In this work, the finite element method simulated the symmetrical hot rolling process of 7050 aluminum alloy plate. The simulation result show that different thickness layers of 7050 aluminum alloy plate experienced different temperature and strain history in the rolling process, which leads to the difference of recrystallization fraction along the thickness direction and affects the distribution of grain size. The grain size of 7050 aluminum alloy rolled plate was obtained by the metallographic test, which was in good agreement with the simulation result. The true stress-strain curve and yield strength of 7050 aluminum alloy were acquired by hot compression test. Subsequently, a prediction model of yield strength was constructed based on the Hall–Patch relationship. The result show that the predicted inhomogeneity reached 8.7%, and the difference was about 5.3% compared with that of the experimental value.

The microstructure of Al-1.01Mg-1.11Si-0.38Cu-0.69Mn aluminum alloy plate hot-rolled from homogenization and homogenization-free ingots were investigated by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy assisted with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). The results showed that there are 3 main kinds of constituents such as Mg2Si, AlCuMgSi and AlFeMnSi in the as-cast Al-1.01Mg-1.11Si-0.38Cu-0.69Mn aluminum alloy ingot. After homogenization treated at 545°C for 24h, the black Mg2Si and the white bright AlCuMgSi particles in the ingot dissolved into matrix, but the grey AlFeMnSi phase partly dissolved, contracted into sphere and become coarse, many ultrafine dispersoids appear in the dendritic arms. The constituents in the plates hot-rolled from the homogenization and homogenization-free ingots are both distributed as broken chains along the rolling direction. However, compared with the particles configuration in the plate that hot-rolled from homogenization ingot, the particles in the plate that hot-rolled from the homogenization-free ingot are finer, more numerous and more homogenous, and with insufficient recrystallization when the plates are solution treated at 545°C for 2 h and then water quenched.

Plastic anisotropy of the as-rolled 7050 aluminum alloy plate with T7451 temper was investigated by tensile tests, OM, SEM and TEM. The results show that the as-rolled 7050 aluminum alloy plate shows plastic anisotropy. The values of the as-rolled 7050 aluminum alloy plate deformed along ST, LT and RD are 7.178%, 10.69% and 12.877%, respectively. The as-rolled 7050 aluminum plate can be considered as a materials with two phases. Microstructure, especially grain shape and precipitate configuration, is the main source of plastic anisotropy of the as-rolled 7050 aluminum alloy plate with T7451 temper.

In the present study, the fatigue life and fatigue fracture characteristics of annealed 7005 aluminum alloy plates subjected to different pre-tensile deformations were investigated. The results obtained upon increasing the pre-tensile deformation of the alloy plate to 20% revealed that the second-phase particles did not show any obvious changes, and that the thickness of the thin strip grain slightly decreased. The dislocation distribution in the alloy matrix varied significantly among the grains or within each grain as the dislocation density gradually increased with increasing pre-tensile deformation. Moreover, the fatigue performance of the annealed 7005 aluminum alloy plate was significantly improved by the pre-tensile deformation, and the alloy plate subjected to 20% pre-tensile deformation exhibited an optimal fatigue life of ~1.06 × 106 cycles, which was 5.7 times and 5.3 times that of the undeformed and 3% pre-stretched alloy plates, respectively. Two fatigue life plateaus were observed in the pre-tensile deformation ranges of 3–5% and 8–12%, which corresponded to heterogeneous dislocation distribution among various grains and within each grain, respectively. Moreover, two large leaps in the plot of the fatigue-life–pre-tensile-deformation curve were observed, corresponding to the pre-tensile deformation ranges of 5–8% and 16–20%, respectively.

Dissimilar metal lap joining of A5052 aluminum alloy plate and C1100 pure copper plate was performed by using friction stir spot welding. The rotating welding tool, which was composed of a probe part and a shoulder part, was plunged from the aluminum alloy plate which was overlapped on the copper plate, and residual aluminum alloy thickness under the probe part of the welding tool after plunging of the welding tool was controlled in the range from 0 mm to 0.4 mm. The strength of the welding interface was evaluated by using tensile-shear test. Microstructure of the welding interface was examined by using an optical microscope and a field emission scanning electron microscope. The welding was achieved at the residual aluminum alloy thickness under the probe part of the welding tool below 0.3 mm. The welded area was formed at aluminum alloy/copper interface located under the probe part of the welding tool, and its width increased with decreasing the residual aluminum alloy thickness. A characteristic laminate structure was produced in the copper matrix near the welding interface. In the joint fabricated at the residual aluminum alloy thickness below 0.1 mm, hook of Cu was formed at edge of the welded area. The fracture did not occur at the welding interface. A remarkable improvement in strength was observed in the joint fabricated at the residual aluminum alloy thickness below 0.1 mm. The formation of laminate structure and hook is considered to result in joint strength improvement.
