Effects of Aging Temperature, Time, and Pre-Strain on Mechanical Properties of AA7075

Aluminum alloys of the 7xxx series (AA7075) are preferred in the aerospace and automotive industries due to their low densities, high strength, good corrosion resistance properties. Additionally, these alloys show the most effective aging properties among aluminum alloys. For this reason, it is very important to determine the most appropriate aging parameters for microstructural development. Literature review reveals that the effect of pre-strain on springback has not been studied yet. In this study, the effects of aging temperature, time, and pre-strain on mechanical properties are investigat...
