Abstract
The true stress-strain curves of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet were obtained by using the uniaxial tensile tests at the temperature ranging from 50°Cto 300°C and the initial strain rate ranging from 0.001/s to 0.1/s. The influence of temperature and strain rate on the flow stress was analyzed. The results show that the flow stress decreases and the elongation in fracture increases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate，and the plastic performance is improved obviously. Through the analysis of the true stress-strain curves，a mathematical model of the flow stress was established based on an exponential form whose power is a quadratic function. All the coefficients in the model were fitted as functions of temperature and strain rate. The comparison of the calculated results with experimental data shows that the model established in this study can accurately reflect work hardening and strain softening effect of AZ31B magnesium alloys during the hot deformation. It can be used for the prediction of flow stress for AZ31B magnesium alloys under hot work conditions and numerical simulation of forming processes.
