Description

Aluminum alloy microstructure simulation method and system based on cellular automaton method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of microstructure simulation, and particularly discloses an aluminum alloy microstructure simulation method and system based on a cellular automaton method.
Background
Various microstructure simulation methods provide a quick, economical and effective way for researching the evolution behavior of the material recrystallization structure. In recent years, the development of a multiscale computing and simulation method based on materialization is rapid, and a plurality of researchers from an atomic scale, a mesoscale to a macroscopic scale have conducted multi-angle deep research on the aspects of material performance prediction, material tissue evolution, microstructure visualization and the like by adopting methods such as a first sex principle, molecular dynamics, discrete dislocation dynamics, continuous dislocation dynamics, crystal plasticity finite element, macroscopic finite element simulation and the like.
Based on the comprehensive research results of the existing microstructure simulation, the Monte Carlo method, the phase field method and the cellular automaton method are mainly adopted at present. Although a plurality of scholars at home and abroad simulate microstructure evolution of the thermal deformation process of various aluminum alloys under different process conditions by adopting a Monte Carlo method, a phase field method and a cellular automaton method, the cellular automaton has large calculation scale and high calculation speed, and can well reproduce microstructure evolution behavior of the thermal processing process. Therefore, the cellular automaton (Cellular Automata, CA for short) based on physical experiments provides an effective means for researching the evolution rule of the material tissue.
At present, many researchers abroad and domestically explore the method for simulating thermal deformation or recrystallization behavior in the heat treatment process by using a cellular automaton.
1) Current state of research abroad
Many researchers abroad have conducted studies on the simulation of the microstructure of materials. For example Yazdipour N et al employ Cellular Automata (CA) to simulate Dynamic Recrystallization (DRX) evolution during thermal deformation; sitko M et al simulate the effect of dynamic recrystallization process time step and cell size on the CA model simulation process by CA. Yanfeng L et al, on the basis of CA simulation theory, established a three-dimensional cellular automaton model for grain growth from the aspects of grain orientation, grain size distribution, grain growth dynamics, grain topology, and the like. Bararpour et Al predict the dynamic recrystallization structure of Al-Mg alloy by using cellular automaton model, and obtain temperature and strain rate results by combining cellular automaton model and three-dimensional finite element model, and predict the microstructure of the coating. In addition to using CA to simulate a dynamic recrystallization process, CA may also be used to simulate a static recrystallization process. The MukhopadhyP and the like establish a static recrystallization CA model, and the model adopts an extensible subgrid technology, can effectively track local changes in the recrystallization process, and comprises grain boundary nucleation, transition zone nucleation and particle drive nucleation.
De Jaeger J et al adopts a three-dimensional cellular automaton method to couple a crystal finite element model with a recrystallization model and apply the crystal finite element model to a three-dimensional compression deformation polycrystalline aggregate, which comprehensively shows the coupling effect between microscopic grain evolution and macroscopic deformation.
Foreign scholars combine cellular automata with various algorithms to simulate static recrystallization organization. For example, MADANI MITRA simulated Static Recrystallization (SRX) during non-isothermal annealing using a new and improved Probability Cellular Automaton (PCA) model. Sitko Mateusz proposes a new grain nucleation adaptive algorithm that is insensitive to CA space size and is suitable for use in a simple SRX grain nucleation process. HASHEMI SEPIDEH under the framework of machine learning, a simulated dataset was generated using a cellular automaton method demonstrating the temporal evolution of microstructure during static recrystallization of Face Centered Cubic (FCC) polycrystalline materials. Amir Asgharzadeh a dynamic model of Static Recrystallization (SRX) of fluid formed steel pipes based on the Cellular Automaton (CA) method was established.
2) Current state of domestic research
Many scholars in China have made many researches on the simulation of the microstructure of the aluminum alloy by the cellular automaton. For example, wang Yongjian establishes a dynamic recrystallization model of a single-phase material and a material containing second-phase particles, and simulates the effect of two-phase particles on dynamic recrystallization behavior by using a cellular automaton method. Shen Gang [30] establishes a coupling model of a deformation Crystal Plastic Finite Element (CPFEM) and a Cellular Automaton (CA) of the multiphase polycrystalline material, and simulates the influence of different annealing temperatures, heating rates, heat preservation time and the like on microstructure evolution. In summary, the use of cellular automata in the field of recrystallization simulation is gradually approaching maturity. Zhang Jie et al established a microstructure evolution CA model during thermal deformation of 7085 aluminum alloys, with initial structure and thermodynamic parameters as input data to the CA model, and dislocation density as internal state variables. The feasibility and predictability of the CA model were verified by experimental data. Liu Lei et al determined that the primary softening mechanism of 2219 aluminum alloy during heat deformation was Continuous Dynamic Recrystallization (CDRX). The microstructure forming method of initial equiaxed crystal and local sub-crystal dispersion is provided, and CDRX in the thermal deformation process of 2219 aluminum alloy is simulated on a Matlab platform.
