摘要
Hot compression tests of an extruded Al-1.1Mn-0.3Mg-0.25RE alloy were performed on Gleeble-1500 system in the temperature range of 300-500 ℃ and strain rate range of 0.01-10 s-l. The associated microstructural evolutions were studied by observation of optical and transmission electron microscopes. The results show that the peak stress level decreases with increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate, which can be represented by a Zener-Hollomon parameter in the hyperbolic-sine equation with the hot deformation activation energy of 186.48 kJ/mol. The steady flow behavior results from dynamic recovery whereas flow softening is associated with dynamic recrystallization and dynamic transformation of constituent particles. The main constituent particles are enriched rare earth phases. Positive purifying effects on impurity elements of Fe and Si are shown in the Al-l.lMn-0.3Mg-0.25RE alloy, which increases the workability at high temperature. Processing map was calculated and an optimum processing was determined with deformation temperature of 440-450 ℃ and strain rate of 0.01 s-1.
在Gleeble-1500热模拟机上对Al-1.1Mn-0.3Mg-0.25RE合金在变形温度300～500℃和应变速率0.01～10s-1条件下进行高温热压缩实验,并采用光学金相显微镜及透射电镜对该合金热变形过程的显微组织演变规律进行观察.结果表明：Al-1.1Mn-0.3Mg-0.25RE合金的峰值应力随着变形温度的升高而减小,随着应变速率的增大而增大,并可用包含Zener-Hollomon参数的双曲正弦关系来描述合金的热流变行为,其变形激活能为186.48 kJ/mol;热变形过程稳流过程是动态回复引起的,而流变软化与动态再结晶及成分相的转变有关;合金中主要成分相是富稀土相,这些相的形成对Fe和Si等杂质元素具有净化作用,并增加该合金在高温条件下的热加工性.结合加工图和显微组织可以确定在该实验范围内,合金热变形的最佳工艺参数为：热加工温度440～450℃,应变速率0.01 s-1.
