摘要

The hot deformation behavior of Ferrium® C64 (Fe–16Co–7.5Ni–0.1C) alloy was investigated through isothermal uniaxial hot compression tests over a temperature range of 1123–1423 K and strain rates from 0.01 to 10 s⁻1. Based on the experimental results, three predictive models were developed: Arrhenius-type constitutive model (ACM), strain-compensated Arrhenius-type constitutive model (SACM), and an artificial neural network (ANN) model. Model performance was evaluated using correlation coefficient (R), relative percentage error, and average absolute relative error (AARE). The ANN model demonstrated superior predictive accuracy with an R value of 0.9991 and an AARE of 0.12%, outperforming the ACM (R = 0.9763, AARE = − 8.9%) and SACM (R = 0.9798, AARE = − 9%). At lower strain rate (0.01 s−1) all models demonstrated good predictability (R > 0.99), but their accuracy decreased at higher strain rates (10 s−1), with the ANN model showing better performance (R > 0.99) across varying conditions, making it a more reliable tool for predicting flow stress in Ferrium® C64 alloy. Based on the experimental and predicted flow curves, forging simulation for input pinion for military helicopter transmission assembly using DEFORM 3D software was performed and validated through actual forging process.
