采用等温热压缩测试和TEM分析研究铝锂合金的流变行为与组织演化规律。结果表明:合金的热塑性变形过程受热激活控制,当变形温度低于410℃时,流变曲线具有明显的峰值应力,曲线由加工硬化、动态软化和稳定阶段3个阶段组成;当变形温度高于410℃后,峰值应力不明显。随应变量的增加,合金组织演化规律为产生大量无规则缠结位错→"多边化"形成"位错墙"→分割原始晶粒成若干亚晶→亚晶合并长大并同时经受变形→重复上述过程。应变量的增加导致大量空位产生,刃型位错更易攀移、重组和对消,晶内形成亚晶组织。求解得到合金的材料常数如下:结构因子A为2.787×1016;变形激活能Q为217.397 k J/mol;应力指数n为6.11656;应力水平参数α为0.012568 mm2/N。应变速率和温度对合金流变应力的影响可以用包含Arrhenius等式的Z参数表示。
Isothermal compression tests in a wide range of temperatures （300-500 ℃） and strain rates （0.001-10 s^-1）, were performed on 2099 alloy to reveal the hot deformation characteristics. In order to give a precise prediction of flow behavior, the obtained experimental data were modified by friction and temperature correction and then employed to derive the constitutive modeling. The effects of the temperature and strain rate on hot deformation behavior can be expressed by Zener-Hollomon parameter including Arrhenius term. Furthermore, the influence of strain was incorporated in the constitutive analysis by considering the effect of strain on material constants （i.e. a, n, Q and A）. Consequently, the flow stress curves predicted by the developed modeling show a good agreement with the corrected ones, which indicates that the developed constitutive modeling could give an accurate and precise prediction for the flow stress of 2099 alloy.
