  4. Abstract:
  5. A model has been proposed to capture the complex strain rate effect on dynamic precipitation of GP zones in an age-hardenable aluminum alloy. The contributions of vacancies and dislocations to dynamically formed GP zones have been specified in the model. It has been demonstrated that the proposed model is capable for predicting the contribution of each dynamic precipitation mechanisms, accurately, which are acting during deformation. Furthermore, the vacancy and dislocation evolutions during deformation have been considered in this modeling. The effect of strain rate by considering different mechanisms of dynamic precipitation of GP zones has been studied and confirmed by experimental data reported in the work of other researchers. Both experimental results and model outputs demonstrate that at high strain rate regime, strain rate dependency of dynamic precipitation is increased and in comparison with vacancy-assisted nucleation, dislocation-assisted nucleation of GP zones is encouraged. In this study, the mutual effects of dislocation density and dynamic precipitation have been considered. Outputs of model demonstrate that there is a weak negative strain rate sensitivity in the age-hardenable supersaturated aluminum alloy
