Modeling of dynamic recrystallization behavior of as-extruded am50 magnesium alloy during hot compression by a cellular automaton method

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of as-extruded AM50 magnesium alloy was modelled and simulated by a cellular automaton (CA) method. Isothermal compression experiments were conducted, and the characteristic parameters in the CA model were obtained by the testing stress– strain flow curves in a wide temperature range of 250–450 C and strain rate range of 0.001–10 s−1. The flow stress, DRX volume fraction and DRX grain size of the as-extruded AM50 magnesium alloy were predicted by CA simulation. The results showed that the DRX behavior of the studied magnesium alloy was susceptive with the temperature and strain rate; meanwhile, the prediction results were approximate to the experimental values, indicating that the developed CA model can make a confident estimation on the DRX behavior of the as-extruded AM50 magnesium alloy in high temperature conditions.
