Dynamic Recrystallization of Spheroidal Graphite Iron during Hot Cutting Operations

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of the present paper is to analyse the dynamic recrystallization process occurring during the hot cutting of spheroidal graphite iron. In the first instance, hot cutting tests are performed with an orthogonal cutting test bench. The emergence of dynamic recrystallization is highlighted thanks to microstructural observations. Then, a finite element model of the hot cutting operation is introduced. The material behaviour is modelled with a specific constitutive model considering the influence of dynamic recrystallization on the plastic flow stress. Finally, the predictive response of this model is compared to the experimental observations.
