The high temperature deformation behavior of microalloyed hot forging steels has been examined as a function of the temperature, the strain rate, and the alloying element by using high temperature compression test. The high temperature deformation mechanism, which was obtained by analyzing the flow stress-strain curve and microstructure, could be considered to dynamic recrystallization. The peak stress of Nb-V-Mo steel was more increased and the dynamic recrystallization of Nb-V-Mo steel was faster than those of Nb-V steel. The peak stress of 1.2Mn-0.09Nb steel was more increased and the dynamic recrystallization of 1.2Mn-0.09Nb was delayed a little bit than those of 1.0Mn-0.05Nb. The peak stress of C-Nb-V steel was more increased and the dynamic recrystallization of C-Nb-V steel was delayed than those of C-steel. The constitutive equation of high temperature deformation had a power law type. The grain size of dynamic recrystallization was refined as the Zener-Hollomon parameter was increased. The relation of the dynamic recrystallization grain size and Zener-Hollomon parameter could be quantified to power law.

Behavior of dynamic/static recrystallization during hot deformation of Cast alloy 718 was investigated. For this purpose, hot compression test and FE-simulation were conducted via Thermecmaster-Z and DEFORM-3D, respectively. The microstructural evolution during hot compression and post heat-treatment was investigated and deformation mechanism were analyzed by stress-strain curve, FE-simulation and microstructure. FE-simulation results show that the temperature difference between top-die and billet has considerable influence on the final shape of compressed specimen. The relation between applied load and processing time was predicted by the FE-simulation.

The present study deals with the effects of micro-alloying elements such as Ni, V, and Ti on the recrystallization behavior of carbon steels at different strain rates. Eight steel specimens were fabricated by varying the chemical composition and reheating temperature; then, a high-temperature compressive deformation test was conducted in order to investigate the relationship of the microstructure and the recrystallization behavior. The specimens containing micro-alloying elements had smaller prior austenite grain sizes than those of the other specimens, presumably due to the pinning effect of the formation of carbonitrides and AlN precipitates at the austenite grain boundaries. The high-temperature compressive deformation test results indicate that dynamic recrystallization behavior was suppressed in the specimens with micro-alloying elements, particularly at increased strain rate, because of the pinning effect of precipitates, grain boundary dragging and lattice misfit effects of solute atoms, although the strength increased with increasing strain rate.

A numerical analysis was performed to predict flow curves and dynamic recrystallization behaviors of Al-5wt%Mg alloy on the basis of results of hot compression tests. The hot compression tests were carred out in the ranges of 350 ~ 500 ${^\circ}C$ and 5 ${\times}{10^-3}$ ~ 3 ${\times}{10^0}$/sec to obtain the Zener-Hollomon parameter Z. The modelling equation for flow stress was a function of strain, strain rate, temperature. The influence of these variables was quantifield using the Zener-Hollomon parameter. In the modelling equation, the effects of strain hardening and dynamic recrystallization were taken into consideration. Therefore, the modelling stress-strain curves of Al-5wt%Mg alloy were in good agreement with experimental results. Finally, the dynamic recrystallization kinetics were illustrated through the inspection of microstructure after deformation.

Recrystallization behavior during ingot-breakdown process of Alloy 718 was investigated with finite element analysis and experimental approaches. In order to analyze microstructural changes during the cogging process of an Alloy 718 ingot, the side-pressing and heat treatment tests were performed at different temperatures and ram speed. From the side-pressing and heat treatment test results, it was found that microstructural changes during hot forging of Alloy 718 ingot greatly influenced on a close interaction between dynamic and static-recrystallization behaviors. A recrystallization model of Alloy 718 was used to predict the complex microstructural variation during continuous heating and forging processes of the cogging, and the predicted grain size and its distribution were compared with the actual cogged Alloy 718 billet.

