Abstract
High strain rate rolling (HSRR) is developed to improve the strength, plasticity and stress corrosion resistance of 7050 aluminumalloy simultaneously. The volume fraction of the small-angle grain boundary in the HSRRed alloy sheet is 89.9%. TEM shows that the presence of dislocations and sub-grains promotes the precipitation of the second phase. The alloy inthe T6 state has the highest strength (622 MPa) and the biggest elongation to rupture (20.6%), but poor corrosion resistance. The over-aged state shows the best corrosion resistance. The RRA state can achieve the tensile strength equivalent to T6 of614 MPa, the highest yield strength of 561 MPa and corrosion resistance comparable to the over-aged state. TEM observationshows the existence of sub-grains and dislocations plays an important role in the nucleation of the second phase. Thehigh strength can be attributed to the higher volume fraction of the precipitates, and the high plasticity can be attributed tothe higher work hardening rate. The better corrosion resistance can be ascribe to the wider precipitate-free zones at the grainboundary and the presence of the larger size second phase particles.
