Study on the hot deformation behavior of solution-treated novel Mg-3.3Gd-2.5Nd-0.4Zn-0.3Zr alloy using constitutive analysis and processing map
摘要
In this study, isothermal hot compression tests were conducted on solid-solution-treated novel Mg-3.3Gd-2.5Nd-0.4Zn-0.3Zr alloy across 370–490 °C and 0.001–1 s−1 to establish reliable processing guidelines. Experimental flow stresses were modeled via a hyperbolic sine constitutive equation, while processing maps generated through the dynamic material model (DMM) identified two optimal thermomechanical windows: 370–490 °C and 0.001–0.03 s−1, 430–490 °C and 0.03–0.37 s−1. Microstructural analysis at ε=0.3 revealed discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) as the dominant softening mechanism in stable regions. Adjacent to instability zones, concurrent DDRX and continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) occurred with deformation twinning, accompanied by <0001>//CD texture evolution that suppressed basal slip. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations demonstrated that dynamically precipitated second phases accelerated recrystallization via particle-stimulated nucleation (PSN), with finer and more abundant precipitates at 410 °C than at 450 °C.
