Modeling the Dynamic Recrystallization and Flow Curves Using the Kinetics of Static Recrystallization

摘要

The results of modeling the dynamic recrystallization of steels during hot deformation on the basis of information on their static recrystallization kinetics are presented. The results of predicting the amount of deformation accumulated in the metal under the conditions of dynamic recrystallization development were used for calculating the metal flow curves. The model was validated by comparing the calculated flow curves with the experimental flow curves determined on the 1045 steel by means of hot torsion tests carried out from 1000 °C to 1100 °C and at strain rates from 0.1 to 10 s^‒1. The difference between the experimental and predicted flow stress values did not exceed 6%. The influence of the chemical element content in low-alloyed steels on the magnitude of the critical strain for the initiation of dynamic recrystallization is assessed. The method of predicting the kinetics of dynamic recrystallization by recalculating the kinetics of static recrystallization to the conditions of continuous growth of the strain degree during metal deformation implemented in the model can be used in designing and optimizing technologies associated with metal hot forming processes.
