Hot-compression behavior of Al-1Mn-1Mg alloy

The hot-compression of Al-1Mn-1Mg (mass fraction, %) alloy sample was carried out on a Gleeble-1500 thermo-simulator at deformation temperatures from 320 to 400 °C and strain rates from 0.1 to 10 s−1 by total strain of 1.4. Microstructure and texture evolution of the hot-compressed alloy were investigated by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis, respectively. The results show that the relationship among flow stress σ, deformation temperature T and strain rate \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \dot \varepsilon $$\end{document} can be expressed in the form of βσ = ln\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \dot \varepsilon $$\end{document} + Q/(RT) — ln A. The threshold value of ln Z (Z is Zener-Hollomon parameter) characterizing the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) is 46, below which the DRX takes place. A strong P orientation {011}〈455〉 associated with a weak cube orientation {100}〈001〉 is found in the recrystallized sample during hot-compression.
