Abstract
The deformation behavior of as-extruded Mg–9.8Gd–2.7Y–0.4Zr Mg alloy is investigated by compression test with Gleeble-3500 thermal simulator at temperature of 648–723K and strain rate of 0.01–5s−1. It is found that the flow stress behavior is described by the hyperbolic sine constitutive equation in which the determined average activation energy is 229.5kJ/mol. Through the flow stresses behavior, the processing maps describing the variation of power dissipation efficiency, is constructed as a function of temperature and strain rate. The processing maps exhibit a domain of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurring at the temperature of 420–450°C and strain rate of 0.01–0.1s−1, corresponding to the optimum hot working window. The instability zones of flow behavior are also recognized from the maps.
