Effect of Deformation Conditions on Dynamic Recrystallization of As-Cast GH625 Alloy

Abstract

High temperature compression tests at a deformation temperature range of 1273K~1473K with various strain rates of 0.01s-1~0.1s-1 on as-cast GH625 alloy were carried out, aiming at the current research status that the deformation process of cogging and the recrystallization behavior of ingot are still in the study. The results indicated that the recrystallization nuclei of ingot formed not only along the original grain boundaries, but also in the interdendrite. Dynamic recrystallization volume percent increased with the increase of temperature and the decrease of strain rate. When the temperature was high and strain rate was low, the dynamic recrystallization behavior of as-cast GH625 alloy was dominated by discontinuous recrystallization. However, when the temperature was low and strain rate was high, continuous recrystallization also existed. These results can provide some reliable experimental support for the cogging process design.
