7075 aluminum alloy melt conditioned by annular electromagnetic stirring(A-EMS) was cast in the TP1 mould, and the effects of pouring temperature, stirring current, stirring frequency and annular gap width on microstructures were analyzed. The A-EMS process exhibits superior grain refinement and remarkable structure homogeneity compared with conventional casting(N-EMS) and conventional electromagnetic stirring casting(EMS). With the increasing of the pouring temperature, the microstructures of the sample conditioned by A-EMS are inclined to become coarse and non-uniform compared with which have the more serious inclination conditioned by N-EMS. With the stirring current or stirring frequency increasing, the rosette-like or dendritic primary α(Al) phase decreases significantly on the sample microstructures, and the non-dendritic primary α(Al) phase is finer and more spherical. Narrow annular gap is advantageous to obtain uniformly fine spherical solidification microstructures.

It is the objective of this study to investigate the effect of ECAP processing and heat treatment on the mechanical properties of the UFG 7075 alloy. Also the effect of post ECAP heat treatment is investigated. The alloy is processed by ECAP after annealing as well as solution treatment to produce an UFG structure. Furthermore mechanical properties and their variations during annealing and aging are investigated. The hardness of the pre-ECAP annealed and the pre-ECAP solutionised 7075 aluminum alloy has increased significantly compared with that of the CG sample. Also hardness of ECAPed specimen has not experienced significant changes in post-ECAP heat treatment and indicated that the alloy had approximately good thermal stability.
