Isothermal compression tests are carried out on 20CrMnTiH steel using a Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator in the temperature range of 1223–1423 K and in the strain rate range of 0·01–10 s−1. The flow behaviours of 20CrMnTiH steel are described, which are based on the analysis of true stress–true strain curves. The effects of hot deformation on the microstructure are investigated. The results show that there is a typical dynamic recrystallisation behaviour during deformation. A constitutive model coupling flow stress with strain, strain rate and temperature to 20CrMnTiH steel is proposed using a hyperbolic sinusoidal type equation. In the constitutive equation, the material constants α, n, ln A and Q are found to be functions of strain. The validity of the constitutive equation is assessed by the correlation coefficient ( r), the average absolute relative error and the mean squared error.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