The dynamic softening mechanisms of AISI 316, AISI 304 and AISI 430 stainless steels were studied with torsion test in the temperature range of $900 - 1200^{\circ}C$ and the strain rate range of $5.0x10^{-2}-5.0x10^0/sec$. The austenitic stainless steels, such as AISI 316 and AISI 304 were softened by dynamic recrystallization (DRX) during hot deformation. Also, the evolutions of flow stress and microstructure of AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel show the characteristics of continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). To establish the quantitative equations for DRX of AISI 316 stainless steel, the evolution of flow stress curve with strain was analyzed. The critical strain (${\varepsilon}_c$) and strain for maximum softening rate (${\varepsilon}^{*}$) could be confirmed by the analysis of work hardening rate ($d{\sigma}/d{\varepsilon}={\theta}$). The volume fraction of dynamic recrystallization ($X_{DRX}$) as a function of processing variables, such as strain rate ( $\varepsilon$ ), temperature (T), and strain ( $\varepsilon$ ) were established using the ${\epsilon}_c$ and ${\varepsilon}^{*}$. For the exact prediction the ${\varepsilon}_c,\;{\varepsilon}^{*}$ and Avrami' exponent (m') were quantitatively expressed by dimensionless parameter, Z/A, respectively. It was found that the calculated results were agreed with the experimental data for the steels at my deformation conditions. Also, we can reasonably conclude that the DRX, CDRX and grain refinement of stainless steels can be achieved by large strain deformation at high Z parameter condition.

The high temperature deformation behavior of SiCp/2124Al composite and 2124Al alloy was investigated by hot compression test in a temperature ranged $400~475^{\circ}C$ over a strain rate ranged $10^{-3}~1s^{-1}$. The billets of 2124Al alloy and SiCp/2124Al composite were fabricated by vacuum hot pressing process. The stress-strain curve during high temperature deformation exhibited a peak stress, and then the flow stress decreased gradually into a steady state stress with increasing the strain. It was found that the flow-softening behavior was attributed to the dynamic recovery, local dynamic recrystallization and dynamic precipitation during the deformation. The precipitation phases were identified as S' and S by TEM diffraction pattern. Base on the TEM inspection, the relationship between the Z-H parameter and subgrain size was found based on the experiment data. The dependence of flow stress on temperature and strain rate could be formulated well by a hyperbolic-sinusoidal relationship using the Zener-Hollomon parameter.

Dynamic recrystallization (DRX), which may occur during hot deformation, is important for the microsturctural evolution of 304 stainless steel. Especially, the current interest in modelling hot rolling demands quantitative relationships among the thermomechanical process variables, such as strain, temperature, strain rate, and etc. Thus, this paper individually presents the relationships for flow stress and volume fraction of DRX as a function of processing variables using torsion tests. The hot torsion tests of 304 stainless steel were performed at the temperature range of 900~110$0^{\circ}C$ and the strain rate range of 5x10-2~5s-1 to study the high temperature softening behavior. For the exact prediction of flow stress, the equation was divided into two regions, the work hardening (WH) and dynamic recovery (DRV) region and the DRX region. Especially, The flow stress of DRX region could be expressed by using the volume fraction of DRX (XDRX). Since XDRX was consisted of the critical strain($\varepsilon$c) for initiation of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and the strain for maximum softening rate ($\varepsilon$*), that were related with the evolution of microstructure. The calculated results predicted the flow stress and the microstructure of the alloy at any deformation conditions well.

The dynamic softening behavior of type 430 ferritic stainless steel could be characterized by the hot torsion test in the temperature range of 900-110$0^{\circ}C$ and the strain rate range of 0.05-5/sec. It is found that the continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) was a major dynamic softening mechanism. The effects of process variables strain ($\varepsilon$) stain rate($\varepsilon$)and temperature (T) on CDRX could be individually established from the analysis of flow stress curves and microstructure. The effect of CDRX individually established from the analysis of flow stress curves and microstructure. The effect of CDRX increased with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature in continuous deformation. The multipass deformation processes were performed with 10 pass deformations. The CDRX effect occurred in multipass deformatioon. The grain refinement could be achieved from multipass deformation The grain refinement increased with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature. Also the CDRX in multipass deformation was affected by interpass time and pass strain. The total strain was to be found key parameter to occur CDRX.

The torsion tests in the range of 900~1100$^{\circ}C$ and 5.0X10-2~5.0X100/sec were performed to study the high temperasture deformation behavior kinetics of 304 stainless steels. The flow curves and microstructures exhibited the characteristic of dynamic recrystallization(DRX). The relationship between the critical strain($\varepsilon$c) for the initiation of dynamic recrystallization and the peak strain($\varepsilon$p) could be expressed as $\varepsilon$c=0.73$\varepsilon$p. The dependence of the flow stress on temperature(T) and stain rate($\varepsilon$) was expressed by hyperbolic sine law, $\varepsilon$=2.75X1014 (sinh 0.076$\sigma$)5.26 exp(-379.55kJ/mol). Under the Zener-Hollomon parameter, Z value of 1013 order, it was found that the grain size was 20${\mu}$m. The relationship between the grain size, dDRX and Z parameter was expressed as dDRX =139.48-7.33 log Z.
