In this paper, the results of hot axisymmetric forging and flat rolling experiments using plaincarbon steel with oxide formation conducted under nearly identical conditions of initial temperature,specimen thickness and surface quality, and deformation speed and reduction are presented.Temperature measurements and computations indicate that, under the approximately identicaldeformation conditions, the interfacial heat transfer coefficients (IHTCs) from hot rolling aresubstantially higher than those from hot forging. The thermal and physical mechanisms governingthese differences are analysed in terms of oxide scale deformation mode, metal flow pattern andcontact status.
