- The deformation behavior was characterized by an activation energy of 415 kJ/mol and was accompanied by discontinuous DRX with the most frequent cycles during deformation at temperature and strain rate of approx. 1000 °C and 10−3 s−1, respectively.
- Both the DRX grain size and the dislocation density could be expressed by power law functions of temperature-compensated strain rate, Z, with exponents of −0.25 and 0.1, respectively.
- Analogously, a power law function was obtained for the peak flow stress and the DRX grain size with a grain size exponent of −0.9. The peak flow stress in the range below about 300 MPa, i.e., under hot working conditions, could be related to the dislocation density with a power law function with an exponent of 1.4, which tended to decrease to about 0.5 on increasing the flow stress to well above 300 MPa, i.e., in the range of cold-to-warm working.
- The obtained stress dependencies for the DRX grain size and dislocation densities result in a unique power law function for the dislocation density versus the DRX grain size with an exponent of −0.5.
- The revealed relationships between the flow stress, the grain size, and the dislocation density are applicable for deformation microstructures with different DRX fractions that evolved over a wide range of deformation conditions with various DRX kinetics.
