The warm deformation behavior of 65Mn spring steel has been carried out by a thermomechanical simulator. The deformation temperatures are in the range of 550 ~ 700℃ and strain rates are in the range of 0.001 ~ 1 s-1. The deformation activation energy is calculated to be 486.829 KJ•mol-1. The strain compensated Arrhenius-type constitutive model was established. The relationship materials constants and strain were fitted with an 8th order polynomial.  It was found that the strain has a significant influence on the instability map. At the strain is 0.3, the optimum flow zone may take place with the deformation temperatures higher than 626 ℃ and strain rate in the range of 0.001 ~ 1 s-1.
