Abstract:The effects of step-homogenization on the microstructures, dendritic segregation, precipitation of Al3Zr particles and ultimate mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 7055 were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and tensile test. The result show that the step-homogenization treatment, which comprises of the isothermal heating of the ingots at 468 ℃ for 24 h, then heating to 473 ℃ for 4 h, greatly eliminates the nonequilibrium solidified eutectic which exists on the grain boundaries. The previous heating at 264 ℃ is most favorable for the precipitation of fine and uniformly distributed Al3Zr particles. The additional short-term and high temperature heating at 473 ℃ on the basis of single-stage homogenization maximizes the solution ability of solid solute in the matrix, enhances the ageing strengthening effect and improves the comprehensive properties of the alloy.
