Effect of aging treatment on mechanical properties of an age-hardenable aluminum alloy after equal channel angular pressing at room temperature has been investigated using hardness, stress–strain behavior and surface fractography. Aluminum alloy 7075 was pressed after solution treatment. Yield stress, ultimate stress and hardness of pressed samples have increased significantly compared with those of coarse grain, but the elongation to failure has decreased. Also the pressed specimens were subjected to aging treatment at room temperature and temperatures of 80 °C, 100 °C, 120 °C and 140 °C to obtain the optimized strength and ductility. The results indicated that post–equal channel angular pressing aging at 80 °C has resulted in the maximum strength, and natural aging has resulted in good ductility and acceptable strength. It confirmed the fact that there is a potential in obtaining high strength and good ductility in age-hardenable alloys employing severe plastic deformation and subsequent aging.

 This research aims to study the effect of using the anodizing process on the corrosion rate, mechanical properties as well as the fatigue life for aluminum alloy (7075-T73), which is one of the most commonly used aluminum alloy in production of aircrafts, vehicles and ships structures. The anodizing process was employed through using sulfuric acid for time (20) min in a salty atmosphere. The mechanical properties and fatigue life of the AA7075-T73 were obtained before and after the anodizing process. All the results were listed in detailed tables and figures for comparison purpose. Generally, these results showed a decrease in corrosion rate by (155.06%) in comparison with untreated, an increase in hardness by (21.54%) and a slight decrease in fatigue life by (7.7%) due to anodizing for a time of 20 min at the stress level of (σa = 491.10 MPa). It was concluded that this technique could be applied on other aluminum alloys in order to know the magnitude of change in the mechanical characteristics and their fatigue life.
