In this paper, the static softening mechanism of a 2219 aluminum alloy was studied based on a double-pass isothermal compression test. For the experiment, different temperatures (623 K, 723 K, and 773 K), strain rates (0.1/s, 1/s, and 10/s), deformation ratios (20%, 30%, and 40%), and insulation periods (5 s, 30 s, and 60 s) were used. Based on the double-pass flow stress curves obtained from the experiment, the step rate expressed by the equivalent dynamic recrystallization fraction is dependent on the deformation parameters, which increases with the increase in strain rate and insulation time, while it decreases with the increase in temperature and strain. Based on the microstructure observed using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), the static softening mechanism of the Al 2219 alloy is mainly static recovery and incomplete static recrystallization. A new expression for the static recrystallization fraction is proposed using the reduction rate of the sub-grain boundary. The dependent rule on the deformation parameters is consistent with the step rate, but it is of physical significance. In addition, the modified static recrystallization kinetics established by the new SRX fraction method was proven to have a good modeling and prediction performance under given deformation conditions.
