Abstract:The microstructure simulation during the multi-pass hot rolling of AM50 alloy was studied by DEFORM-3D. The excellent agreement with the experiment observations shows that the present modeling and user routine are feasible for the reproduce of the hot rolling process. The multi-pass hot rolling contributes to the achievement of a uniformly recrystallized microstructure with fine grains in the rolled sheet. The sheet temperature before the finish rolling strongly affects the final grain size, but hardly affects the grain size distribution. This modeling and the user routine also have a potential to be applied in the researches of the other multi-pass hot deformation process.
Key words: Mg alloy; dynamic recrystallization; hot rolling; finite element method
