The isothermal forging process of a bracket and its microstructure evolution of Mg-10Gd-2Y-0.5Zn-0.3Zr alloy have been investigated in the present study. The results show that the bracket with thin-web and high-rib is well formed through modifying corners and adding an active damping block into male die. Amounts of lamellae and particles distribute uniformly on the matrix after the isothermal forging process and ageing process. The isothermal forging process has an obvious effect on the precipitation behaviour of secondary phases, while it did not change the grain size greatly. With the increase of ageing time, more secondary phases precipitate from α-Mg matrix until 60h. The optimal ultimate tensile strength and elongation of the peak-aged alloy are 382MPa and 4.03%, respectively. The combined effects of LPO and β′ phases contribute to the high strength of the peak-aged alloy.

The free forging process of medium scale specimen was carried out to study the effects of the die temperature on the microstructure evolution of 7A85 aluminum forging. The results show that with the increase of die temperature, the size of the grains and the distribution of dislocations and precipitates of free forging tend to have a high degree of uniformity. Considering the effects of die temperature, the isothermal forging process was applied for the deformation of complex aviation forging. The metal flows smoothly during the isothermal forging process and thus there is little possibility of forming unfill, crack and other defects. The dislocations are evenly distributed during the isothermal forging process. Consequently, there is a relatively uniform distribution of precipitated phases of the aviation forging.
