In present study, the flow behaviour and constitutive equation of Thixocast A356 Al alloy has been studied using hot compression test at 450°C, 500°C, 540°C under the strain rates of 0.0001 sec -1 , 0.0005 sec -1 , 0.001 sec -1 , 0.01 sec -1 . The compression flow curves exhibited an initial sharp increase with strain followed by a moderate work-hardening behaviour. The maximum stress was decreased as the strain rate reduced and the temperature increased. At the lowest examined temperature (450°C) and the highest applied strain rate (0.01 sec -1 ), a flow softening behaviour was observed. This was attributed to the morphological changes of the present precipitates.
