Abstract:Mechanical properties test, electrical conductivity, differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), microstructure observation and texture analysis were used to investigate the effect of pre-ageing temperature, retrogression heating rate, recrystallization and Taylor factor on the microstructure, properties and through-thickness inhomogeneity of 7A55-RRA treated aluminum alloy thick plates. The results show that, the precipitates (η'''' and η) with relatively lower density and coarsened size in central layer results in lower hardness value and higher electrical conductivity than those of surface layer. The inhomogeneity of hardness and electrical conductivity decrease with the retrogression rate decreasing regardless of the pre-ageing temper. However, the substructure strengthening effect decreases and the recrystallized texture increases due to the deeper degree of recrystallization after solid solution in surface layer. The lower Taylor factor in surface layer results in a lower yield strength along rolling direction. The thick plate obtains a similar properties as that of traditional RRA after under ageing + slow heating retrogression and re-ageing, and the slow heating rate much more fits the engineering reality for thick plate heat treatment.
