Pre-aged Mg-6Zn-1Gd-1Er alloy is a novel rapid aging hardening Mg alloy, and studying its hot deformation behavior has an important role in promoting the development of lightweight alloy materials. To study this, the flow stress curves of pre-aged Mg-6Zn-1Gd-1Er alloy at 180–380 °C and 10 −3 −10 s −1  were obtained by isothermal compression tests. The constitutive equations of the medium-high temperature deformation (MHTD) and the low-temperature deformation (LTD) were established, and their activation energies were 155.78 kJ mol −1  and 178.00 kJ mol −1 , respectively. Based on the constitutive equation analysis, the glide and climb of dislocations and the cross-slip of dislocations was the deformation mechanism during MHTD and LTD, respectively. In order to determine the appropriate hot processing parameters, the hot processing map of the pre-aged Mg-6Zn-1Gd-1Er alloy under 0.2–0.8 strain was constructed based on the dynamic material model. The hot processing maps indicate that this pre-aged alloy at low temperature (180–230 °C) and high strain rates (1–10 s −1 ) mainly occurs flow instability, and the optimal hot processing window appears at a 330–380 °C and 10 −3  to 10 −2  s −1  range. Furthermore, the deformation mechanism of the stable domain with high power dissipation efficiency in the hot processing map was continuous dynamic recrystallization, discontinuous dynamic recrystallization, and particle-stimulated nucleation mechanisms.
