Abstract
Hot torsion tests were carried out to evaluate the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behaviors of hot-extruded AA5083 at various deformation conditions. Flow curves showed the peak followed by the flow softening to the steady-state or to the failure strain, indicating that the DRX occurred during deformation. The peak stress increased as the temperature decreased and the strain rate increased. Constitutive relationship and Zener-Hollomon (Z) parameter were used to evaluate the DRX characteristics. Peak and steady-state stresses were generalized by the dimensionless parameter, Z/A, to reveal the DRX mechanism. The empirical relationship of the DRXed grain size with the deformation conditions was established, and decreased with increasing Z parameter. The relationship for the fraction of DRXed grains was established as a function of the effective strain at given deformation conditions from the experimental data. The Avrami relationship based on micro-hardness measurement was used to describe the DRX kinetics, and was fitted well with the observed DRX fraction.
