Hot compression tests of modified 2.25Cr–1Mo steel were conducted on a Gleeble-3500 thermo-mechanical simulator at the temperatures ranging from 1173 to 1473 K with the strain rate of 0.01–10 s−1 and the height reduction of 60%. Based on the experimental results, an artificial neural network (ANN) model and constitutive equations were developed to predict the hot deformation behavior of modified 2.25Cr–1Mo steel. A comparative evaluation of the constitutive equations and the ANN model was carried out. It was found that the relative errors based on the ANN model varied from −4.63% to 2.23% and those were in the range from −20.48% to 12.11% by using the constitutive equations, and the average root mean square errors were 0.62 MPa and 7.66 MPa corresponding to the ANN model and constitutive equations, respectively. These results showed that the well-trained ANN model was more accurate and efficient in predicting the hot deformation behavior of modified 2.25Cr–1Mo steel than the constitutive equations.
► The hot deformation behavior of modified 2.25Cr–1Mo steel was investigated.
► The ANN model and constitutive equations were employed to predict the flow stress.
► It showed that the ANN model had a better prediction precision.
