Abstract
The heat treatment characteristic of the 7005 aluminum alloys was studied by mechanical properties measurement and TEM. The results show that, during the process of aging at 105°C after on-line quenching, the hardness(HB) of alloy increases quickly at first and reach about 100 HB after aging for 8h and 125 HB after 50 h, then the hardness increases slowly with increasing aging time, and the hardness does not reach the peak value even the alloy is aged for 200 h. After aging at (105°C, 8 h)+(155°C, 8 h), the mechanical properties of 7005 aluminum alloy are σb=395 MPa, σ0.2=330 MPa, δ=12%, 117 HB. If the aging of alloy at high temperature (155°C, 180°C) or the two-stage aging is too long, the precipitated phases of the alloy will grow and coarsen, and then the alloy strength decreases.
