Abstract

Abstract In the present investigation, a new method is proposed to study the AZ30 flow curve at elevated temperatures and various strain rate. Experiments were carried out with the goal of obtaining flow curve of AZ30 at three different temperature and strain rates by using the ring test method. The presented work aims to develop a model using genetic algorithm for AZ30 flow stress prediction during different test conditions. The Santam machine was implicated that was able to perform experiments by controlling both the position and load modes. At each temperature and strain rate the isothermal test was performed respectively. In the present investigation for three varios temperatures and strain rates, 54 ring compression tests were carried out with different levels of reduction in height. Then each specimen was water cooled quickly to investigate the microstructure of AZ30 magnesium alloy by using optical microscope. The model used in the present study was able to predict the flow curve with an 2.3% accuracy. This model has excellent potential to be employed in various industry applications.
