A constitutive model capable of predicting material flow behavior with high precision is essential for optimizing secondary processing parameters through simulation techniques. In this study, the hot deformation behavior of aluminum 5083+10 wt pct SiC particulate composite was predicted using constitutive equations based on the modified Johnson–Cook (JC), modified Zerilli–Armstrong (ZA), and strain-compensated Arrhenius models. The models were established on the basis of the true stress–strain values obtained from an isothermal hot compression test conducted on the INSTRON 8801 universal tensile testing machine under a temperature range of 473 K to 773 K and strain rate of 0.01 to 10 s{sup −1}. The prediction ability of the modified models was compared by calculating the correlation coefficient (R), average absolute relative error, and relative error. All the models could precisely predict the hot flow behavior of the composite. The modified ZA model had the highest accuracy. The JC model required the least number of material constants and had the lowest calculation time, followed by the modified ZA and strain-compensated Arrhenius models.
