Abstract

This work is motivated by the fact that the microstructures of nickel-based alloy forged parts influenced by hot deformation have a great impact on the mechanical properties of their final parts. In this paper, a simplified 2D half-symmetry FE model embedded with the JMAK model is developed to predict the deformation characteristics and microstructure behaviors of an IN718 aeroengine drum in hot forging procedure and then verified by experiments. Moreover, based on two evaluation indexes, the distribution uniformities and general levels of effective strain, strain rate, temperature, dynamic recrystallization, and grain size within the forged IN718 alloy drum are analyzed quantitatively. The results suggest that unlike strain rate and grain size, the maximum values of effective strain, temperature, and dynamic recrystallization volume fraction are located at the internal wall of the forged drum, and their distribution uniformities become worse with the increment of forging strokes. Besides, the Xavg and davg show an opposite evolution trend as increasing forging strokes, which are mainly related to the increments of εavg and Tavg as well as the grain refinement of dynamic recrystallization.
