Modeling Recrystallization of Austenite for C—Mn Steels during Hot Deformation by Cellular Automaton

By using a cellular automaton method, microstructure evolution of recrystallization in austenite during hot deformation was simulated for C-Mn steels. A model takes into account the influence of deformation temperature, strain, and strain rate on the dynamic recrystallization fraction, and the effect of the keeping time on the static recrystallization fraction based on a hot deformation test on a Gleeble-1500 simulator. In addition, the size changing of γ grains during continuous hot deformation was simulated by applying the model.
