Abstract
This study investigated the effects of aging heat treatment on the change of thermal properties of 7075 Al alloy using differential scanning calorimetry and a laser flash apparatus. The thermal diffusivity showed different trends in the three temperature ranges: In the range from room temperature to 160°C, the thermal diffusivity increased with increasing temperature. Between 160 and 240°C, the thermal diffusivity increased with an increase in the temperature of the specimen. Precipitation was completed at 240°C or higher, and the thermal diffusivity decreased with an increase in the temperature of the specimen. The amount of precipitation of η′ and η phases did not affect the change in thermal diffusivity but only contributed to the improvement of micro-hardness.
