The present study focuses on the completely recrystallized grain growth of NiCrMoV steel.All the samples were austenitised at 1250℃ for 5min,and then were compressed with strain rate of 0.01s^(-1) and finial strain of 0.8.Once the compression completed,the specimens were held for different time before water quenching.Based on the experimental results,the completely recrystallized grain growth model was established and the effects of temperature and holding time on austenite grain size were investigated.Comparison between the experimental and predicted results was carried out.A good agreement between the experimental and predicted results verifies the developed model.
In order to perform numerical simulation of forging and determine the hot deformation processing parameters for 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel, the compressive deformation behaviors of 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel were investigated at the temperatures from 970 to 1270 ℃ and strain rates from 0. 001 to 0.1 s-1 on a Gleeble-3500 thermo-mechanical simulator. The flow stress constitutive equations of the work hardening-dynamical recovery period and dynamical recrystallization period were established for 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel. The stress-strain curves of 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel predicted by the proposed model well agreed with experimental results, which confirmed that the proposed equations can be used to determine the hot deformation processing parameters for 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel.
