Abstract

This study researched how Ce addition affects the microstructure and mechanical behavior of Cu-Fe-Ti-Mg alloys during hot compression. A thermal deformation simulation machine was used to study the hot compression process at 0.001-10 s−1 strain rates and 500-950 °C deformation temperatures. The true stress–strain curves and constitutive equations were obtained for the two alloys. Based on the electron backscatter diffraction analysis, the addition of Ce can improve the dislocation density and texture strength of the Cu-Fe-Ti-Mg alloy. The microstructure and precipitates of the Cu-Fe-Ti-Mg-Ce alloy were also analyzed. The average grain size of the Cu-Fe-Ti-Mg-Ce alloy is smaller than the Cu-Fe-Ti-Mg alloy. The addition of Ce delayed dynamic recrystallization. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for understanding the Ce addition effects on the hot deformation behavior of the Cu-Fe-Ti-Mg alloy, serving as a reference for industrial manufacturing of the alloy.
