The hot deformation behavior of an Al-Mg-Si-Zr-Mn alloy was investigated by performing uniaxial compression tests over a temperature range of 400–550 °C and strain-rate range of 0.001–1 s−1. A decline ratio map was generated and divided into three different domains to understand the correlation betw...
