Abstract
Hot compressions tests of Inconel 625 superalloy were conducted using a Gleeble-1500 simulator at different strains between 900 °C and 1200 °C with a strain rate of 0.1 s −1. Optical microscope, transmission electron microscope and electron backscatter diffraction technique were employed to investigate the microstructure evolution and nucleation mechanisms of dynamic recrystallization. It was found that both the size and fraction of dynamically recrystallized grains increase with increasing deformation temperature. However, the size of dynamically recrystallized grains almost remains constant with increasing deformation strain. The dominant nucleation mechanism of dynamic recrystallization in Inconel 625 superalloy deformed at 1150 °C is the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization, which is characterized by the bulging of the original grain boundaries accompanied with twining. The continuous dynamic recrystallization characterized by progressive subgrain rotation occurs simultaneously in dynamic recrystallization process, although it can only be considered as an assistant nucleation mechanism at the early stage of hot deformation.
