This paper presents a microstructure sensitive model for predicting mechanical response and texture evolution of metals in the dynamic recrystallization regime. A recently proposed viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) formulation for the prediction of recrystallization driven by strain energy and intragranular misorientation is extended to hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals. The model is applied to the dynamic recrystallization of magnesium alloy WE43 at different temperatures and strain rates. Model predictions in terms of stress-strain response and texture evolution are compared to the experimental measurements and acceptable agreement is achieved. According to the model predictions, superplastic behavior of nuclei was found to be the dominant softening mechanism at high temperatures and low strain rates. High concentration of precipitates at the grain boundaries and presence of alloying elements are the likely causes of low boundary mobility, resulting in nucleation dominated dynamic recrystallization. Relatively strong basal compression textures indicate dominant activity of basal slip, which can be achieved only through large difference in slip resistance between soft basal and hard prismatic and pyramidal modes.
