Abstract
In order to get the insights about microstructural changes that occurs under the thermo-mechanical processing conditions, the physics based modelling approach is very useful. Therefore, the flow curves of alloy 718 are theoretical simulated using a dislocation density dependent constitutive model for different conditions. Presented model considers the microstructural ingredients that are immobile dislocation density, effective grain size and dislocation cell size as the variables to address the creep. The simulated flow curves show a good agreement with the experimental flow curves. The magnitude of immobile dislocation density and dislocation cell size in between 3.87× 1014 - 3.87× 1014 m-2 and 8.29-8.45 μm, respectively, at the completion of the simulation. Furthermore, this approach also provides the possibility to quantify and depict the variation in each strengthening contributions.
