Abstract
The hot deformation behavior of dilute Al-Fe-Si alloys (1xxx) containing various amounts of Fe (0.1 to 0.7 wt.%) and Si (0.1 to 0.25 wt.%) was studied by uniaxial compression tests conducted at various temperatures (350-550 °C) and strain rates (0.01-10 s−1). The flow stress of the 1xxx alloys increased with increasing Fe and Si content. Increasing the Fe content from 0.1 to 0.7% raised the flow stress by 11-32% in Al-Fe-0.1Si alloys, whereas the flow stress increased 5-14% when the Si content increased from 0.1 to 0.25% in Al-0.1Fe-Si alloys. The influence of the temperature and the strain rate on the hot deformation behavior was analyzed using the Zener-Holloman parameter, and the effect of the chemical composition was considered in materials constants in the constitutive analysis. The proposed constitutive equations yielded an excellent prediction of the flow stress over wide ranges of temperature and strain rate with various Fe and Si contents. The microstructural analysis results revealed that the dynamic recovery (DRV) is the sole softening mechanism of the 1xxx alloys during hot deformation. Increasing the Fe and Si content retarded the DRV and resulted in a decrease in the subgrain size and mean misorientation angle of the boundaries.
