Compression tests of 7050 aluminum alloy have been conducted at different temperatures (340, 380, 420, and 460 °C) with strain rate of 0.1 s-1. The deformation behavior and service performance of the alloy are investigated using EBSD technique, TEM and hardness measurement. Results show that the volume fraction of recrystallized grains increases with the increase of deformation temperature. The primary softening mechanisms of the alloy deformed at 340, 380, and 420 °C are dynamic recovery, and dynamic recrystallization is the main softening mechanism of the alloy deformed at 460 °C. The hardness of the 7050 aluminum alloy deformed increases with increasing deformation temperature. Dynamic precipitation appears when the 7050 aluminum alloy was deformed at 340, 380, and 420 °C, and strengthening mechanisms include mechanical hardening and precipitation strengthening. When deformation temperature is 460 °C, solid solution strengthening and grain boundary strengthening are primary strengthening mechanisms.

Abstract The deep understanding of flow behaviors of as-extruded 7050 aluminum alloy significantly contributes to the accuracy simulation for its various plastic forming processes. In order to obtain the improved Arrhenius-type equation with variable parameters for this alloy, a series of compression tests were performed at temperatures of 573 K, 623 K, 673 K, 723 K and strain rates of 0.01 s−1, 0.1 s−1, 1 s−1, 10 s−1 with a height reduction of 60% on Gleeble-1500 thermo-mechanical simulator. It is obvious that strain rate, strain and temperature all have a significant effect on the hot flow behaviors, and the true stress–true strain curves indicate three types after the peak value: decreasing gradually to a steady state with sustaining DRX softening till a balance with work hardening, decreasing continuously with sustaining increasing DRX softening beyond work hardening and maintaining higher stress level after the peak value with a balance between work hardening and DRV softening. Based on the experimental data, the improved Arrhenius-type constitutive model was established to predict the high temperature flow stress of as-extruded 7050 aluminum alloy. The accuracy and reliability of the improved Arrhenius-type model were further evaluated in terms of the correlation coefficient (R), here 0.98428, the average absolute relative error (AARE), here 3.5%. The results indicate that the improved Arrhenius-type constitutive model presents a good predictable ability.

To study the hot deformation behavior of Al-Mg-Er alloy, hot compression tests were conducted on a Gleeble-1500D thermal simulator at the temperature range of 200-500°C with the strain rates from 0.001 to 10s-1. With the increase in the deformation temperature and the decrease in strain rates, the flow stress of the Al-Mg-Er alloy decreased. Processing maps were constructed to study on hot workability characteristics. The results showed that the flow stress curves exhibited the typical dynamic recrystallization characteristics and the stress decreased with the increase of deformation temperature and the decrease of strain rate. Moreover, the processing maps were established on the basis of dynamic material model and Prasad’s instability criterion.

Uniform direct chill (UDC) casting is coupled annular electromagnetic stirring and intercooling, having been utilized for the preparation of large-sized aluminum alloy billet. In this paper, the UDC casting was applied to 2A14 aluminum alloy billets with a diameter of 584 mm. Hot compression tests, cogging and ring rolling procedures were carried out for the billets, respectively. The results show that during the deformation temperature of 420 °C and the strain rate of 0.01 s−1 to 10 s−1, the flow stresses of different positions are higher and more stable in the UDC casting billet than in the normal direct chill (NDC) casting billet. The dislocation glide is the dominant deformation mechanism of 2A14 aluminum alloy. Meanwhile, the UDC casting significantly improves the mechanical properties of the rolled rings in tangential and axial directions compared with the NDC casting.

Mg-based metallic glass interpenetrating phase composites (IPCs) containing 30–70 vol% titanium was fabricated in this study. The effects of reinforced phase volume fraction and interspace on the mechanical properties were investigated systematically. With increasing the volume fraction of titanium, the fracture strength and strain increased up to 1860 MPa and 44%, respectively. The results showed that the critical volume fraction (around 40%) of Ti metal should be required for significantly improving plasticity of IPC. Decreasing the interspace of the titanium phase could lead to enhancement of yield and fracture strength. The deformation behavior and strengthening mechanisms were discussed in detail.

Isothermal compression tests were conducted to investigate the effect of hot deformation parameters on flow behavior and microstructure of Ti-6Al-4V-0.2O alloy. The experimental results show that the strain rate and height reduction have little effect on the volume fraction of primary α at a deformation temperature of 860 ̊C. At a deformation temperature of 940 ̊C, the volume fraction of primary α at a high strain rate (10s-1) is about 10% less than that at low strain rates (0.01s-1~1s-1). It may be one of the reasons for the significantly discontinuous yielding phenomenon. Another reason is that the dislocation density decreased suddenly due to the dynamic recovery. With the increasing strain rate and the decreasing deformation temperature, the volume fraction of irregular secondary α increases and lamellar secondary α decreases. And with height reduction increasing, the irregular secondary α increases firstly and then tends to be steady because of dynamic recovery and recrystallization.

The multi-size Al2O3 particles dispersion strengthened copper base composite (i.e. Al2O3/Cu-0.6%Al2O3 composite) was prepared by the vacuum hot-press sintering-internal oxidizing method. The hot deformation behavior of Al2O3/Cu-0.6%Al2O3 composite was investigated by the isothermal compression tests at the temperature range from 600°C to 950°C and strain rates of 0.001 s-1 and 1s-1 respectively with a Gleeble-1500D thermal simulator system. The results show that the flow stress-strain curves of Al2O3/Cu-0.6%Al2O3 composites indicate the softening mechanism of recrystallization. The flow stress increases with the deformation strain increasing, then decreases and tends to be steady. The hot deformation activation energy is calculated as 116.46 kJ/mol for the Al2O3/Cu-0.6%Al2O3 composite. The strain-stress constitutive equation is established on the basis of above results.

The deformation behavior of 2519 aluminum alloy was studied by isothermal compression by Gleeble-1500 simulator in the temperature range from 300 to 450°C under the strain rates of 0.01~10s-1. The results showed that the flow stress was controlled by strain rate and deformation temperature. The flow stress increased with strain rate and decreased with deformation temperature. The flow stress of 2519 aluminum alloy increased with strain and to the constant values at three strain rates of 0.01 s-1,0.1 s-1and1 s-1, indicating the dynamic recovery to occur. The flow stress decreased after a peak value with increase of strain at strain rate 10s-1 and deformation temperature higher than 350°C, showing partly dynamic recrystallization. The flow stress of 2519 aluminum alloy during high temperature deformation can be represented by Zener-Hollomon parameter.
