Workshop onMean Field Modelling forDiscontinuous Dynamic Recrystallization Fréjus Summer School Recrystallization Mechanisms in Materials David PIOT
Workshop on Mean-Field Modelling Introduction • Motivation • Illustration of mean-field modelling dedicated to discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) • Theoretical derivations related to ergodicity • Outline • How to average dislocation densities? How to keep constant the volume? • How to test an assumption about the dependency of parameters? • Impact of the constitutive equation choice David PIOT
Abstract 1/3Structure of a mean-field model for DDRX • Mean-field = mesoscopic description • Description at the grain scale • Inhomogeneities at microscopic scale are averaged • Dislocation density homogeneous within each grain • Localization / Homogenization • Assumptions to simplify (but not mandatory) • No topological features • Distribution of spherical grains of various diameters • Localization: Taylor assumption David PIOT
Abstract 2/3Structure of a mean-field model for DDRX • Variables for describing microstrcurure • As no stochastic is considered, all grains of a given age have the same diameter and dislocation density because they have undergone identical evolution → one-parameter (nucleation time t) distributions (for non initial grains) David PIOT
Abstract 3/3Structure of a mean-field model for DDRX • Evolution of grain-property distributions • 1. Equation for strain hardening and dynamic recovery giving the evolution of dislocation densities • 2. Equation for the grain-boundary migration governing grain growth or shrinkage • 3. A nucleation model predicting the rate of new grains • 4. Disappearance of the oldest grains included in (2) when their diameter vanishes David PIOT
1. Strain hardening and dynamic recovery • Constitutive model for • Strain hardening • Dynamic recovery • In the absence of recrystallization • General equation • Each grain behaviour is described by the same equation • Several laws can be used, e.g.: • The parameters are temperature and strain-rate dependent David PIOT
matrix matrix D 2. Grain-boundary migration • Mean-field model • Each grain is inter-acting with an equiv-alent homogeneousmatrix • Migration equation • M grain-boundary mobility, T line energy of dislocations David PIOT
3. Nucleation equation • Various nucleation models available • “Simplest” equation tentative • Nucleation of new grains (t = t) is assumed to be proportional to the grain-boundary surface • Here, p = 3 is assumed • It is the unique integer value for p compatible with experimental Derby exponent d in the relationship between grain size and stress at steady state using the closed-form equation between p and d in the power law case David PIOT
