Rheological properties of EP742-ID alloy in the context of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME). Part 1. Results of experimental research

The article covers rheological properties of the EP742-ID alloy in high-temperature compression tests of cylindrical samples with different ratios of similar initial diameters and heights (d0 /h0). The results of experimental research in the temperature range t = 1000÷1150 °C and initial deformation rates ε · 0 = 3·10–2÷3·10–4 s–1 have shown that an increase in compression flow stress with the growth of the d0 /h0 ratio is observed at all temperatures and deformation rates with a linear dependence on the ε · 0 value and the d0 /h0 ratio. The method is proposed to recalculate deformation resistance indicators to the set ratio of similar sizes. Higher compression flow stress is connected with an increase in the coefficient of rigidity of samples and their specific contact surfaces. The dependence of apparent activation energy of alloy plastic deformation (Qdef), its relationship with the phase structure and conditions of the process of γ solid solution dynamic recrystallization is established. In the temperature conditions of the beginning of γ solid solution dynamic recrystallization process (1000–1050 °C) the Qdef value for d0 /h0 = 0,75 samples is 959 kJ/mol. The highest Qdef values for d0 /h0 =  0,75 samples of 1248 and 1790 kJ/mol are observed in the range of temperatures of intensive grain boundary γ ′-phase dissolution and coagulation (1050–1100 °C). Samples with d0 /h0 = 3,0 in this temperature range have Qdef up to 2277 kJ/mol. The apparent activation energy of plastic deformation decreases to 869 kJ/mol in the range of temperatures of homogeneous γ solid solution with grain-boundary primary and secondary carbides (1100–1150 °C). The paper provides the results of alloy sample compression at single and repeated consecutive loading with various times of pauses between deformations. It is shown that meta dynamic recrystallization under experimental conditions does not occur in the γ + γ ′-range, and occurs inertly in the γ-range.
