Abstract

The hot deformation behavior of Zn91.8-Cu8-Cr0.2 (in wt.%) was investigated by means of hot compression tests in the temperature range of 230-380 °C and strain rate range of 0.01 - 10 s-1. The constitutive equation and processing maps were developed. The influence of strain on the flow stress was studied by considering the effect of the strain on material constants. The stress-strain curves obtained by the constitutive equation are in good agreement with experimental results. The proposed constitutive equations can be used for the analysis problem of hot forming processes. The processing maps have exhibited a domain, which is optimum processing window for hot working, in the temperature range of 310 - 380 °C and strain rate range of 0.01-1 s-1 corresponding to the higher efficiency of power dissipation. The large regime of flow instability is observed at high strain rate. The instability regime should be avoided during hot deformation processing.
