Abstract
The evolution of microstructure and porous defects of a spray-formed 7000 Aluminum alloy is researched in this paper. The spray-formed alloy is treated by hot isostatic pressing (HIP), homogenization, hot extrusion, solution and aging treatment. Metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and tensile test are used to research the microstructure and mechanical properties. The results show that, there are two kinds of porous defects in spray-formed alloy, which has gas and no gas. The porous defects of spray-formed ingot can be mostly eliminated by HIP and hot extrusion. After solution and aging treatment, the tensile strength and elongation reach 757MPa and 10.2%, respectively.
