Abstract:An intermediate thermal-mechanical treatment (ITMT), which includes reinforced solid solution, over-aging, heavy strain by combination of multi-directional forging and rolling at warm temperature and re-crystallization by fast heating was proposed and studied for structure refining of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Cr alloy thick plates. The structures evolution laws and the mechanism of grain refining with the above ITMT were studied by means of OM, EDS and TEM. Then the qualifications of controlling the grain size under discontinuous re-crystallization were discussed. The results show that ITMT process can make Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Cr alloy thick plates deform sufficiently and equally, also make the structure of re-crystallization refine effectively, though the rolling reduction is not more than 80%. The average re-crystallization grain size is refined to around 8 μm in the short transverse direction and 12 μm in the vertical or long transverse direction. Most of the secondary particles are refined to less than 3 μm. The mechanism of grain refining for ITMT can be summarized as: the fine, homogenous and equal-axial grains are refined by discontinuous re-crystallization, making full use of the heavy strain energy formed by the severe plastic deformation and the feasible size and distribution of secondary particles formed chiefly in the over-aging.
