Determination of critical points on hot stress-strain curve of metals is crucial in thermo-mechanical processes design. In this investigation a mathematical modeling is given to illustrate the behavior of metal during hot deformation processes such as hot rolling. The critical strain for the onset of dynamic recrystallization has been obtained as a function of strain at the maximum stress. In a...

experiments were carried out in which the dependence of the fractional softening on temperature, time and strain rate was determined in a 304h stainless steel. three prestrain ranges were identified pertaining to three different post-deformation softening behaviors: 1) prestraining to below the drx critical strain: strongly strain dependent softening by srx alone with softening kinetics control...

Static recrystallization is a method of tailoring the microstructure and mechanical properties steels, which important for microalloyed forging steels as hot deformation process significantly affects their properties. In this paper, static behavior low-carbon Nb-V-microalloyed steel was investigated by double-pass compression tests at temperature 800–1100 °C interruption time 1–1000 s. The frac...

The evaluation of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for directly cold rolled Al-6Mg, Al-6Mg-0.4Sc and Al-6Mg-0.4Sc-0.2Zr alloys. Samples were annealed isothermally at 400 °C for 1 to 240 minutes to allow recrystallization. Recrystallization kinetics of the alloys is analyzed from the micro-hardness variation. Isothermally annealed samples of aluminum alloys were ...

The effects of prior stored energy level, annealing temperature, heating velocity, and initial grain size on annealing twin development during static recrystallization of commercially pure nickel (99.999 %) are investigated. The twin content (measured as the twin boundary density or as the number of twins per grain) at the end of recrystallization is shown to be primarily influenced by the prio...

The deformation mode during hot rolling of plates and strips is very similar to ideal plane strain conditions. For this reason it is highly desirable to obtain this deformation mode during laboratory experiments. That’s why the PSC testing is now generally accepted as one of the most reliable methods for the generation of flow stress data and microstructural investigation of flat rolling. Inter...

In this paper, the traceability of copper from the anode to the cathode and then the wire rod has been studied in terms of impurity content, microstructure, texture, recrystallization kinetics, and ductility. These characterizations were obtained based on secondary ion mass spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction, HV hardness, and electron backscattered diffract...
