The objective of the paper is modeling of material softening after the deformation. The main problem of almost every model with digital material representation is consideration of recrystallization as the only mechanism of material softening. Static recovery is introduced into the model based on frontal cellular automata. An influence of static recovery on softening process is twofold. Static r...

Recrystallization is one of the most important physical phenomena in condensed matter that has been utilized for materials processing for thousands of years in human history. It is generally believed that recrystallization is thermally activated and a minimum temperature must be achieved for the necessary atomic mechanisms to occur. Here, using atomistic simulations, we report a new mechanism o...

A brief summary of simulation techniques for recrystallization is given. The limitations of the Potts model and the Cellular Automaton model as used in their standard forms for grain growth and recrystallization are noted. A new approach based on a hybrid of the Potts model (MC) and the Cellular Automaton (CA) model is proposed in order to obtain the desired limiting behavior for both curvature...

the hot compression tests were carried on x45crniw189 valve steel (x45) in the temperature rangeof 1000– 1200 °c and the strain rate range of 0.004 – 0.5 s-1 in order to study the high temperaturesoftening behavior of this steel. for the exact prediction of flow stress, the effective stress-effectivestrain curves were obtained from experiments under various conditions. on the basis of experimen...
