High-temperature deformation of delta-processed Inconel 718

A classic dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior was observed in the flow curves, which is typical of low-medium stacking fault energy (SFE) alloys. This flow behavior was modeled according to various approaches. Peak stress modeling was performed using two different approaches, referred to as 'apparent' and 'physically-based'. The hot-flow behavior before the peak stress was modeled according to the Estrin-Mecking-Bergstrom approach, with Avrami kinetics employed to describe the DRX behavior.
