A Gleeble-2000D thermal simulation machine was used to investigate the high-temperature hot compression deformation of an extruded Mg-16Al magnesium alloy under various strain rates (0.0001–0.1 s−1) and temperatures (523–673 K). Combined with the strain compensation Arrhenius equation and the Zener–Hollomon (Z) parameter, the constitutive equation of the alloy was constructed. The average deformation activation energy, Q, was 144 KJ/mol, and the strain hardening index (n ≈ 3) under different strain variables indicated that the thermal deformation mechanism was controlled by dislocation slip. The Mg-16Al alloy predicted by the Sellars model was characterized by a small dynamic recrystallization (DRX) critical strain, indicating that Mg17Al12 particles precipitated during the compression deformation promoted the nucleation of DRX. Hot processing maps of the alloy were established based on the dynamic material model. These maps indicated that the high Al content, precipitation of numerous Mg17Al12 phases, and generation of microcracks at low temperature and low strain rate led to an unstable flow of the alloy. The range of suitable hot working parameters of the experimental alloy was relatively small, i.e., the temperature range was 633–673 K, and the strain rate range was 0.001–0.1 s−1.

To study the superplasticity of AZ31B magnesium alloy, hot compression tests were performed in forming temperature range from 280°C to 440°C and strain rate range from 0.001s-1 to 0.1s-1. The influence of deformation strain rate and forming temperature on flow stress was also analyzed detailed. It was shown that the flow stress of AZ31B was very sensitive to formpng temperature and stain rate, and was decreased with deformation temperature increasing, and was increased with stain rate increasing. However, no significant change of flow stress was observed at the temperature of 440°C and the strain rate below 0.01s-1. The activation energy of AZ31B in superplastic deformation was 141.6KJ•mol-1 and its constitutive equation was established also.

The hot deformation characteristics of 25%SiCp/2009A1 composite fabricated by powder metallurgy route were studied by thermal compaction testing on Gleeble-3800 hot-simulation machine in the temperature range of 370~520 °C and strain rate range of 0.01~10 s-1. The processing maps of 25%SiCp/2009A1 composites were developed on the basis of dynamic material model. The results show that the flow stress decreased with increasing deformation temperature at a constant strain rate, and increased with increasing strain rate at a constant temperature. The processing maps present unsteady zones at high strain rate (≥1 s-1). There are a few interfaces of particle-matrix separated and the particle itself cracked. There was significant dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization occurred in the higher temperature and lower strain rate region. The optimum hot deformation condition of the composites attained by the maps were in the temperature range of 450~490 °Cand in the strain rate range of 0.01~0.1 s-1.

The hot deformation behavior of spray-formed AlSn20Cu alloy during hot compression deformation was studied, and the constitutive equation of AlSn20Cu alloy was established. The samples of spray-formed AlSn20Cu alloy were compressed on Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation test machine. The error of the true stress caused by adiabatic heating effect in the experiment was corrected. The constitutive equation of spray-formed AlSn20Cu alloy could be represented by Zener-Hollomon parameter in a hyperbolic sine function. The results showed that the deformation temperatures and strain rates had a notable effect on the true stress of the alloy. At the identical deformation temperature, the true stress increased with the increase of strain rate. When the strain rate was constant, the stress decreased with the increase of deformation temperature. After hot compression deformation, the tin phase was elongated along the direction perpendicular to the compression axis with short strips and blocks. With the increase of deformation temperature and the decrease of strain rate, Sn phase distribution became more homogeneous.

In this work, a systematic analysis of the hot deformation mechanism and a microstructure characterization of an as-cast single α-phase Mg–4.5 Li–1.5 Al alloy modified with 0.2% TiB addition, as a grain refiner, is presented. The optimized constitutive model and hot working terms of the Mg–Li alloy were also determined. The hot compression procedure of the Mg–4.5 Li–1.5 Al + 0.2 TiB alloy was performed using a DIL 805 A/D dilatometer at deformation temperatures from 250 °C to 400 °C and with strain rates of 0.01–1 s−1. The processing map adapted from a dynamic material model (DMM) of the as-cast alloy was developed through the superposition of the established instability map and power dissipation map. By considering the processing maps and microstructure characteristics, the processing window for the Mg–Li alloy were determined to be at the deformation temperature of 590 K–670 K and with a strain rate range of 0.01–0.02 s−1.

The hot compression behavior of in situ TiB whiskers reinforced Ti6Al4V (TiBw/Ti6Al4V) composites with a novel network microstructure is investigated in the temperature range of 900-1100°C and strain rate range of 0.001-10 s-1. The results show that all the stress-strain curves of the composites display peak flow, softening and steady-state. Moreover, the peak flow stress decreases with increasing temperatures and decreasing strain rates. Processing map of the composite is constructed using the dynamic material model (DMM). Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of α phase is observed in the deformation region corresponding with peak efficiency of the processing map. However, the flow instability region ranged from 900 to 1100°C at strain rates higher than 1.0 s-1should be avoided.

In this work, the Mg-3Sn-2Al-1Zn (TAZ321, wt. %) alloy with excellent high temperature resistance was compressed using a Gleeble-3500 thermo-mechanical simulator at a wide temperature and the strain rate range. The kinetics analyses showed that the dominant deformation mechanism was likely caused by the cross slipping of dislocations. A constitutive equation which expressed the relationship between the flow stress, deformation temperature, and strain rate was established, and the average activation energy Q was calculated to be 172.1 kJ/mol. In order to delineate the stability and instability working domains, as well as obtain the optimum hot working parameters of the alloy, the hot processing maps in accordance with Prassad’s criterion are constructed at the true strain of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8, respectively. Based on the hot processing map and microstructure observation, the optimum hot working parameter was determined to be 350 °C/1 s−1. The continuous fine dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) grains occurred in the optimum deformation zone. The predicted instability domains was identified as T = 200–300 °C, ε ˙ = 10−2–1 s−1, which corresponded to the microstructure of deformation twinning and micro cracks at the intersection of grain boundaries.

In several industrial applications, metallic structures are facing impact loads. Therefore, there is an important need for developing constitutive equations which take into account the strain rate sensitivity of their mechanical properties. The Johnson-Cook equation was widely used to model the strain rate sensitivity of metals. However, it implies that the yield and flow stresses are linearly increasing in terms of the logarithm of strain rate. This is only true up to a threshold strain rate. In this work, a three-constant constitutive equation, assuming an apparent activation volume which decreases as the strain rate increases, is applied here for some metals. It is shown that this equation fits well the experimental yield and flow stresses for a very wide range of strain rates, including quasi-static, high, and very high strain rates (from 10−5to 5 × 104 s−1). This is the first time that a constitutive equation is showed to be able to fit the yield stress over a so large strain rate range while using only three material constants.

AbstractConstitutive analysis for hot working of BFe10-1-2 alloy was carried out by using experimental stress–strain data from isothermal hot compression tests, in a wide range of temperature of 1,023~1,273 K, and strain rate range of 0.001~10 s–1. A constitutive equation based on modified double multiple nonlinear regression was proposed considering the independent effects of strain, strain rate, temperature and their interrelation. The predicted flow stress data calculated from the developed equation was compared with the experimental data. Correlation coefficient (R), average absolute relative error (AARE) and relative errors were introduced to verify the validity of the developed constitutive equation. Subsequently, a comparative study was made on the capability of strain-compensated Arrhenius-type constitutive model. The results showed that the developed constitutive equation based on modified double multiple nonlinear regression could predict flow stress of BFe10-1-2 alloy with good correlation and generalization.
