Metadynamic recrystallization (MDRX) behaviors of a Ni-based superalloy with δ phase are studied.
Softening fraction significantly increases with increasing pre-strain, strain rate and temperature.
The developed kinetic equations can accurately evaluate the softening fractions caused by MDRX.
MDRX grain size sharply increases when the pre-strain and deformation temperature are increased.
MDRX grain size obviously decreases with increasing the strain rate.
