Characterization of Solution Treatment on AA7A55 Alloy
Keyword(s):
The thermal stability of constituent particles in both as-rolled and solution treated in AA7A55 has been investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three types of solution treatments were used to dissolve particles constituents. Whereas the degree of recrystallization aggravates which deteriorates the properties with increasing the solution temperature, a significant amount of recrystallization exists after utilizing 480°C solution treatment whereas a much smaller extent from 480°C to 490°C. And electrochemical and exfoliation corrosion matched with the degree of recrystallization. With increasing the recrystallization the corrosion become worse.
