- (1)
- The dynamic recrystallization of A356 aluminum alloy occurred during the thermoplastic deformation.
- (2)
- A dynamic recrystallization model based on Arrhenius type equation was developed to calculate the dynamic recrystallization fraction of the A356 alloy. There was a good agreement between the predicted and experimental dynamic recrystallization fraction.
- (3)
- The model was inserted into the FEM software Forge to simulate the microstructure evolution of A356 alloy during isothermal deformation. The maximum error between simulated and experimental dynamic recrystallization fraction is less than 3.0%.
