Abstract:The compressive deformation behavior of as-quenched 7005 aluminum alloy was investigated at the temperature ranging from 250 °C to 450 °C and strain rate ranging from 0.0005 s-1 to 0.5 s-1 on Gleeble-1500 thermal-simulation machine. Experimental results show that the flow stress of as-quenched 7005 alloy is affected by both deformation temperature and strain rate, which can be represented by a Zener-Hollomon parameter in an exponent-type equation. By comparing the calculated flow stress and the measured flow stress, the results show that the calculated flow stress agrees well with the experimental result. Based on a dynamic material model, the processing maps were constructed for the strains of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5. The maps and microstructural examination revealed that the optimum hot working domain is 270-340 °C, 0.05-0.5 s-1 with the reasonable dynamic recrystallization. The instability domain exhibits adiabatic shear bands and flow localization, which should be avoided during hot working in order to obtain satisfactory properties.
