Abstract
In this study, microstructural changes due to extrusion, rolling and heat treatment were studied to fabricate Al-4.0wt%Zn-1.5wt%Mg-0.9wt%Cu alloys with homogeneous microstructure suitable for metal cases of smart phones and electronic products fabricated through plastic working. After extrusion microstructure and texture were developed very differently on the surface and inside. Inside, coarse grains were formed and a strong Cube component orientation was developed. On the surface, a weak texture was developed with small grains. After 72% cold rolling the intensity of the Cube component orientation was lower, and uniform texture was developed in all the layers and the R-value was uniformly predicted. After recrystallization, the grain size difference between at the surface and the inside is smaller, when 72% rolling was performed, indicating that a uniform structure is formed. Texture develops almost randomly after recrystallization and exhibits uniform R-values at all layers.
