A Flow Stress Equation of AA5005 Aluminum Alloy Based on Fields-Backofen Model

Abstract

Tensile tests on AA5005 alloy were conducted on model MTS-810 tensile test machine during temperature 633-773 K and strain rate 0.0003-0.03 s-1. The flow stress–true strain curves were obtained. In order to analyze the flow stress behavior of aluminum AA5005 alloy, the phenomenological Fields-Backofen equation based on the fitting regression analysis was developed. The flow stress values calculated by the obtained model keep coincidence with experimental values. Eventually, the statistical analysis methods (correlation coefficient (R), average absolute relative error (AARE)) were adopted to examine the credibility of the established model. Results show that the R-value is 0.99592 and the AARE is 3.3128 %, which indicates the high fitting accuracy of the Fields-Backofen equation. Consequently, the Fields-Backofen model can describe the constitutive relationship of AA5005 alloy credibly.
