Abstract
A new unified description for the steady state deformation stress in single and polycrystalline metals and for various deformation conditions is presented. The new formulation for dislocation controlled deformation stems from the field of irreversible thermodynamics. The model applies to conditions of dynamic recovery as well as dynamic recrystallization and has been validated for constant strain rate and creep loading conditions. Unlike existing approaches, the new model captures transitions between deformation mechanisms within a single formulation. For conditions of dynamic recrystallization, the average dislocation density is found to be a function of the shear strain rate and a term combining the dislocation climb velocity and the grain boundary velocity.
