Abstract

In this study, the modeling of recrystallization and grain growth was investigated to predict the microstructure evolution during hot working of INCONEL 783 superalloy (Alloy 783). The recrystallization model was constructed on the basis of the Avrami formation. A least-square optimization technique was used to determine several important parameters within the model from isothermal heat treatment and hot compression test results. High temperature compression tests were carried out under different temperatures, strain rates and strain conditions. The model for describing the recrystallization and grain growth behaviors of Alloy 783 was implemented onto the user-subroutine of a commercial FE code. In order to demonstrate the reliability of the model, the microstructure evolution of Alloy 783 alloy during the hot compression test was simulated and was accorded well with the experimental results.
