Abstract

A numerical analysis was performed to study the influence of process parameters on the microstructure evolution of IN718 alloy in rotary forging using the finite element method (FEM). For this purpose, a constitutive equation considering the effects of strain hardening and dynamic softening of IN718 alloy was built. The constitutive equation and microstructure models were implemented into the finite element code to investigate the microstructure evolution during rotary forging subject to large deformations. The simulations were carried out in the ratio of initial height to diameter range 0.2–0.8, the angle of the rocker 3°-7° and the relative feed per revolution range 0.01–0.1 r−1. The research results revealed the deformation mechanism and the correlation of process parameters with the grain size evolution of IN718 alloy during rotary forging. These provide evidence for the selection of rotary forging parameters.
