The hot deformation behavior of AA2014 forging aluminum alloy was investigated by isothermal compression tests at temperatures of 350-480 degrees C and strain rates of 0.001-1 s(-1) on a Gleeble-3180 simulator. The corresponding microstructures of the alloys under different deformation conditions were studied using optical microscopy (OM), electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The processing maps were constructed with strains of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7. The results showed that the instability domain was more inclined to occur at strain rates higher than 0.1 s(-1) and manifested in the form of local non-uniform deformation. At the strain of 0.7, the processing map showed two stability domains: domain I (350-430 degrees C, 0.005- 0.1 s(-1)) and domain II (450-480 degrees C, 0.001-0.05 s(-1)). The predominant softening mechanisms in both of the two domains were dynamic recovery. Uniform microstructures were obtained in domain I, and an extended recovery occurred in domain II, which would lead to the potential sub-grain boundaries progressively transforming into new high-angle grain boundaries. The optimum hot working parameters for the AA2014 forging aluminum alloy were determined to be 370-420 degrees C and 0.008-0.08 s(-1).