In addition, domestic scholars have made many studies on static recrystallization organization prediction. For example, tang Xiaole adopts a cellular automaton method to simulate the evolution of static recrystallization structure and texture and analyze the nucleation and grain growth characteristics and the variation trend of energy and grain boundary, but dislocation density and subgrain variation in the deformation process are not led into the cellular automaton, so that the coupling calculation of thermal deformation and heat treatment process is difficult to realize, and the whole deformation recrystallization process is difficult to accurately predict. Guo Yina uses as research object 42CrMo steel as casting state, adopts CA method to simulate static recrystallization grain growth process, describes and analyzes simulated grain morphology from multiple angles of grain size, grain edge number and grain relative area distribution, optimizes grain topology deformation technology, but the recrystallization model is based on grain boundary bow theory, is only suitable for simple recrystallization mechanism of steel material, and is not suitable for complex recrystallization mechanism of aluminum alloy material. Although, many scholars currently conduct researches on the simulation of the evolution of the recrystallization structure of a material from different angles by adopting a cellular automaton method. However, the CA method simulates little and no improvement in microstructure evolution exploration during deformation of aluminum alloys. The first research work on aluminum alloys has been focused on improving formability and optimizing mechanical properties. In addition, dislocation movement promotes dynamic recovery to occur in the thermal deformation process of the aluminum lithium alloy, so that a polygonal structure and a sub-crystal are formed; dynamic recrystallization occurs as deformation continues, forming recrystallized grains; static reversion and static recrystallization also occur during the heat treatment process, forming static recrystallized grains. Thus, the microstructure evolution mechanism of the aluminum-lithium alloy material in the thermoplastic deformation process is very complex.
Although many scholars at home and abroad simulate the microstructure evolution of the thermal deformation process of the aluminum alloy under different process conditions by adopting a cellular automaton method, the traditional simulation is based on the traditional crystal boundary bowing theory, and the coupling effect between the recovery behavior and the intra-crystal recrystallization behavior of the aluminum alloy is ignored. The existing recrystallization simulation system does not comprehensively consider the synergistic effect among dislocation, sub-crystal, dynamic recrystallization and static recrystallization grains, so that the traditional recrystallization simulation method cannot accurately reveal the recrystallization evolution rule in the thermal deformation process of the aluminum-lithium alloy, cannot truly reflect the actual microstructure, and influences the reality and accuracy of the simulation result, thereby limiting the deep development of simulation research work of the aluminum-lithium alloy recrystallization microstructure. In addition, a system grain structure evolution simulation platform is lacking in the process of simulating the aluminum lithium alloy recrystallization structure evolution at present, and the system grain structure evolution simulation platform is difficult to adapt to aluminum lithium alloy material research and development and process experiments.

CA simulation related parameter calculation of aluminum alloy microstructure
(1) Calculation of k 1、k2
During dynamic reversion, dislocation density work hardens the accumulated dislocation density and the consumed dislocation density composition of the dynamic reversion. First, as can be seen from equation (1), the rheological stress σ is proportional to μb ρ 1/2, from which the dislocation density σ at a specific time is calculated.
σ=αμbρ1/2 (1)
In formula (1), σ represents the rheological stress, α represents the material constant, equal to 0.5, μ represents the shear modulus, b represents the berger vector, and ρ represents the dislocation density.

And (3) carrying out integral solution on the formula (2) to obtain a dislocation density expression in the dynamic recovery process, wherein the dislocation density expression is shown in the formula (3).
In equation (3), k 1 is the work hardening coefficient associated with the statistically stored dislocations for heat accumulation; k 2 is the dynamic recovery thermal activation coefficient; ρ 0 is the corresponding initial dislocation density at strain 0; ρ def represents dislocation density during deformation and ε represents strain.
In formula (4), ρ def is the dislocation density during deformation, k 1 is the work hardening coefficient, k 2 is the work hardening coefficient, ε is the strain, ρ 0 is the initial dislocation density corresponding to the strain of 0; σ sat is the saturation stress; σ 0 is the initial stress; alpha represents a material constant equal to 0.5; mu is the shear modulus; b is a berger vector. σ 0 is the initial stress, which can be calculated by σ 0=αμbρ0/2; σ sat is the saturation stress; σ def is the same as the true stress before dynamic recrystallization occurs; k 2 can be obtained by linear fitting of-2 ln [ (sigma satdef)/(σsat0) ] to epsilon.
