Abstract

The hot deformation behavior of GH625 is investigated by a compression test in the temperature range of 950-1150 °C and the strain rate of 10−3-5 s−1. It is found that the flow stress behavior is described by the hyperbolic sine constitutive equation with average activation energy of 421 kJ/mol. Through the flow stresses’ curves, the processing maps are constructed and analyzed according to the dynamic materials model. In the processing map, the variation of the efficiency of the power dissipation is plotted as a function of temperature and strain rate, and the maps exhibit a significant feature with a domain of dynamic recrystallization occurring at the temperature range of 950-1150 °C and in the strain rate range of 0.005-0.13 s−1, which are the optimum parameters for hot working of the alloy. Meanwhile, the instability zones of flow behavior can also be recognized by the maps.
