Abstract
The deformation behavior and microstructure of 6069 aluminum alloy have been studied by isothermal compression at temperature ranging from 300°C to 450°C on Gleeble-1500 machine at strain rates from 0.01 to 10s-1. The results show that the deformation temperature and strain rate is essential to the flow characteristic, and the main deformation mechanism for 6069 aluminum alloy is dynamic recovery at low strain rates. The dynamic recrystallization take place at the strain rates of 10s-1 and deformation temperature ranges of 300~350°C. At constant strain rate, the flow stress and steady-state flow stress decrease with deformation temperature increasing. While at constant temperature, the flow stress and steady-state flow stress increase with increasing strain rate. The processing map at the strain of 0.7 is obtained and the map exhibits two safe deformation domains (300~350°C at 1~10s-1 and 380~450°C at 0.01~0.3s-1).
