Abstract:The investigations on quench sensitivity of 7000 series aluminum alloys were reviewed. The mechanism for quench sensitivity was discussed. The methods to evaluate quench sensitivity were summarized. The influencing factors on quench sensitivity were discussed from chemical compositions, microstructure and processing parameters. It was supposed that it is probable to decrease the quench sensitivity by designing and adjusting alloy compositions and controlling microstructure precisely. The quench factor analysis method that can be used to predict properties was introduced, and the optimal quenching process of rapid cooling through critical temperature range and slow cooling in the high and low temperature range was suggested to obtain high mechanical properties and low residual stress.
Key words: 7000 series aluminum alloys; quench sensitivity; time—temperature—property (TTP) curve; end quenching; quench factor analysis
