In this study, optimum processing conditions for strip-cast AZ31 Mg alloy was investigated on the basis of processing map and microstructural analysis. To obtain the processing map, isothermal compression tests were carried out to a strain of 0.5 at temperatures of 200 ∼ 400°C with the strain rates of 0.01 ∼ 10s-1. It was found that maximum efficiency indicating the optimum processing condition occurred at 300°C and 10s-1. The possible deformation mechanisms operating at high temperature was also discussed.

High temperature deformation behavior of AZ31 Mg alloy was investigated in this study on the basis of a processing map (e » 0.6). To construct a processing map, compression tests were carried out at various temperatures and strain rates. Two regions of high deformation efficiency (h) were identified as: (1) a dynamic recrystalization (DRX) domain at 250°C and 1/s and (2) a superplasticity domain at 450°C and 10-4/s. The average grain size observed in the DRX region was considerably smaller (2.9µm) than in any other region. In the superplastic condition, tensile elongation to failure approached to 1040%. At the high Z regions, flow softening occurred resulting from the dynamic recrystallization but below 1010 of Z value, flow hardening occurred due to the grain growth. Possible deformation mechanisms operating at high temperature were discussed in relation to the activation energy. A two-stage deformation method was found to be effective in enhancing the superplasticity of AZ31 Mg alloy.

In this study, high-temperature deformation behavior of newly developed beta-gamma TiAl alloys was investigated in the context of the dynamic-materials model (DMM). Processing maps representing the efficiency of power consumption for microstructure evolution were constructed utilizing the results of compression test at temperatures ranging from 1000oC to 1200oC and strain rates ranging from 10-4/s to 102/s and Artificial Neural Network simulation method. With the help of processing map and microstructural analysis, the optimum processing condition for the betagamma TiAl alloy was investigated. The role of β phase was also discussed in this study.

The high temperature deformation behavior and flow instabilities of Ni-Fe-Co base superalloy, INCONEL alloy 783 during hot working process were investigated with process maps consisting of a power dissipation of dynamic materials model (DMM) and various flow instability criteria. In order to establish the processing map of INCONEL alloy 783, hot compression tests were carried out under different temperature and strain rate conditions, with true strain up to 0.7. On the basis of the comparison between processing maps and microstructural analysis, the reliability of various flow instability criteria was estimated. Finally the useful instability criterion for predicting the forming defects was suggested through the compression test results and experimental observations of actual ring rolling process of INCONEL alloy 783.

Based on the experimental results from the hot compression tests of homogenized cast AZ61 Mg alloy, processing maps were constructed by superimposition of the instability maps over the power dissipation maps. The domain with the efficiency of power dissipation reaching a local maximum and flow instability region were identified in the processing maps. The processing map obtained at a strain of 0.6 exhibited only one domain with local maximum efficiency of power dissipation. The microstructure observations showed that variation in microstructure was related to the deformation condition, which was associated with the variation in efficiency of power dissipation.

The efficiency factor (η) and the instability factor ([Formula: see text] in deformation processing maps are regarded as the reliable indices of formability during high-temperature deformation. Deformation processing maps are primarily based on strain rate sensitivity ( m) and are usually created by high-temperature compression tests. To analyze the effect of the mode of flow on the deformation processing map, deformation processing maps based on both compressive and tensile flow curves for 304L stainless steel were determined and compared in the current study. As the instantaneous strain rate varies during both the tensile and compression tests when a constant crosshead speed is used, strain rate compensated deformation processing maps have been determined and compared. In addition, the frictional effect of barreling during compression testing on the deformation processing map has been analyzed. Both deformation processing maps based on either compressive or tensile flow curves are estimated to be complementary.
