Abstract

A processing map for the hot working of nichrome has been developed on the basis of hot compression data in the temperature range 750-1200 °C and strain-rate range $0.0003-100\hspace{2mm} s^{-1}$. The map exhibits a domain of dynamic recrystallization with a peak efficiency of 38% occurring at 1200 °C and $0.1\hspace{2mm} s^{-1}$, which are the optimum parameters for the hot working of nichrome. At temperatures lower than 900°C and strain rates less than $0.001 \hspace{2mm}s^{-1}$, the material exhibits grain boundary cracking. Flow instabilities manifesting in the form of mechanical twinning at lower temperatures (< 1050 °C) and as inhomogeneous recrystallized bands at higher temperatures have been recorded in specimens deformed at strain rates greater than about $1 s^{-1}$.
