Abstract
In order to determine the deformation temperature of next pass, the hot compression tests were performed by Gleeble-3800 at different temperature form 380 to 420 °C. The microstructure and texture evolution of repetitive upsetting-extruded (RUEed) Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy during hot compression were studied by electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) analysis. The results showed that the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occured during the hot compression processing from the strain-stress flow curves. When the temperature increased to 420 °C, the average grain size reduced to 6.64 μm, and the volume fraction of DRXed grains increased to 81.5%. All the compressed alloys exhibited a typical compression texture, the maximum texture intensity of {0001} plane gradually decreased with increasing temperature. When the compression temperature was up to 420°C, the the maximum texture intensity of {0001} plane was 3.207 due to the effect of DRXed grains. Finally, 420°C is chosen as the next deformation of next pass because of the more precipitation and DRXed grains.
