Abstract
The hot deformation behaviors of Al-Zn-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy were investigated in a temperature range of 340–500 °C and a strain rate range of 0.001–10 s−1 using uniaxial compression test on Gleeble-1500 thermal simulation machine. The results show that the flow stress increases with increasing strain and tends to be constant after a peak value. The flow stress increases with increasing strain rate and decreases with increasing deformation temperature. The phenomenon of dynamic recovery and dynamic recrystallization can be observed by microstructural evolutions. Based on the hyperbolic Arrhenius-type equation, the true stresstrue strain data from the tests were employed to establish the constitutive equation considering the effect of the true strain on material constants (α, β, Q, n and A), which reveals the dependence of the flow stress on strain, strain rate and deformation temperature. The predicted stress-strain curves are in good agreement with experimental results, which confirms that the developed constitutive equations are suitable to research the hot deformation behaviors of Al-Zn-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy.
