Abstract

Aiming at the forward extrusion forming and its parameter optimization of high-strength and heat-resistant Mg-9Gd-3Nd-1Zn-1Sn-0.5Zr alloy, the isothermal compression stress–strain behavior was investigated. The high-temperature plastic deformation constitutive equation and the microstructure evolution of the alloy were obtained. According to the results of variation of stress–strain with strain rates and processing temperatures, a thermal processing map of the alloy was constructed, to obtain a safe processing area where the material is not prone to be unstable. Based on the results of thermal processing map, the experiments were carried out with the punching speed of 2 mm/s, the temperatures of 400 °C, 425 °C and 450 °C and the extrusion ratio of 12. The results showed that the best comprehensive properties of the alloy were obtained at the extrusion temperature of 425 °C. In addition, our findings were in good agreement with the prediction of the thermal processing map.
