Abstract
The elevated temperature flow stress behavior of Mg-9Gd-2.5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr magnesium alloy was carried out by Gleeble-1500 thermal mechanical simulator in the temperature range of 460-520°C and in strain rates of 0.0005~1s-1 at a strain of 0.6. The optical microscopy was used for microstructure characterization. The results showed that the flow stress increases with increasing strain rates and decreasing temperature. All the deformed magnesium alloy specimens show a dynamic recovery characters in the temperature range from 460~500°C, and show dynamic recrystallization characters at 520°C. The flow stress of this alloy can be represented by Zener-Hollomon parameter function, and values of related parameters A, α and n, are 2.24×1013s-1、0.027MPa-1 and 2.93, respectively. Its activation energy for hot deformation Q is 212.6kJ/mol.
