The effects of Ag addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of 7050 Al alloy were investigated. Various homogenizing and aging treatments were carried out to analyze the controversial effects of Ag in 7050 Al alloy. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was used for microstructural analysis. The hardening precipitates(${\eta}^{\prime}$) become finer with Ag addition. It suggests that Ag promotes easier nucleation of ${\eta}{\prime}$. The strength of overaged Ag bearing alloys are higher than that of Ag free alloy. Hardening precipitates(${\eta}^{\prime}$) in Ag bearing alloys are smaller than that of Ag free alloys, because the growth rate of ${\eta}^{\prime}$ during overaging stage is lower in Ag bearing alloys.

The effects of thermomechanical treatments on microstructure and fatigue properties of 7050 Al alloy were investigated. The precipitation kinetics changed to a faster rate due to cold deformation employed in this special TAHA thermomechanical treatments including pre-aging, plastic deformation and two step final-aging. The G.P. zones in the under-aged condition were cut by dislocations and dissolved during the plastic deformation. During the low cycle fatigue, the T6' condition showed cyclic hardening behavior whereas the TMT5, TMT27 and T76 conditions showed cyclic softening at above 0.7% total strain amplitudes. The ${\Delta}K_{th}$ value of TMT27 was improved more than two times, compared with that of T76 condition. The T6' with small shearable precipitates resulted in the markedly high ${\Delta}K_{th}$ value. This is thought to be resulted from dislocation reversibility and roughness-induced crack closure due to planarity of slip.

7050AI합금의 미세조직 및 기계적성질에 미치는 2단시효처리의 영향을 투과전자현미경, 열분석, 경도시험 및 인장 시험을 통하여 조사하였다. 12$0^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 1차 시효처리한 후 1$65^{\circ}C$와 175$^{\circ}C$에서 2차 시효처리하였을때 1$65^{\circ}C$에서는 6시간 시효시 최대경도값 201.3Hv를 나타내었고, 175$^{\circ}C$에서는 3시간 시효처리하였을때 최대경도값 197Hv를 나타내었다.

7050 AI합금을 RRA 처리하였을 때 경도, 전기전도도 및 미세조직의 변화를 조사하였다. 120도씨에서 24시간 동안 1차 시효처리한 후 175도씨에서 2차 퇴화처리하였을 때 경도값의 변화는 초기에 감소하다가 피크 경도를 보인 다음 다시 감소하였으며, 3차 재시효처리재가 2차 시효처리재 보다 큰 경도값을 나타내었다. 2차 퇴화처리시 초기 경도 감소는 T6의 주 강화상인 GP zone의 부분적인 분해에 의한 것이며, 3차 재시효 처리하였을 때 강화상은 GP zone과 파이상이었다. 120도씨에서 24시간 동안 1차 시효처리한 후 175도씨에서 2차 퇴화처리하였을 때 전기전도도 변화는 퇴화 쵤부터 연속적으로 증가혀였으며, 3차 재시효처리에 의해 2차 퇴화처리시 보다 %IACS가 0.5 ~ 2.7 증가하였다. 3단시효에 의해 T6정도의 강도를 유지하면서 38%IACS값 이상의 전기전도도를 얻을 수 있는 최적 퇴화처리 조건은 $175^{\circ}C$ 50분이었다. 이는 퇴화처리 경도곡선의 극소점 또는 극대점과 무관하며 오히려 약간 과시효 조건이다.

Fretting damage reduces fatigue life of the material due to low amplitude cyclic sliding and changes in the contact surfaces of strongly connected machine and structures such as bolt, key, fixed rivet and connected shaft, which have relative slip of repeatedly very low frequency amplitude. In this study, the fretting fatigue behavior of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloys used mainly in aircraft and automobile industry were evaluated. The plain fatigue test and fretting fatigue test under cyclic bending load carried out commercial bending fatigue tester and specially devised equipments to cause fretting damage. From these experimental work, the following results obtained: (1) The plain fatigue limit for stress ratio R=-l was about 151MPa. (2) In case of fretting fatigue, fatigue limit for stress ratio R=-l about 72MPa, the fatigue limit for R=0 about 81MPa, and the fatigue limit for R=0.3 about 93MPa. (3) The fatigue limit reduction rates by the fretting damage were about 52%(R=-1), 46%(R=0) and 38%(R=0.3) respectively. (4) The fatigue limit reduction rate decreased with stress ratio increase. In fretting bending test, as stress ratio increased, occurrence of initial oblique crack by fretting decreased or phased out, so that fracture surfaces were formed by plain fatigue crack occurrence, and such tendency was notable as stress amplitude increased. (5) Tire tracks and rubbed scars were observed in the fracture surface and contacted surface.
