Hot compression deformation behavior and processing maps of ATI 718Plus superalloy

In this work, hot compression deformation behavior and processing maps of ATI 718Plus superalloy were studied by isothermal compression test on Gleeble-3800 thermal simulation testing machine. The results showed that under the present conditions (with deformation temperature range of 1030-1180 degrees C, strain rate of 0.01-10 s(-1) and deformation amount of 50%), flow stress decreased with the increasing of deformation temperature and decreasing of strain rates. Meanwhile, simplified and strain-compensated classical Arrhenius constitutive equation models were established respectively, and strain-compensated constitutive equation improves the accuracy of flow stress prediction. In addition, processing maps showed that the optimal hot processing parameter ranges were 1140-1180 degrees C with strain rate of 0.01 -0.1 s(-1) respectively. The effects of strain rate and deformation temperature on microstructure evolution was investigated and low strain rate and high deformation temperature are conductive to DRX. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
