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.展开更多

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

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%.

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

文摘The hot deformation characteristics of induction quenched Zr-Sn-Nb-Fe-Cr alloy forged rod in the temperature range of 600–900°C and strain rate range of 0.001–1 s^(-1)were studied by Gleeble3800 uniaxial hot compression experiment.The results show that the flow stress decreases with the decrease in strain rate and the increase in deformation temperature in the true stress-true strain curve of Zr-Sn-Nb-Fe-Cr alloy forged rod.Moreover,the hot deformation characteristics of the material can be described by the hyperbolic sine constitutive equation.Under the experimental conditions,the average thermal activation energy(Q)of the alloy was 412.9105 kJ/mol.The microstructure analysis of the processing map and the sample after hot compression shows that the optimum hot working parameters of the alloy are 795–900°C,0.001–0.0068 s^(-1),at the deformation temperature of 600–900°C,and the strain rate of 0.001–1 s^(-1).
文摘Using a Gleeble 3500 thermomechanical simulation testing machine,the hot deformation characteristics of 23Cr-8Ni steel were investigated under the conditions of 1000–1250℃ and 0.001‒10 s^(−1).Furthermore,the microstructure of the characterization region was analyzed to investigate the recrystallization behavior of 23Cr-8Ni steel.Results show that as the strain rate decreases and the deformation temperature increases,the flow stress decreases.Because the softening phenomenon occurs after the peak stress,the flow stress decreases.The stress index(n)is 4.28,and the thermal deformation activation energy(Q)is 588878 J/mol.Processing map is established,and an optimal thermal processing range of 0.001–0.1 s^(−1) and 1000–1200℃ is achieved,therefore greatly promoting the yield rate.

文摘Bacterial and mycoplasma infections pose a severe hazard to human life and property.These necessitate the development of antibacterial metallic materials that can be produced efficiently in large quantities.In this study,an(Fe_(63.3)Mn_(14)Si_(9.1)Cr_(9.8)C_(3.8))_(86)Cu_(12)Ag_(2)medium-entropy alloy(MEA)consisting of in situ FCC1(austenite)and FCC2(Cu–Ag-rich)phases was prepared.It displayed a yield strength of 1100 MPa,fracture strength of 1921 MPa,and compressive plasticity of 27%at room temperature.This is attributed to the low stacking fault energy(3.7 m J m^(-2))inducing strong transformation-induced plasticity(TRIP),twinning-induced plasticity(TWIP),and lattice distortion.The alloy contained nano-and microscale antibacterial phases.This enabled it to achieve an antimicrobial efficiency higher than 99.9%against E.coli and S.aureus after6 h of exposure.The hot working efficiency makes it preferable for mass production with critical process parameters.A constitutive model was established using the Arrhenius equation to validate the applicability of the dynamic materials model(DMM).Subsequently,the hot processing map of the medium-entropy alloy was established based on the DMM.The optimal processing parameters were determined as 800℃with strain rates of10^(–1)–10^(–2)s^(-1).The low stacking fault energy ensures that dynamic recrystallization is the primary softening mechanism in the“safe”region.Finally,the density of states(DOS)of the MEA(determined by first-principles calculations)was significantly lower(162.1 eV)than those of Ni and Fe.This indicated a strong high-temperature stability.The DOS increased marginally with an increase in deformation.

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This study systematically investigates the hot deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of CoNiV medium-entropy alloy(MEA)in the temperature range of 950-1100℃ and strain rates of 0.001-1 s^(-1).The Arrhenius model and machine learning model were developed to forecast flow stresses at various conditions.The predictive capability of both models was assessed using the coefficients of determination(R^(2)),average absolute relative error(AARE),and root mean square error(RMSE).The findings show that the osprey optimization algorithm convolutional neural network(OOA-CNN)model outperforms the Arrhenius model,achieving a high R^(2) value of 0.99959 and lower AARE and RMSE values.The flow stress that the OOA-CNN model predicted was used to generate power dissipation maps and instability maps under different strains.Finally,combining the processing map and microstructure characterization,the ideal processing domain was identified as 1100℃ at strain rates of 0.01-0.1 s^(-1).This study provided key insights into optimizing the hot working process of CoNiV MEA.

文摘Ti750s titanium alloy,a novel high-temperature titanium alloy designed for short-term service at elevated temperatures(700–750℃),has previously lacked comprehensive understanding of its hot processing behavior.In this study,the high-temperature deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of the Ti750s alloy were systematically investigated through thermal simulation compression tests conducted at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1070℃and strain rates between 0.1 and 10 s⁻1.A hot processing map was constructed using the dynamic material model to optimize the hot processing parameters.The results indicated that the optimal processing window was between 1040 and 1070℃with a strain rate of 0.1 s⁻1.Processing within the instability region resulted in localized plastic deformation,manifesting as pronounced shear bands and a highly heterogeneous strain distribution;this region should be avoided during hot deformation.Within theα+βphase safety zone characterized by low power dissipation rates between 0.32 and 0.4,the primary deformation mechanism in this region was dynamic recovery(DRV),where the lamellarαgrains underwent deformation and rotation.Conversely,in theα+βphase safety zone with high-power dissipation rates between 0.45 and 0.52,dynamic spheroidization of theαphase and dynamic recrystallization(DRX)of theβphase occurred concurrently.In theβphase safety zone with low power dissipation rates between 0.32 and 0.51,the primary deformation mechanism consisted of DRV ofβgrains,accompanied by limited DRX.However,in theβphase safety zone with high-power dissipation rates exceeding 0.56,both DRV and DRX ofβgrains took place,resulted in a significant increase in the size and number of recrystallized grains compared to those observed under low power dissipation conditions.

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The current study investigates the hot deformation behavior of Al-12Ce-0.4Sc alloy with an isothermal hot compression test at300-450°C/0.001-1s^(-1).Results show that the flow curves exhibit typical dynamic recovery(DRV)and slight flow-softening behavior.Additionally,the flow curves overlap owing to the dynamic strain aging(DSA)phenomenon at 400-450°C/0.01-0.1 s^(-1).Two different constitutive models were developed using the experimental data for hot deformation:(i)strain-compensated Arrhenius model(Method I)and(ii)logistic regression model(MethodⅡ).The average stress exponent(n)and apparent activation energy(Q)are 14.25 and 209.58 k J·mol^(-1),respectively.The hot-working processing map shows that the optimal processing condition is 400°C/1 s^(-1),and the maximum power dissipation efficiency is 22%.Stable and unstable domains indicated by the processing map were correlated using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)characterization techniques.The unstable domains are primarily associated with pro-eutectic Al11Ce3intermetallic fracture and interfacial cracks betweenα-Al and pro-eutectic Al_(11)Ce_(3).

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Based on the experimental data of Ti40 alloy obtained from Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator,an artificial neural network model of high temperature flow stress as a function of strain,strain rate and temperature was established.In the network model,the input parameters of the model are strain,logarithm strain rate and temperature while flow stress is the output parameter.Multilayer perceptron（MLP） architecture with back-propagation algorithm is utilized.The present study achieves a good performance of the artificial neural network（ANN） model,and the predicted results are in agreement with experimental values.A processing map of Ti40 alloy is obtained with the flow stress predicted by the trained neural network model.The processing map developed by ANN model can efficiently track dynamic recrystallization and flow localization regions of Ti40 alloy during deforming.Subsequently,the safe and instable domains of hot working of Ti40 alloy are identified and validated through microstructural investigations.
