Abstract：

In order to research the reliability of numerical simulation on cellular automata (CA) of microstructure evolution for 7075 aluminum alloy before and after strong plastic deformation, based on the true stress-true strain curve of hot compression, models of recrystallization, dislocation density, rheological stress and nucleation rate for 7075 aluminum alloy were established, and the multi-directional forging process of 7075 aluminum alloy was simulated by CA method. Then, the grain distribution and grain evolution of the alloy after simulation were analyzed, and the experimental results of the alloy before and after multi-directional forging obtained by the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) were compared and analyzed. The results show that the average grain sizes of the alloy obtained by simulation and experiment are 6.813 and 6.57 μm respectively, and the sizes and distribution of grain in the alloy before and after forging obtained by simulation are consistent with the experimental results, indicating that the simulation results of the multi-directional forging process for 7075 aluminum alloy by CA method are in good agreement with the experimental results. Thus, CA method has certain credibility for the prediction of average grain sizes and the observation of grain distribution characterization for the alloy.
