Dynamic Recrystallization Behavior and Model Study of Equiaxed Fine Grain Structure TC4

Abstract

Thermal compression test of equiaxed fine grain structure TC4 was conducted by using Glebble-3800 testing machine. The deformation temperature ranged between 800-950 °C, the strain rate ranged between 0.01-10 s−1, and the deformation was 60%. The dynamic recrystallization behavior under this condition was analyzed. The results show that the dynamic recrystallization behavior of equiaxed fine grain structure TC4 is sensitive to temperature and strain rate. The grain size and volume ratio of dynamic recrystallization increases with increasing temperature and decreases with increasing strain rate. In this paper, with the β-phase transition temperature as the boundary, a dynamic recrystallization critical strain model, a dynamic model and a critical size model of the equiaxed fine grain TC4 are established. The predicted value of the established constitutive model is in good agreement with the experimental value, which provides a theoretical basis for the microstructure control of the alloy during plastic processing.
