Abstract

The concurrent cellular automata finite element (CAFE) approach for modelling microstructure evolution under thermo-mechanical processing conditions is the subject of the present work. Particular attention is put on modelling two phenomena, static recrystallization after deformation and phase transformation during heating. Details of the developed models are presented within the paper. Both models are implemented based on the CA Framework, which is also described in the work. Finally cellular automata approaches are combined with the finite element model based on the digital material representation idea. The numerical modelling of complex multistage hot deformation process was selected as a case study to show capabilities of the developed cellular automata finite element model.
