Stress-strain curves of the EN AW 6082 aluminium alloy with 1.2 Si-0.51 Mg-0.75 Mn (wt.%) were determined by the uniaxial compression tests at temperatures of 450–550 °C with a strain rate of 0.5–10 s−1. The initial structure state corresponded to three processing types: as-cast structure non-homogenized or homogenized at 500 °C, and the structure after homogenization and hot extrusion. Significantly higher flow stress appeared as a result of low temperature forming of the non-homogenized material. Hot deformation activation energy Q-values varied between 99 and 122 kJ·mol−1 for both homogenized materials and from 200 to 216 kJ·mol−1 for the as-cast state, while the Q-values calculated from the measured steady-state stress were always higher than those calculated from the peak stress values. For the extruded state of the 6082 alloy, the physically-based model was developed to reliably predict the flow stress influenced by dynamic softening, temperature, strain rate, and true strain up to 0.6.

Abstract Aluminum piston alloys of the AA4032 type are produced by direct-chill (DC) casting and subsequent forging; therefore, it is important to understand their thermomechanical behavior. In recent years, it was shown that additions of Cu and Er could improve mechanical properties of these alloys at room and high temperatures. In this work, we studied the constitutive behavior of AA4032-type alloys with and without Cu and Er additions. The experimental true stress–true strain curves were obtained by compression tests under various temperatures [683 K to 723 K (410 °C to 450 °C)] and strain rates (0.01 to 10 s−1) to determine constitutive parameters [strain-rate sensitivity, activation energy, and Zener–Hollomon (Z) parameter] for the hot deformation behavior of AA4032-type piston alloys with and without additions of Cu and Er. The flow stress decreased with increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate. The results also showed that increasing the Cu content increased the flow stress over the applied range of deformation conditions due to solid-solution strengthening and the formation of primary Si particles, which led to an increase in the activation energy during hot deformation. Moreover, the main microstructural damage in the AA4032 alloy with 3.5 pct Cu was predominantly due to the cracking of primary Si particles. Additions of 0.4 pct Er and 3.5 pct Cu lower the activation energy of deformation, Q, as compared to the base alloy and the alloy with 3.5 pct Cu. The microstructures in the deformed specimens consisted of subgrains, recrystallized grains, and fine eutectic phases. The alloys containing Er demonstrated more polygonized grains at a low strain rate than the alloys without Er, indicating that Er hindered recrystallization development. The peak stress of the AA4032 alloy with 3.5 pct Cu alloy was higher than for the base AA4032 alloy and for the AA4032 alloy with 3.5 pct Cu and 0.4 pct Er additions, which was attributed to the prevalence of the work-hardening mechanism over the softening mechanism.

Hot deformation characteristics of forged and β-quenched Zr-1.0Sn-0.3Nb-0.3Fe-0.1Cr (N18 alloy) in the temperature range 625–950°C and in the strain rate range 0.005–5 s−1 have been studied by uniaxial compression testing of Gleeble 3500. For this study, the approach of processing maps has been adopted and their interpretation done using the Dynamic Materials Model (DMM). Based on a series of true stress-true strain curves on various temperatures and strain rates, the flow stress has been summarized and both the strain rate sensitivity index (m) and deformation activation energy (Q) have been calculated by the constitutive equations that flow stress and the relationship of Z parameter and flow stress have been established subsequently. Furthermore, the efficiency of power dissipation (⬜) given by [2m/(m+1)] and improved by Murty has been plotted as a function of temperature and strain rate to obtain different processing maps at different true strain rates ranging from 0.1–0.7. Subsequently, the microstructures of the specimens after compression testing were characterized by electron channeling contrast (ECC) imaging techniques used an FEI Nova 400 field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEG-SEM). The results showed that: (i) The hyperbolic sine constitutive equation can describe the flow stress behavior of zirconium alloy, and the deformation activation energy and flow stress equation were calculated under the different temperature stages which insists that the deformation mechanism is not dynamic recovery. (ii) The hot processing maps and its validation were analyzed, which indicated that the DMM theory was reliable and could be adopted as useful tool for optimizing hot workability of Zr. The optimum parameters for extrusion and hammer forging were revealed on the processing maps of 830–950°C, 0.048–2.141 s−1 and 916–950°C, 2.465–5 s−1. (iii) The microstructure of the ingot exhibits a typical lamellar Widmanstatten structure. Under the different strain rates, the grains formed by dynamic recrystallization existed normally in the central zone of the compression samples while the no uniformity of grain size increased with the increasing of strain rate. Meanwhile, due to the dynamic recrystallization as a thermal activation process, the grains size and uniformity increased with the increasing of temperature. In brief, microstructure analysis showed that continuous dynamic recrystallization and geometric dynamic recrystallization operated concurrently during the isothermal compressive deformation.

