Abstract
The deformation behaviors of Al2O3/Al composites were investigated by compressive tests conducted at temperature of 300–450 °C and strain rates of 0.001–1.0 s−1 with Gleeble–1500D thermal simulator system. The results show that the flow stress increases with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature. The hyperbolic sine constitutive equation can describe the flow stress behavior of Al2O3/Al composites, and the deformation activation energy and constitutive equations were calculated. The processing maps of Al2O3/Al-2 μm and Al2O3/Al-1 μm composites at strain of 0.6 were obtained and the optimum processing domains are in ranges of 300–330 °C, 0.007–0.03 s−1 and 335–360 °C, 0.015–0.06 s−1 for hot working, respectively. The instability zones of flow behavior can also be recognized by the maps.
