The specimens were annealed in vacuumfor 1.5 h at 500 deg C and then water quenched. The study indicates that the dynamicrecrystallization occurs during hot torsion of Al-4Mg alloy in a certain range of Z parameter(Zener-Hollmon Parameter), i.e. 19.3 <= lnZ <=24.8. Increasing the strain rate at higher deformationtemperature or reducing the strain rate at lower deformation temperature accelerates the occurrenceof dynamic recrystallization in the alloy.展开更多

The initiation and evolution of ultrafine ferrite grains were studied. The results show that the amount of strain and strain rate has conversely effect on the volume fraction and grain size of ultrafine ferrite grains. With increasing strain, the interior of austenite grains become activated as nucle- ation sites for fine ferrite grains. As a result, ferrite grains continuously nucleate not only at the former austenite grain boundaries but also inside the austenite grains which leads to a rapid increase in volume fraction of ultrafine grains. Increasing of strain rate reduces the tendency of ferrite grains coarsening so that ultrafine ferrite grains are achieved, while the volume fraction of ultrafine grains decreases at the same strain level.展开更多

Simulation results show that an inappropriate choice of test specimen geometry and reheating conditions before deformation could lead to non-uniform temperature distribution within the gauge section of specimen. Therefore, assumptions of isothermal experimental conditions and zero temperature gradient within the specimen cross section appear unjustified and led to uncertainties of flow curve obtained. Recommendations on finding proper specimen geometry for reducing temperature gradient along the gauge part of specimen will be given to create homogeneous initial microstructure as much as possible before deformation in order to avoid uncertainty in consequent results of HTT.展开更多