In equation (5), σ sat is the saturation stress, α represents the material constant, equal to 0.5, μ represents the shear modulus, b represents the berg vector, and k 1 is the work hardening coefficient related to the statistically stored dislocation of heat accumulation; k 2 is the dynamic recovery thermal activation coefficient.
In order to calculate the work hardening coefficient k 1 and the dynamic recovery coefficient k 2, it is critical to determine the saturation stress σ sat before the recrystallization starts from the stress strain curve. The recrystallization critical stress σ c and the saturation stress σ sat can be obtained by a work hardening rate θ versus stress σ curve. Accordingly, the work hardening coefficient k 1 and the dynamic recovery coefficient k 2 are obtained by a linear fitting method.
(2) Calculation of K soft
The introduction of the dynamic recrystallization softening factor K soft into the dislocation density model (equation 2), the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization process dislocation density ρ drx can be expressed as:
In formula (6), ρ drx represents the dislocation density of the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization process, ε represents the strain, and k 1 is the work hardening coefficient related to the statistically stored dislocations of heat accumulation; k 2 is the dynamic recovery thermal activation coefficient; k soft represents a dynamic recrystallization softening factor.
The softening factor K soft has a value in the range 0<K soft<k1, which represents the dislocation density consumed by the large angle grain boundary migration.
Steady state stress σ ss is the stress value at which work hardening, dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization reach dynamic equilibrium. Thus, the softening factor K soft can be calculated by σ ss=αμb(k1-Ksoft)/k2 as shown in formula (7).
Ksoft=11.5×108-3.79×107×lnZ (7)
In the formula (7), K soft represents a dynamic recrystallization softening factor, and Z represents a Zener-Hollomon parameter, that is, a Zener-solomon parameter, which can be obtained specifically by the following formula.
Wherein, Is the strain rate, Q is the deformation activation energy, T is the deformation temperature, R is the air constant, 8.314, unit J/mol K.
(3) Calculating the maximum dislocation density ρ max
In formula (9), ρ max represents the maximum dislocation density, and k 1 is the work hardening coefficient related to the statistically stored dislocations of heat accumulation; k 2 is the dynamic recovery heat activation coefficient and K soft is the dynamic recrystallization softening factor.
(4) Calculating maximum storage energy E max
Emax=τ×ρmax (10)
In formula (10), E max represents the maximum stored energy, τ represents the shear stress, ρ max represents the maximum dislocation density.
The dislocation density in the new crystal grain is set to be the initial dislocation density ρ initial, close to 0.
(5) Predicting stress in deformation process of aluminum-lithium alloy
In the formula (11), σ drx represents stress during deformation of the aluminum-lithium alloy, σ ss represents steady-state stress, α represents material constant, equal to 0.5, μ represents shear modulus, b represents a berg vector, ρ initial represents initial dislocation density inside new crystal grains, k 2 represents dynamic recovery thermal activation coefficient, ε represents strain, ε crit is equal to ε c, and the recrystallization critical strain is obtained.
(6) Calculation of the recrystallization critical energy storage E c
When the grain energy storage reaches the recrystallization critical energy storage, new crystal nuclei begin to form inside the material. The recrystallization critical energy storage corresponding to different deformation conditions is different. When calculating critical energy storage, linear fitting solution can be carried out through the relation between macroscopic strain and microscopic energy storage.
Es=αGb2ρs=τ×ρs (12)
In formulas (12) and (13), es is the stored energy; ec is the recrystallization critical energy storage; c E、nE is the material constant; q E is stored energy activation energy; τ represents the shear stress, α represents the material constant equal to 0.5, g represents the shear modulus, b represents the berger vector, ρ s represents the storage dislocation density.
In formula (14), E c is the recrystallization critical storage, γ LAG is the small angle grain boundary energy; a and b are constants and ε c is the recrystallization critical strain.
(7) Calculation of the recrystallization critical dislocation Density ρ c
In formula (15), ρ c represents the recrystallization critical dislocation density, R c represents the recrystallization critical storage energy, and τ represents the shear stress.
(8) Calculation of grain boundary mobility M
In the process of grain growth, the increase of the average grain size corresponds to the decrease of the total area of the grain boundary, and the grain boundary energy decreases. Grain boundaries can in turn affect grain growth. The grain growth rate is generally expressed by formula (16).

In the formula (20), p is a driving force acting on a unit area, p s is stored energy, p G is grain boundary energy, τ is shear stress, and grain boundary migration driving force p mainly results from reduction of stored energy and grain boundary energy.
