RESUMO
Yield strength and toughness in steels are directly associated with hot forging processes, especially by controlling austenitic grain size and cooling conditions. The phenomenological JMAK model in macroscale has been applied in different material classes to predict grain size after hot forming. However, on an industrial application, there is still a lack of understanding concerning the synergic effects of strain rate and temperature on recrystallization. This preliminary study aimed at investigating the applicability of coupled semi-empirical JMAK and visco-elastoplastic models in numerical simulation to predict austenitic grain size (PAGS). Hot forging of cylindrical samples of a ferritic-perlitic DIN 20MnCr5 steel was performed followed by water quenching. The main influences, such as temperature, strain and strain rate fields following the recrystallization model were investigated using the subroutine of FORGE NxT 2.1 software. The results were evaluated by comparing experimentally measured and simulated PAGS at process end. The forging process generates different strain and strain rate fields in the workpiece, which in turn lead to a variation in the PAGS and recrystallization fractions. The simulation was able to detect the PAGS variation showing a good agreement between the experimental forging results and the applied model.
