Abstract
ABSTRACT7055 Al alloys samples were prepared by spray forming and hot-extrusion followed by two different aging treatment procedures. Their different distributions of GP zones, and nanoscale precipitates η′ (MgZn) and η (MgZn2) are extensively investigated by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The mechanical properties, including tensile strength, Vickers hardness and elongation of both aged 7055 Al alloys, have also been measured and analysed. It is found that T6 and T76 aging treatment results in quite different microstructure and mechanical properties. The outstanding performance of the 7055 Al alloys after T6 aging treatment is attributed to nanoscale semi-coherent dispersion precipitates.
