The hot deformation behavior of ZA27 alloy was investigated in the temperature range of 473-523 K with the strain rates in the range of 0.01-5 s -1 and the height reduction of 60 % on Gleeble-1500 thermo mechanical simulator. Based on the experimental results, constitutive equations incorporating the effects of temperature, strain rate, and strain have been developed to model the hot deformation behavior of ZA27 alloy. Material constants, a, n, ln A, and activation energy Q in the constitutive equations were calculated as a function of strain. The results showed that the stress-strain curves of ZA27 alloy predicted by the constitutive equations are in good agreement with experimental results, which validates the efficiency of the constitutive equations in describing the hot deformation behavior of the material.
