s?1 with corresponding strain rate sensitivity of 0.72. The optimum parameters of hot working are determined to be temperature of 430?450 °C and strain rate of 0.001?0.05 s?1 based on processing map and optical microstructural observation.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of GH3535 superalloy was investigated by hot compression tests in the temperature range of 1000-1200 °C and strain rate range of 0.01-50 s-1. The activation energy is about 356.3 k J/mol, and the flow curves and processing map were developed on the basis of experimental data. The processing map exhibits a stable domain which occurs in the strain rate range of 0.01-1 s-1 at all the temperatures and a instable domain which occurs in the strain rate range of 1-50 s-1. Microstructural observations reveal that the full dynamic recrystallization（DRX） occurs in the conditions of（1150 °C, 0.01 s-1）,（1200 °C, 0.01 s-1） and（1200 °C, 0.1 s-1） with different grain sizes and undissolved carbides. The flow localization and cracks occur in the regime of flow instability.

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.
