In order to find material parameters of established Zener-Hollomon constitutive equations and predict high-temperature flow stress of Al-14Cu-7Ce alloy, isothermal hot compression tests were conducted using a Gleeble 3500 thermomechanical simulator at constant stain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 s(-1) and at temperatures ranging from 300 to 550 degrees C at intervals of 50 degrees C. The effects of strain rate and temperature on hot deformation behavior were represented by Zener-Hollomon parameter including Arrhenius term. Four material constants alpha, n, A and activation energy Q in the equations were calculated by compensation of strain. The results show that the proposed constitutive equations give a precise estimate for high temperature flow stress of Al-14Cu-7Ce alloy, which means it can be used for numerical simulation of hot deformation process and for choosing proper deformation parameter in engineering practice accurately.