The hot deformation behaviors of 30%SiCp/2024 aluminum alloy composites was studied by hot compression tests using Gleeble-1500 thermomechanical simulator at temperatures ranging from 350-500°C under strain rates of 0.01-10 s-1. The true stress-true strain curves were obtained in the tests. Constitutive equation and processing map were established. The results show that the flow stress decreases with the increase of deformation temperature at a constant strain rate, and increases with the increase of strain rate at constant temperature, indicating that composite is a positive strain rate sensitive material. The flow stress behavior of composite during hot compression deformation can be represented by a Zener-Hollomon parameter in the hyperbolic sine form. Its activation energy for hot deformation Q is 183.251 kJ/mol. The optimum hot working conditions for this material are suggested.

Hot Deformation Behavior

Isothermal compression tests of TC18 titanium alloy at the deformation temperatures ranging from 25?C to 800?C and strain rate ranging from 10-4 to 10-2 s-1 were conducted by using a WDW-300 electronic universal testing machine. The hot deformation behavior of TC18 was characterized based on an analysis of the true stress-true strain curves of TC18 titanium alloy. The curves show that the flow stress increases with increasing the strain rate and decreases with increasing the temperature, and the strain rate play an important role in the flow stress when increasing the temperatures. By taking the effect of strain into account, an improved constitutive relationship was proposed based on the Arrhenius equation. By comparison with the experimental results, the model prediction agreed well with the experimental data, which demonstrated the established constitutive relationship was reliable and can be used to predict the hot deformation behavior of TC18 titanium alloy.

Hot Deformation Behaviour

The deformation behaviour of a coarse-grained as-cast medium-carbon steel, alloyed with 1.2% Mn, 0.8% Cr and 0.2% Mo, was studied by uniaxial compression tests for the strain rates of 0.02 s−1–20 s−1 in the unusually wide range of temperatures (650–1280 °C), i.e., in various phase regions including the region with predominant bainite content (up to the temperature of 757 °C). At temperatures above 820 °C, the structure was fully austenitic. The hot deformation activation energies of 648 kJ·mol−1 and 364 kJ·mol−1 have been calculated for the temperatures ≤770 °C and ≥770 °C, respectively. This corresponds to the significant increase of flow stress in the low-temperature bainitic region. Unique information on the hot deformation behaviour of bainite was obtained. The shape of the stress-strain curves was influenced by the dynamic recrystallization of ferrite or austenite. Dynamically recrystallized austenitic grains were strongly coarsened with decreasing strain rate and growing temperature. For the austenitic region, the relationship between the peak strain and the Zener–Hollomon parameter has been derived, and the phenomenological constitutive model describing the flow stress depending on temperature, true strain rate and true strain was developed. The model can be used to predict the forming forces in the seamless tubes production of the given steel.

The flow stress of a high-Mn austenitic Fe-20Mn-3Si-3Al TRIP steel was investigated by isothermal compression tests on Gleeble 3500D thermo-mechanical simulator in the temperature ranges from 900°C to 1100°C and the strain rate ranges from 0.01s-1 to 10s-1. The results show that the flow stress is sensitively dependent on deformation temperature and strain rate, and the flow stress increases with strain rate and decreases with deformation temperature. The flow stress during isothermal compression can be described by the Zener-Hollomon (Z) parameter in the hyperbolic sine equation with the hot deformation activation energy Q of 385.2kJ/mol.

The hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of a 7.5 vol% TiBw/near α-Ti composite with fine matrix microstructure were investigated under the deformation conditions in a temperature range of 800–950 °C and strain rate range of 0.001–1 s−1 using plane strain compression tests. The flow stress curves show different characteristics according to the various deformation conditions. At a higher strain rate (1 s−1), the flow stress of the composite continuously increases until a peak value is reached. The activation energy is 410.40 kJ/mol, much lower than the activation energy of as-sintered or as-forged composites. The decreased activation energy is ascribed to the breaking of the TiBw reinforcement during the multi-directional forging and the resultant fine matrix microstructure. Refined reinforcement and refined matrix microstructure significantly improve the hot deformation ability of the composite. The deformation conditions determine the morphology and fraction of α and β phases. At 800–900 °C and 0.01 s−1 the matrix α grains are much refined due to the continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX). The processing map is constructed based on the hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution. The optimal hot processing window is determined to be 800–950 °C/0.001–0.01 s−1, which lead to CDRX of primary α grains or dynamic recovery (DRV) and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of β phase.

The hot deformation behavior of an AZ81 magnesium alloy was investigated by hot compressive testing on a Gleeble-1500 thermal mechanical simulator in the temperature range from 200 to 400°C and in the strain rate range of 0.001–5 s−1. The relationships among flow stress, strain rate, and deformation temperature were analyzed, and the deformation activation energy and stress exponent were calculated. The microstructure evolution of the AZ81 magnesium alloy under high deformation was examined. The results indicated that the maximum value of the flow stress increased with the decrease of deformation temperature and the increase of strain rate. When the deformation temperature is constant, the flow stress of the AZ81 magnesium alloy increases with the increase of strain rate, which can be demonstrated by a Zener-Hollomon parameter in a hyperbolic-sine-type equation with a hot compression deformation activation energy of 176.01 KJ/mol and basic hot deformation material factorsA,n, andain the analytical expression of the AZ81 magnesium alloy flow stress of3.21227×1014 s−1, 7.85, and 0.00866 MPa, respectively.
