The dynamic microstructure evolution of Mg-3Sn-2Al-1Zn-5Li magnesium alloy during hot deformation is studied by hot compression tests over the temperature range of 200–350 °C under the strain rate of 0.001–1 s−1, whereafter constitutive equations and processing maps are developed and constructed. In most of cases, the material shows typical dynamic recrystallization (DRX) features, with a signal peak value followed by a gradual decrease. The value of Q (deformation activation energy) is 138.89414 kJ/mol, and the instability domains occur at high strain rate but the stability domains are opposite, and the optimum hot working parameter for the studied alloy is determined to be 350 °C/0.001 s−1 according to the processing maps. Within 200–350 °C, the operating mechanism of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of Mg-3Sn-2Al-1Zn-5Li alloy during hot deformation is mainly affected by strain rate. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) structures are observed from the samples at 300 °C/0.001 s−1 and 350 °C/0.001 s−1, which consist of continuous DRX (CDRX) and discontinuous DRX (DDRX). However, dynamic recovery (DRV) still dominates the softening mechanism. At the grain boundaries, mass dislocation pile-ups and dislocation tangle provide sites for potential nucleation. Meanwhile, flow localization bands are observed from the samples at 200 °C/1 s−1 and 250 °C/0.1 s−1 as the main instability mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
