摘要
The tensile properties, exfoliation corrosion behavior and microstructures of the retrogression and re-aging (RRA) treated aluminum (Al) alloy AA7150 were studied. AA7150 was retrogressed at different temperatures (175 degrees C, 185 degrees C and 195 degrees C) for various times. it is found that as the hardness of the retrogressed AA7150 approaches the near-peak condition, the corresponding RRA treated AA7150 possesses good exfoliation corrosion resistance without strength loss. By retrogressing at 175 degrees C, the retrogression time can be extended to 3 h, the RRA treated AA7150 possesses a strength as high as that of conventional AA7150-T6, and its exfoliation corrosion resistance is in the vicinity to that of AA7150-T73. This enhanced exfoliation corrosion resistance was associated with the more separated eta precipitates at the grain boundary. AA7150-T6 is mainly strengthened by fine GP zones with high number density, while the intra-grain micro-structure of AA7150-RRA retrogressed at 175 degrees C for 3 h is characterized by relatively coarse eta' precipitates.
