Abstract
The macroscopic strain rate sensitivity m and apparent activation energy Q are derived from their microscopic counterparts associated with strain hardening, grain boundary mobility, and nucleation rate in the case of steady state discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX). The case of solid solutions, involving effects of the solute concentration on strain hardening and boundary mobility, is also taken into consideration. Moreover, three distinct Derby exponents are introduced to refine the correlation between steady state flow stress and average grain size. Hot torsion data and micrographic observations on a set of nickel-niobium alloys are used to assess the predictions of this tentative approach.
