Abstract

Hot compression behavior of TiC–Al2O3/Al composites was studied using the Gleeble-1500 system at a temperature range of 300–550 °C and at strain rate range of 0.01–10.00 s−1. The associated structural changes were studied by TEM observations. The results show that stress level decreases with deformation temperature increasing and strain rate decreasing, which can be represented by a Zener–Hollomon parameter in an exponent-type equation with hot deformation activation energy Q of 172.56 kJ·mol−1. Dynamic recovery occurs easily when strain rates are less than 10.00 s−1. Dynamic recrystallization can occur at strain rate of 10.00 s−1.
