The hot deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of Ti-44Al-5V-1Cr alloy were investigated by hot compression tests at temperatures of 1000–1250 ◦C and strain rates of 0.001–1 s−1. It was indicated that the dependence of peak stress on deformation temperature and strain rate could be accurately described by a hyperbolic sine type equation. The activation energy, Q, was estimated to be...

the current study conducted a finite element (fe) and experimental investigation on tubular channel angular pressing as a noble severe plastic deformation technique for producing ultrafine grained and nanostructure tubular components. to examine the effects of the tcap process on the strain distribution and deformation behavior, fe simulations were employed. the fe results demonstrated that equ...

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...

Caterpillar has been collaborating with suppliers to analyze steel castings for the tendency to form hot tears using a newly developed damage-based model. The implementation and application of the damage-based hot tear model is presented. The implementation is through an uncoupled simulation of the solidification and deformation problems using commercial software with a user-defined constitutiv...

Till now, different constitutive models have been applied to model the hot deformation flow curves of different materials. In this research, the hot deformation flow stress of API X65 pipeline steel was modeled using the power law equation with strain dependent constants. The results was compared with the results of the other previously examined constitutive equations including the Arrhenius eq...

dynamic recrystallization, drx, behaviour of a precipitation hardened, ph, stainless steel was studied in connection with microstructural developments in a compression test. the experimental results showed that the dominant mechanism of softening is drx, but at high strain rates and low temperatures, ie, high zener-holman parameter, z, work hardening and dynamic recovery, drv, produced a pancke...

the effects of carbon content on the dynamic and static softening mechanisms of ti microalloy steels were investigated both in ferrite and austenite regions. the results obtained showed that recrystallization rate decreased as the percentage of carbon content was increased from 0.0035 to 0.110. this is due to the ti(cn) and tic precipitates and also the free carbon content. in the ferrite regio...

This study investigated the effect of dynamic exercise in a hot environment on muscle fibre conduction velocity (MFCV) of the knee extensors during a sustained isometric contraction. Seven trained male cyclists (mean [±SD], age, and V˙O(2max) were 35±9.9 and 57.4±6.6 ml kg(-1) min(-1)) cycled for 50 min at 60% of peak power output in either: (1) 40°C (HOT); or (2) 19°C (NEUTRO); and (3) remaine...
