Abstract

The hot deformation characteristics of hot-pressed nickel-based superalloy were investigated by employing hot compression experiments over the temperatures range of 1050–1200 °C and the strain rates range of 0.001–10 s−1 under true strain of 0.7. The constitutive relationship was established considering Zener–Hollomon parameter, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) critical model and kinetic model based on the flow stress data corrected by friction and adiabatic heating. The hot deformation activation energy was calculated to be 577.45 kJ/mol, the results show that the flow stress predicted by the constitutive equation is in good agreement with the experimental data, and the DRX kinetic model matched well with the microstructure analyzed by electron backscatter diffraction technique. The three-dimensional distribution of power dissipation efficiency taking the influence of strain into account and processing maps were constructed to further delineate the intrinsic workability of alloy. Combined with microstructure observation, it is recommended that the optimum hot working windows were identified in the samples deformed within 1160–1190 °C /0.05–0.819 s−1, 1130–1165 °C /0.0025–0.05 s−1 and 1055–1085 °C /0.011–0.135 s−1; homogeneous and fine equiaxed microstructures can be found in this domain mainly due to the appearance of DRX.
