Modelling Dynamic Recrystallization of A356 Aluminum Alloy during Hot Deformation

The flow stress and dynamic recrystallization behavior of A356 aluminum alloy was studied, with a strain rate ranging from 0.001 s<sup>−1</sup> to 1 s<sup>−1</sup> and temperature ranging from 300 to 500 °C. Both the true stress–strain curves and microstructure examination of...

Description
Summary:The flow stress and dynamic recrystallization behavior of A356 aluminum alloy was studied, with a strain rate ranging from 0.001 s<sup>−1</sup> to 1 s<sup>−1</sup> and temperature ranging from 300 to 500 °C. Both the true stress–strain curves and microstructure examination of A356 aluminum alloy indicated that dynamic recrystallization occurred during the isothermal compression. A physical dynamic recrystallization model based on the Arrhenius equation was developed, and this model can accurately predict the dynamic recrystallization fraction of A356 aluminum alloy during the isothermal compression. Finally, this model was implemented in FEM software Forge, and the microstructure evolution was simulated well.
