The aim of the present study is the prediction of critical conditions (including critical strain and flow stress)
for the initiation of dynamic recrystallization during thermo-mechanical processing of plain carbon steels. For this
propose, torsion tests were conducted at different temperature (1050, 1100 and 1150˚C) and strain rates (0.002, 0.02
and 0.2/s). All flow curves showed a peak st...
