The Dynamic Recrystallization Model of 7050 Al-Alloy during Hot Deformation

Abstract:

In this paper, the compression stress-strain curves of 7050 Al-alloy under various deformation conditions were obtained, and the recrystallization structures were analyzed. The main parameters of dynamic recrystallization model were determined. The rationality of the model parameters were verified by hot compression and extrusion. The results show that the accuracy of the model is high enough for predicting the recrystallization of the 7050 Al-alloy during hot deformation. Comparison of the experiment and calculated results in hot compression shows that the maximum relative error of the recrystallization fraction is 11.4%. Comparison of the experiment and calculated results in hot extrusion shows that the maximum relative error of the recrystallization fraction is 13.0%, and that of the recrystallization grain size is 14.9%.
