Abstract
In this paper, squeeze casting process was adopted to produce the Fe-Cr-Ni preform reinforced Al-Si-Cu-Ni-Mg aluminum composite. And then, T6 heat treatment was conducted to enhance the composite’s performance. After which, isothermal compression tests in temperature range of 473-773 K at an interval of 150 K and strain rate range from 0.001 to 10 s-1 were carried out on Gleeble 3500 thermo-mechanical simulation machine. It is found that, for a specific strain rate, the flow stress decreases markedly with temperature increases. And for a fixed temperature, the flow stress generally increases as the strain rate increases. Based on the experimental true stress-true strain data, the Arrhenius type model was established.
