Hot compressive deformation behavior of 7075 Al alloy under elevated temperature
The hot compression tests were conducted with wide strain rates and forming temperature ranges to study the high-temperature deformation behavior of 7075 Al alloy. The material flow behavior and microstructural evolution during hot-forming process are discussed. Based on the measured stress-strain data, a new constitutive model is proposed, considering the coupled effects of strain, strain rate, and forming temperature on the material flow behavior of 7075 Al alloy. In the proposed model, the material constants are presented as functions of forming temperature. The proposed constitutive model gives good correlations with the experimental results, which confirms that the proposed model can give an accurate and precise estimate of flow stress for 7075 Al alloy.
