The results of hot torsion tests in order to characterize the true stress-true strain curves at a high temperature for six different types of steel (carbon, free-cutting and alloyed), were presented in a previous work, and from those results, an expression was proposed to calculate the peak strain [bar [epsilon]][sub p]. Through it, the critical strain [bar [epsilon]][sub c] for the onset of the dynamic recrystallization is a function of Zener-Hollomon's parameter, Z, the initial austenitic grain size d[sub o], and the apparent activation energy of the hot deformation process Q: [bar [epsilon]][equals]75.34 d[sub 0][sup 1/2]Z[sup 0.15]Q[sup [minus]2.63]. In this work the authors obtain expressions to calculate the peak stress value [bar [sigma]][sub p], and the stationary state stress [bar [sigma]][sub ss] for the steels tested at the temperature and the strain rates studied. The authors also examined the similarity between the exponents of Z in the expression to calculate [bar [epsilon]][sub p] and [bar [sigma]][sub p], and the mean sensitivity of the torque, with respect to the strain rate calculated for all the steels at the temperature range studied.
