Construction of meta-dynamic recrystallization dynamic model of 316L stainless steel based on grain orientation spread during continuous variable rate thermal deformation

Because the deformation parameters (temperature, strain rate) in the actual manufacturing process are non-constant. We investigate meta-dynamic recrystallization behavior under the transient mutation state. First, based on a single-pass thermal deformation experiment and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique, this study establishes a quantitative calculation method for the volume fraction of meta-dynamic recrystallization under different deformation conditions, and find the GOS threshold basis for judging the occurrence of meta-dynamic recrystallization. Comparing the experimental results with the numerical simulation results, it is found that the MDRX behavior of the material could be accurately described. The meta-dynamic recrystallization evolution law of the material in the thermal deformation insulation stage under the variable strain rate state is investigated by continuous variable rate thermal deformation experiment and numerical simulation. It is observed that an increase of the average strain rate in the continuous variable strain rate state would promote the meta-dynamic recrystallization softening behavior of the material in comparison with the steady state deformation stage, and vice versa.
