Hot compression tests of homogenized 6063 Al alloy were carried out in the temperatures range from 390°C to 510°C and strain rates from 1s-1 to 20s-1 on a Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation machine. The results showed that the flow stress decreased with increasing deformation temperature or decreasing strain rate. The dynamic softening effect was more obvious when the alloy was deformed at strain rate of 20 s-1. The Arrhenius-type constitutive equation with strain compensation can accurately describe the flow stress of 6063 aluminum alloy during hot compression. Shear bands appeared in grains interior when the alloy deformed at high strain rates, corresponding to high Zenner-Hollomon (Z) parameters. When deformed under the conditions with low Z parameters, the dynamic recrystallization started occurred.

The hot deformation behaviors of Aluminum alloy C919 were studied in the present investigation. The hot compression tests for C919 were carried out in the temperature range of 350°C~470°C and strain rates range of 0.001s-1~1s-1 using GLEEBLE-1500 thermal simulate testing machine. Optical microscopy (OM) was used for the microstructure characterization. The experimental results showed that the flow stress of C919 aluminum alloy decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rates and the flow stress curves tended to increase at a strain rate of 1s-1 with increasing strain, while the flow stresses kept with increasing strain at lower strain rate. The alloys were more prone to dynamic recrystallization with decreasing strain rates during hot deformation. The hot compression behavior of C919 aluminum alloy can be described as hyperbolic sine function corrected Arrhenius relation. The processing maps for the alloy were built at a strain of 0.6. The instability deformation domain occurred at temperatures range from 350°C and 380°C and at a strain rate of 0.1-1s-1. Based on the processing maps and microstructure observations, the optimum hot-working parameters were determined to be at a temperature of 470°C in the strain rate range from 0.1-0.01s−1 for the C919 aluminum alloy.

The flow behavior of a new kind of high-strength nickel brass used as automobile synchronizer rings was investigated by hot compression tests with a Gleeble-3500 isothermal simulator at strain rates ranging from 0.01 to 10 s−1 and a wide deformation temperature range of 873–1073K at intervals of 50 K. The experimental results show that flow stress increases with increasing strain rate and decreasing deformation temperature, and discontinuous yielding appeared in the flow stress curves at higher strain rates. A modified Arrhenius constitutive model considering the compensation of strain was established to describe the flow behavior of this alloy. A processing map was also constructed with strain of 0.3, 0.6, and 0.9 based on the obtained experimental flow stress–strain data. In addition, the optical microstructure evolution and its connection with the processing map of compressed specimens are discussed. The predominant deformation mechanism of Cu-Ni-Al brass is dynamic recovery when the deformation temperature is lower than 973 K and dynamic recrystallization when the deformation temperature is higher than 973 K according to optical observation. The processing map provides the optimal hot working temperature and strain rate, which is beneficial in choosing technical parameters for this high-strength alloy.

Abstract In this study, hot deformation behavior of SP-700 titanium alloy was investigated by hot compression tests in the temperature range of 700-9508C and at strain rates of 0.001, 0.1, and 1 s-1. Final mechanical properties of the alloy (hot compressed at different strain rates and temperatures) were investigated using a shear punch testing method at room temperature. The flow curves of the alloy indicated that the yield point phenomenon occurs in the temperature range of 800- 9508C and strain rates of 0.1 and 1 s-1. The microstructural analysis showed that dynamic globularization of the lamellar α phase starts at 7008C and completes at 8008C. The alpha phase was completely eliminated from b matrix due to deformation- induced transformation at 8508C. The microstructure of specimens compressed at 8508C and strain rates of 0.001 and 0.1 s-1showed the serration of beta grain boundaries, whereas partial dynamic recrystallization caused a necklace structure by increasing strain rate up to 1 s-1. The specimen deformed at 7008C and strain rate of 1 s-1was located in the instability region and localized shear bands formed due to the low thermal conductivity of the alloy. The processing map of the alloy exhibited a peak efficiency domain of 54% in the temperature range of 780-8108C and strain rates of 0.001- 0.008 s-1. The hot deformation activation energy of the alloy in the α/β region (305.5 kJ mol-1) was higher than that in the single-phase β region (165.2 kJ mol-1) due to the dynamic globularization of the lamellar a phase.

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.

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.

The high temperature deformation and fracture behavior of ultra-high strength G33 steel under high strain rate compression are investigated by means of a split Hopkinson p ressure bar. Impact tests are performed at strain rates of 1000/s and 2200/s and at temperatures ranging from 25°C to 700°C. The SEM and TEM techniques are also used to analyze the microstructure evolution of the adiabatic shear band (ASB) and fracture characteristics of the deformed specimens at high temperature. The experimental results indicate that the flow stress of G33 steel is significantly dependent on temperatures and strain rates. The flow stress of G33 steel increases with the increase of strain rates, but decreases with the increase of temperatures. The strain rate sensitivity is more pronounced at the low temperature of 25°C. In addition, G33 steel is more liable to fracture at high temperatures than at 25°C. Observations of microstructure show two well-developed symmetric parabolic adiabatic shear bands on the longitudinal cross-section of the cylindrical specimen deformed at the temperature of 700°C and at the strain rate of 2200/s. Within the ASB, the width of the fine equiaxed grain structure is about 7μm. The size of those equiaxed grains is approximately 100nm. The fracture analysis results indicate that the ASBs are the predominant deformation and the specimens fracture along adiabatic shear bands. The fracture surfaces of the deformed G33 steel specimens are characterized by two alternating zones: rough dimple zone and relatively smooth shear zone. Further observations reveal that smooth shear zones consist of severely sheared dimples.

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.

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.

In order to develop new Al alloy, the quasi-static and dynamic compression deformation behavior of an advanced Al-Mg alloy, which contained Zn and rare earth, were investigated. Deformed microstructures in the shear bands of this alloy were characterized by optical microscope. Results show that the compressive strengths increase with strain and strain rates being increased, and microstructures of deformed Al-Mg alloy along compression directions are sensitive to strain rates. The distorted deformation twins near the deformed band can be formed under low strain rate of 5.6×10-3 s-1, while multiple shear bands slipping can be induced by dynamic deformation under high strain rates from 1.9×103 s-1 to 5×103 s-1. Therefore, compressive strength and fracture strain of dynamic deformation are higher than that of the quasi-static deformation, which is attributed to the strain hardening and grain refining in the multiple shear bands.

Hot compression tests of Ti40 alloy was carried out on a GLEEBLE 3500 thermo- mechanical simulator at the deformation temperatures of 950~1100°C, the strain rates of 0.01~0.1s-1 and the height reductions from 20% to 60%. The true stress/true strain curves were obtained through the tests. Through physical experiment and FEM-based microstructure modelings, the dynamic recrystallizaiton (DRX) behavior of the alloy is extensively explored. The results show that increasing true strain, raising deformation temperature and reducing strain rate are contribute to the DRX of the Ti40 alloy. The simulation results agree well with the experiment results, which prove the accuracy of the microstructure evolution models for predicting the DRX process during hot compression.
