Korea Institute of Materials Science, Changwon, Korea © Central South University Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010 Abstract: A Thermecmastor-Z hot deformation simulator, optical microscopy, XRD and TEM were employed to characterize the flow stress behavior and microstructure of twin roll cast ZK60 magnesium alloy during initial stage of hot compression at elevated temperature of 300 ℃ and 400 ℃ and a given strain rate of 10−2 s−1. The results suggest that flow stress drop during initial stage of hot compression at 300 ℃, generally led by dynamic recrystallization, is attributed to twinning, correspondingly to dynamic recrystallization as deformation temperature is raised to 400 ℃. Key words: magnesium alloy; basal slip; non-basal slip; twinning; hot deformation; recrystallization twinning behavior and its effect are related with the 1 Introduction texture of as received samples of magnesium alloys.
