Elevated temperature isothermal compression of Al-7.3Zn-2.2Mg-2Cu (Al7068) alloy in T6 condition was studied till a true strain of 0.69 in the working temperature and deformation rate range of 250–450 °C and 0.001–1 s?1, respectively. The rheological behaviour of the specimens showed a decrease in the flow stress values at the higher temperature and lower strain rates. The mean deformation activation energy at peak stress was estimated as 266 kJ/mol. 3D processing map suggested two safe working zones (I and II) for the current alloy. Zone I, with a peak efficiency of 57% located in the domain of 288–312 °C at 0.001 s?1, and zone II with an efficiency ≥ 48% located in the range of 400–450 °C and 0.001–0.044 s?1. The EBSD IPF micrograph of the compression specimens showed a dominance of deformed grains with few fine DRX grains near the grain boundary regions. The analysis showed that the microstructural evolution during hot compression progressed through the CDRX mechanism. TEM analysis confirmed precipitate coarsening with increase in processing temperature and decrease in the deformation rate.
