Hot compression tests of AZ61 magnesium alloy were performed on gleeble1500D at strain rate ranged in 0.01~1s-1 and deformation temperature 350~400°C.The results show that the flow stress and microstructures strongly depend on the deformation temperature and the strain rate. When the temperature was reduced and the strain rate was enhanced, the area after dynamic recrystallization was enhanced, and the average dynamically recrystallied grain size reduce. But the dynamically recrystallied grain size was not well-proportioned. In this paper the 350°C×1s-1 was suggested.

Hot compression tests of AZ91D magnesium alloy were performed on Gleeble1500 ranging from 0.001 to 1 s-1 and deformation temperature ranging from 200 to 400°C. The results show that flow stress is dependent on deformation temperature and strain rates.When strain rate is a constant, flow stress decreases with the increasing deformation temperature. Meanwhile, as deformation temperature is a constant, flow stress increases with the increase of strain rate, which can be demonstrated by a Zener-hollomon parameter in the hyperbolic-sine-type equation during hot compression deformation. The hot deformation activation energy is 176.01kJ/mol and the stress exponent is 7.85 during hot compression deformation of AZ91D magnesium alloy.

Dynamic precipitation of Mg–8.08Gd–2.41Sm–0.30Zr (wt %) alloy during hot compression was studied in the present work. The effects of temperature and strain rate on dynamic precipitation, and the effects of dynamic precipitation on dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and microhardness, were systematically analyzed. For this purpose, hot compression tests were conducted at the strain rates of 0.002~1 s−1 and temperatures of 350~500 °C, with the compaction strain of 70% (εmax = 0.7). The obtained results revealed that dynamic precipitation occurred during hot compression at 350~400 °C, but did not occur for T ≥ 450 °C. The precipitates were demonstrated to be β-Mg5Gd with a size of 200~400 nm, and they were distributed in the DRXed region. Dynamic precipitation occurred at strain rates in the 0.002~0.01 s−1 range, but did not occur when the strain rates were in the 0.1~1 s−1 range for the hot compression temperature of 350 °C. The relationships between the hot compression temperature (T) and DRXed grain size (lnd), microhardness (Hv), and DRXed grain size (d−1/2) of Mg–8.08Gd–2.41Sm–0.30Zr alloy were obtained.

Thermal compression tests of AZ61 magnesium alloy was performed at deformation temperature 150-400°C and strain rates ranged from 0.01s-1 to 10s-1, and the microstructure were observed for deformation specimens. The result shows that dynamic recrystallization (DRX) was happened under the center warm deformation condition for AZ61 alloy. The values of stress peak decrease when the deformation temperature increase, the grain size grows up at the same time. On the other hand, the critical strain increase and the grain size get smaller with the strain ratio increasing. Therefore temperature and strain ratio can make a great effect on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ61 alloy, but temperature is a more important factor.

The hot compression behavior of ZK60 magnesium alloy was investigated at the temperatures from 523 to 673K and strain rates from 0.001 to 1s-1 on Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator. The results show that flow stress of ZK60 magnesium alloy decreases with the increase of deformation temperature and the decrease of strain rate. The flow stress curves obtained from experiments can be described in four different stages, i.e., work hardening stage, transition stage, softening stage and steady stage. For higher temperature and lower strain rate, the transition and softening stage are less obvious. The onset of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurred before the stress peak in true stress-true strain curves. The critical stress characterizing the onset of DRX rises with the increase of strain rate and/or the decrease of deformation temperature. The constitutive equation of ZK60 magnesium alloy during hot compression was constructed allowing for the effect of true strain on materials constants. The predicted stress-strain curves according to the constitutive equation are in good agreement with experimental results.

In order to improve the understanding deformation behaviors of thermal compressive of ZK30 magnesium alloy, carried out a series of thermal compressive tests with height reduction 60% of specimens were performed at deformation temperature range of 523-673 K, and strain rates range of 0.001-1 s−1 on Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator. Based on an Arrhenius-type equation constructs a nonlinear flow model and its constitutive equation, are employed to study the deformation behavior and the relationship between deformation temperature, strain rate and flow stress. For higher deformation temperature and lower strain rate, the true stress-strain curves show a characteristic of dynamic recrystallization. With the increase of deformation temperature and the decrease of strain rate the flow stress decreases, also the dynamic recrystallization becomes easier.

The paper presents a model of microstructure changes elaborated for magnesium alloy type AZ31. In previous papers, the function of flow stress was defined on the basis of uniaxial hot compression tests. On the basis of marked relaxation curves and quantitative tests of structure the softening indicators were defined together with elaboration of equations which describe the changes in the grain size. Marked coefficients of equations were introduced in the code of simulation program. Calculations were conducted for given temperature values from 450 ÷ 250°C and strain rate from 0.01 to 10 s-1, which correspond with rolling temperature range of this alloy. Prepared model will allow the proper choice of parameters in hot rolling process of this alloy to achieve the assumed microstructure.

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.

The hot deformation behavior of U720Li was investigated by isothermal compression tests at temperature ranging from 1060-1180°C and strain rate from 0.001s-1 to 20s-1. The flow stress-strain curves and microstructures were investigated and a constitutive equation was established. It is found that flow stress is sensitive to stain rate and deformation temperature greatly. The higher stain rate resultes in a larger fluctuation in flow stress. The hot deformation activation energy is determined to be 552.8kJ/mol. Grain size increases with increasing temperature and decreases firstly and then increases with increasing strain rate. U720Li alloy should be deformed below the solve temperature of γ primary phase with lower strain rate in order to obtain the even and fine grain size.

The deformation behaviors of as-cast Mg-11Gd-2Y-Zn-Zr magnesium alloy were investigated by compression test with Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator at temperature of 623-753K and strain rate of 0.01-0.5 s-1. The flow stress behaviors of the magnesium alloy were carried out at a strain of 0.7. The strain rate and deformation temperature had great influence on the flow stress behaviors. The flow stress increases with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature. The flow stress has more than one peak stress at a strain rate of 0.5s-1showing continuous dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism, while other flow stresses exhibited only one peak stress indicating discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) mechanism. It was also found that the flow stress behavior could be described by the hyperbolic sine constitutive equation, in which the determined average activation energy is 273.426 kJ·mol-1. The maximum error value between calculated value and experimental value is 5.5%. The deformation map was also established, and the best parameter for hot working was found to be 0.1s-1/753k approximately.
