Abstract:The effects of retrogression and reaging (RRA) on the tensile property and fracture toughness of aluminum alloy 7050 were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, tensile and toughness tests. The results show that during the retrogression treating, one part of GP zone dissolves into Al matrix and the other grows, and then transforms into η′ phase. At the same time, the η′ phase transforms into η phase constantly. And the η phase becomes coarse gradually. With the retrogression time elongating, the strength of the alloy falls to a valley value before increasing to a peak value, and then monotonically decreases. Meanwhile, the strength of the reaged alloys first increases and then decreases. The strength of the reaged alloys is larger than that of the retrogressed alloys. With the retrogression time elongating, the fracture toughness of alloy 7050 RRA retrogressed at 190 ℃ increases. However, the fracture toughness of alloy 7050 RRA retrogressed at 170 ℃ and 150 ℃ increases to a peak value before decreasing to a valley value and then increases. The fracture toughness of the retrogressed alloys is larger than that of the reaged alloys. With the retrogression time elongating, the main fracture mechanism changes from the intergranular fracture to transgranular fracture.
