Abstract:

Hot workability of Zr-2.5Nb-0.5Cu alloy has been investigated by means of hot compression test using Gleeble-3800®, in the temperature and strain rate range of 700 to 925°C and 0.01-10s-1, respectively. Deformation behavior was characterized in terms of flow instability using peak stress with the help of Lyapunov Function. The true stress-strain curves shows that softening occurs at all lower temperature and for entire strain rates of deformation. The instable flow was suggested by negative m value at deformation condition of 700°C (5 and 10 s-1), while s value at 925°C (10 s-1). The combined result of rate of change of m and s with respect to log strain rate suggest that the deformation condition ranges from 725-780°C (10-2- 10-1 s-1) and 700°C (1-10 s-1) representing safe domain for stable flow.
