The development of processing maps using the dynamic materials modeling (DMM) approach is a widely used method for choosing the appropriate process parameters for the thermomechanical processing of any material. This paper highlights the correct algorithm for developing the processing map by calculating the metallurgical power dissipation efficiency (g) and the newly proposed binary instability parameter (b). Further, common errors that can arise during the computations, and their consequences are also highlighted. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11661-020-05817-x Ó The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society and ASM International 2020

The mechanical behavior of a material undergoing deformation is characterized by its flow stress (r) which can be related to the process parameters: strain (e), strain rate ð_eÞ, and temperature (T). Being a complex thermomechanical process, only certain combinations of the process parameters would result in an efficient deformation path leading to a defect-free product. The dynamic materials modeling (DMM) approach proposed by Prasad et al.[1] is a widely accepted and useful approach for quantifying the material behavior during hot deformation and obtaining its manufacturing feasibility windows using processing maps. It is based on the principles of continuum mechanics by Zeigler,[2] physical systems modeling by Wellstead[3] and irreversible thermodynamics by Malvern et al.[4,5] According to this model, a material undergoing hot deformation is an energy dissipator with the constitutive property P ¼ r_e, where P is the power dissipated per unit volume. The model further partitions P as P ¼ G þ J, where the dissipator content G relates to power dissipation through plastic work, which is

For a linear power dissipator, m ¼ 1 leading to power being dissipated in equal parts as J ¼ G ¼ P=2. In this situation, J reaches its maximum, Jmax. Further details are described elsewhere.[1,6,7] The processing map of a material is obtained by superimposing two contour plots called the power dissipation map and the instability map. It provides the best feasible combinations of the process parameters that can be used for the safe processing of the material. The power dissipation map is a contour plot of the metallurgical power dissipation efficien
