Abstract
In the present research, a continuum-based thermo-mechanically coupled rigid-viscoplastic finite element model is proposed in Deform-3D software to simulate the friction stir welding (FSW) of AZ91 magnesium alloy. Then, to consider the microstructure evolution of the weld zone, a model is established based on the combination of cellular automaton and Laasraoui-Jonas models. The simulated microstructure of the weld zone is compared with the experiment one. Furthermore, the ability of presented model in demonstrating the nucleation and grain growth stages during dynamic recrystallization (DRX) is considered.
