Abstract
Two important parameters for dynamic recrystallisation can be derived from changes in the strain hardening rate: the critical strain for initiation of dynamic recrystallisation and the point of maximum softening. In the present work, these values are determined from stress–strain data obtained by compression testing over the range of 900–1100°C. The resulting strains are used to derive a kinetic model of dynamic recrystallisation for two materials: 304 austenitic stainless steel and a hypereutectoid plain carbon steel. The values of the mechanical parameters used to define the proposed model are confirmed with the aid of metallographic analysis of the recrystallised microstructures.
