Summary: In this study, Ti-17 alloy undergoes microstructural modifications during thermomechanical treatment, with a focus on plastic deformation in both one phase and two phases domain. Hot compression tests at varying temperatures and strain rates were conducted, with metallographic observations done using SEM-EBSD. A physically-based model was developed to describe deformation mechanisms such as dynamic recovery, continuous dynamic recrystallisation, and dynamic globularization of the alpha-phase. Flow stresses, dislocation densities, and phase sizes were predicted based on strain rate and temperature, with high strain rates promoting finer subgrains of beta and less globularization of alpha-phase. Additionally, flow softening in the alpha + beta domain was attributed to a change in load transfer mechanism due to dynamic globularization of the alpha-phase.

Summary: Tensile twins (TTs) were induced in hot-rolled AZ31 Mg sheets through hot tension. The volume fraction of TTs at 2 mm/min is significantly lower than at 0.5 mm/min and at 100°C and 200°C. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) reduces twin nucleation rate at a strain rate of 2 mm/min. Grain boundaries impede the longitudinal growth of TTs, resulting in fine TT lamellae at 100°C-0.5 mm/min. Tensile temperature affects the morphology of TT lamellae and significantly influences the hardness and strength of the samples.

Summary: This study investigates the features and evolution mechanism of {11 (2) over bar1} twin boundaries in a high strain rate compressed Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.4Zr alloy using Schmid factor calculations, EBSD, and TEM analysis. The interaction between basal < a > dislocations and twins during deformation can lead to misorientation deviation and the formation of steps at the twin boundary, providing a new understanding of twinning behavior in Mg alloys.

Summary: The study investigated the correlation between microstructure/texture evolutions and high temperature flow behavior in Mg alloy containing long period stacking order (LPSO) phases. The annealing treatment effectively strengthened the alloy and decreased ductility, with blocky LPSO assisting dynamic recrystallization and lamellar LPSO increasing alloy strength. The findings suggest that microstructure and texture evolution play a significant role in the high-temperature behavior of the Mg alloy.

Summary: Dynamic extrusion is a promising method to improve both strength and ductility in magnesium alloys by introducing high-density extension twins and dislocation structures. Annealing after dynamic extrusion enhances strain hardening and strength, with high-density twins promoting more dislocation nucleation and offering additional slip systems for improved ductility. This study suggests that increasing twin density through dynamic extrusion can enhance the mechanical properties of magnesium alloys efficiently.

Summary: The microstructure evolution and dynamic recrystallisation behavior of Haynes 214 superalloy were investigated under different deformation temperatures and strain rates. The results showed that temperature and strain rate have significant effects on the hot deformation behavior of Haynes 214 alloy. The fraction and grain size of dynamic recrystallisation increase with increasing deformation temperature. Fine and uniform dynamic recrystallisation grains are obtained at low and high strain rates, while the grain size and fraction decrease at a strain rate of 1 s(-1). Continuous and discontinuous dynamic recrystallisation occur during hot deformation and are influenced by strain rate and deformation temperature. The fraction of Sigma 3 (n) (n = 1, 2, 3) twin boundary increases with temperature and is higher at lower and higher strain rates, but lower at an intermediate strain rate of 1 s(-1).

Summary: A dynamic recrystallisation (DRX) viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) model was developed in this study to predict the continuous DRX and twin-assisted DRX behavior within an AZ31 magnesium alloy at temperatures ranging from 25 degrees C to 200 degrees C. The model combines temperature sensitivity with a dislocation density hardening law and a composite twin grain model to predict the activated deformation modes and their influence on the DRX mechanism. Validation was done using experimental data on a hot-rolled AZ31 Mg alloy deformed at different temperatures under uniaxial tensile loads along different orientations. Additionally, a parametric study was conducted to explore the influence of grain size, dislocation density, and crystallographic orientation on DRX kinetics and material behavior.

Summary: In this study, the hot workability of Mg-1Li-1Al (LA11) alloy was evaluated through a uniaxial compression test. The flow stress was found to increase with higher strain rates and lower deformation temperatures, and a constitutive equation was established based on the hyperbolic sine equation. The activation energy was determined to be 116.5 kJ/mol, and the dynamic recrystallization mechanism was investigated using the Avrami equation. The relationship between DRX volume fraction and deformation parameter was verified based on microstructure evolution.

Summary: Uniaxial and plane strain compression tests were conducted on Cu-Cr-Zr-Ti alloy specimens to examine the influence of deformation mode on stress-strain response, work hardening behavior, and microstructural evolution. The results showed that the alloy exhibited a transition from recovery stage to steady state under uniaxial compression, while a smooth transition was observed under plane strain compression. Additionally, the microstructures evolved differently under the two compression modes.
