Constitutive Modeling for Superplastic Flow Behavior of H62 Alloy

Abstract

In order to precisely describe superplastic flow behavior of H62 alloy, a empirical constitutive equation was established based on the experimental data, which were obtained from the constant strain rate tensions (2.0×10-4~4.0×10-2s-1) at 720 °C. Through verification of the constitutive equation with the experimental data in constant strain rate tensions and constant velocity tensions, it was indicated that the empirical constitutive equation has high accuracy and comprehensive reliability in a wide range of strain rates (2.0×10-4~2.0×10-2s-1) and strains (0~1.8). In addition, the empirical constitutive equation has a good ability to model the superplastic flow behavior of H62 alloy at 720 °C under other deformation conditions besides constant strain rate tension.
