In this work, the microstructure evolution of 2519 aluminum alloy was studied at elevated temperatures by the isothermal interrupted hot compression tests on the Gleeble 1500. A static recrystallization kinetic model was established based on the modified Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation and the microstructures of the alloy were analysed by the optical microscope (OM) and transmitted electron microscope (TEM). The finite element method (FEM) with DEFORM-2D was used to investigate the microstructure evolution of 2519 aluminum alloy in multi-pass hot compression process. The results show that the recrystallization fraction at the centre of specimen was larger than that of the surface. With pass increasing from 1 to 4, the average recrystallization fraction increases from 45.5% to 76.4% and the percentage of recrystallization fraction increases as the pass increases, which are well agreement with the experimental results.
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.
