A comprehensive analysis on flow stress of a wrought Al-Mg alloy is performed to examine the effect of strain. For this study, hot compression tests were carried at different temperatures and strain rates. Corrections of friction and adiabatic heating effects lead to the true stress-true strain curves in the form of dynamic recovery, which reach to a steady-state condition. After correction, constitutive analysis at a constant strain is carried out using hyperbolic-sine equation. The effect of strain on each constitutive parameter is studied to derive a strain-dependent constitutive equation based on hyperbolic-sine equation. Some of constitutive parameters reach to the constant values at... 

The behavior of hot extruded Al-6Mg during hot deformation has been studied using hot compression test. The tests were performed at temperatures of 350, 450, and 550°C and strain rates of 0.001, 0.1, and 1s -1. Due to the effects of friction and adiabatic heating generated during compression, the attained true stress-true strain curves have been corrected. After correction of friction effect, the virtual work hardening has been removed from stress-strain curves. The flow stress increases and reaches a steady state after correction of adiabatic heating effect. Corrected curves and microstructural examinations exhibit the occurrence of dynamic recovery during hot compression of the alloy. The... 

True stress vs. true strain responses of Cu-6 wt.% Al and Cu-12 wt.% Mn alloys are presented. While Cu-6 wt.% Al alloy shows the typical mechanical response of low stacking fault energy alloys, the Cu-12 wt.% Mn alloy behaved similarly to medium to high stacking fault energy alloys. These findings clearly show that while short-range ordering triggers slip planarity, it has a minor effect on total dynamic recovery of these copper alloys
