Direct soldering of the aluminum alloy 7075 is very difficult or even impossible. In order to make it possible, galvanic coatings and the procedures for their application on alloy surfaces were developed. The paper presents structures and mechanical properties of soldered joints of the 7075 alloy, made in indirect way with use of electrolytically deposited Ni-P and Cu-Cr coatings. Application of the newly developed Ni-P and Cu-Cr coatings on base surfaces of the 7075 alloy is described. The results of wettability examination of the S-Sn97Cu3 solder in the droplet test and by spreading on the coatings applied on the 7075 substrates are presented. The wettability angle of both coatings was lower than 30°. The results of metallographic examinations with use of light and electron microscopy are presented. It was shown that adhesion of metallic coatings to the aluminum alloy is good, exceeding shear strength of the S-Sn97Cu3 solder. Shear strength of soldered joint was equal to 35 ± 3 MPa. Measured hardness of the Ni-P interlayer reached high value of 471 HV 0.025.

7075 Alloy

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.

Slurry Preparation

There is a strong demand for high-strength aluminum alloys such as 7075 aluminum alloy to be applied for rheocasting industry. The overriding challenge for the application of 7075 alloy is that its solid fraction is very sensitive to the variation of temperature in the range of 40% ~ 50% solid fraction, which inevitably narrows down the processing window of slurry preparation for rheocasting process. Therefore, in this work, a novel method to prepare semi-solid slurry of the 7075 alloy, so called Enthalpy Control Process (ECP), has been developed to grapple with this issue. In the method, a medium-frequency electromagnetic field was applied on the outside of slurry preparation crucible to reduce the temperature difference throughout the slurry. The effect of processing parameters, including heating power, heating time, the initial temperature of crucible and melt weight, on the temperature field of the semi-solid slurry was investigated. The results exhibited that although the all the processing parameters had a great influence on the average temperature of the slurry, heating time was the main factor affecting the maximum temperature difference of the slurry. The optimum processing parameters during ECP were found to be heating power of 7.5 KW, the initial temperature of crucible of 30 °C ~ 200 °C and melt weight of 2 kg.

The structural and functional properties of neurons have intrigued scientists since the pioneering work of Santiago Ramón y Cajal. Since then, emerging cutting-edge technologies, including light and electron microscopy, electrophysiology, biochemistry, optogenetics, and molecular biology, have dramatically increased our understanding of dendritic properties. This advancement was also facilitated by the establishment of different animal model organisms, from flies to mammals. Here we describe the emerging model system of a Caenorhabditis elegans polymodal neuron named PVD, whose dendritic tree follows a stereotypical structure characterized by repeating candelabra-like structural units. In the past decade, progress has been made in understanding PVD's functions, morphogenesis, regeneration, and aging, yet many questions still remain.

A study on vacuum diffusion bonding between as-extruded AZ31 magnesium alloy and 7075 aluminum alloy was carried out according to atomic diffusion theory. Recrystallization annealing was used for grain refinement of AZ31 magnesium alloy and 7075 aluminum alloy before the diffusion welding. The quality of the bonding joints was checked by shear test, micro-hardness test and microstructure analysis. Experimental results showed that the welding temperature and holding time have a great effect on the joint shear strength. The maximum of shear strength was 38.41MPa under the temperature of 470°C and the holding time of 60min. The result of micro-hardness measurement showed that the micro-hardness of welded joints was maximum. Three kinds of intermetallic compounds, Mg2A13, MgAl and Mgl7Al12, formed at the interfacial transition zone at 470°C.

7075 Alloy

Friction stir processing (FSP) is a method for controlling the microstructure that has been proposed by applying friction stir welding, FSW. In this study, microstructure and mechanical properties of a 7075 aluminum alloy subjected to multi-pass FSP, MP-FSP, are assessed to obtain fundamental knowledge for improving the plasticity of aluminum alloys. The MP-FSP has been applied to 7075 alloy plates with T6 and O tempers, and microstructural characterization has been made by means of optical and scanning electron microscopies together with EDX and EBSD analyses, while mechanical properties were measured by means of micro hardness and tensile tests at room and high temperatures. From microstructural observation, a new zone, PBZ, has been discovered between stir zones, SZs. The PBZ is composed of two types of (fine and coarse) grains, where the coarse grain contains many sub-grains. Hardness in PBZ is intermediate between that in BM and SZ both in T6 and O specimens; hardness generally decreases and increases in T6 and O specimens, respectively, by MP-FSP. In accord to the hardness change, strength at room temperature is decreased by MP-FSP in T6 specimen, and increased in O specimen. Elongation at 773K is increased both in T6 and O specimens because of superplastic deformation. However, local elongation is smaller in PBZ than in SZ, which can be attributed to the microstructural change by the deformation: grain shape remains equiaxed in SZ while it becomes elongated in the tensile direction in PBZ.

The article presents the results of tribological tests of Ni-P/Si3N4 nanocomposite and Ni-P nickel layers deposited on the AW-7075 aluminum alloy by chemical reduction method, and the AW-7075 alloy without coating. Nanocomposite layers were produced using Si3N4 siliconnitride in the form of a polydisperse powder whose particle sizes ranged from 20 to 25 nm. The influence of the content of the dispersion phase layer material on the abrasive wear, which was determined as the “ball on disc” method, was analyzed. Surface topography was examined by the contact method using a profilometer. The purpose of introducing Si3N4 particles into the Ni-P layer was to increase the wear resistance of AW-7075 aluminum alloy parts with an embedded nanocomposite coating. Based on the obtained test results, it was found that the Ni-P/Si3N4 layers are more resistant to wear than the Ni-P layers and the AW-7075 alloy layers, and are a good barrier against abrasive wear at various loads and environmental conditions.

Aluminum Alloy 7075

In this research, we studied the effect of change in artificial aging time and temperature on tensile strength and Microstructure for 7075 aluminum alloy, Where samples of aluminum alloy 7075 were treated with artificial aging at different temperatures are 120 ° C, 160 ° C and 200 ° C for 0.5, 1.5, 3, 18, 48 hours. When the 7075 aluminum alloy was artificially aged in of 120 ° C and 160 ° C, the values of ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the alloy were higher than when it was aged in 200 ° C. By increasing of artificial aging time, the UTS of 7075 aluminum alloy increased, when the aging temperature was 120 ° C or 160 ° C, while the UTS decreased when the aging temperature was 200 ° C. This is due to changes in the microstructure, grain size, and precipitating phases such as MgZn2.

The article presents the results of mechanical tests of Ni-P layers deposited by the chemical reduction method on the AW-7075 aluminum alloy. The effect of layer thickness on hardness and microhardness of Vickers, which was determined by the DSI method, and their adhesion to the substrate by scratch method were investigated. The morphology was obtained using light microscopy and the topography of the examined layers using a contact profilometer. Different thicknesses were used to determine their effect on adhesion of the leyers to AW-7075 alloy. The results allowed to state that Ni-P layers of higher thickness are characterized by higher hardness and Young's modulus values than thinner Ni-P layers, and also show better adhesion to the AW-7075 alloy.
