Abstract:Strengthening of aluminium alloys 7xxx through the imposition of severe plastic deformation supplemented by ageing treatments is a challenge due to the limited workability of these alloys in cold deformation regimes. This study aims to comprehensively investigate the strengthening of aluminium alloy 7005 through the imposition of severe plastic deformation supplemented by two different ageing treatments: pre-deformation artificial ageing or post- deformation natural ageing. For this purpose, microstructure evolutions of the alloy processed through mentioned procedures were studied using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy while the alloy strengthening was evaluated using Vickers hardness measurement. Results show that a superlative strengthening is obtained through the imposition of severe plastic deformation supplemented by post-deformation natural ageing. For instance, the yield strength of the alloy increases to more than 400 MPa, about one-third greater than the counterpart amount after the usual T6 treatment. This superlative strength mainly occurs due to refinement of grains, an increase of dislocation density and an increase of volume fraction of the precipitates that appeared during natural ageing. Considering the applied models, it is inferred that the increase of volume fraction of precipitates that appeared during natural ageing has a determinative role in the strengthening of the alloy.
