Deformation Behavior of Mg-7Gd-5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr Alloy during Hot Compression

Abstract:

The hot deformation behavior of Mg-7Gd-5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy was investigated by compression tests at temperatures of 673 K, 713 K, 753 K, and 793 K and strain rates of 0.001 s^-1, 0.01 s^-1, 0.1 s^-1, and 1s^-1. The stress-strain curves exhibit typical dynamic recrystallization behavior with a single peak stress followed by a gradual fall toward a steady-state stress. The apparent activation energy of deformation and constitutive equations for the alloy were determined through regression analysis for conventional hyperbolic sine equation. The apparent activation energy of DRX and dynamic kinetics model for alloy were determined using the regression analysis for Avrami equation. Optical microscope and electron backscattered diffraction were employed to investigate the microstructure evolution of Mg-7Gd-5Y-1Nd-0.5Zr alloy during hot compression. The results suggested that the grain boundary is the main nucleation sites of dynamic recrystallization, and (0001) basal fiber texture has formed during hot compression.
