Modeling of Final Structure Obtained Under High Strain-Rate Deformation

This paper discusses results of experimental research and a model implementation of the hot deformation process in the two-phase region under high strain rate. Hot compression tests were employed to determine the behavior of deformed microalloyed steel over a range of strain rates (1 x 10{sup -3} s{sup -1} - 2.5 x 10{sup 3} s{sup -1}) and temperatures (650 C - 850 C). The thermomechanical history of the material is consequently integrated in the simulation and compared with the experimental results
