The superplastic deformation behaviors of 7075Al alloy have been characterized experimentally and analyzed by the internal variable theory of inelastic deformation. A simple rheological model including the grain boundary sliding has been used to interpret the superplastic deformation behaviors. A series of load relaxation and tensile tests have been carried out for 7075Al alloy at the various temperatures. The superplastic deformation of 7075Al alloy is confirmed to consist of the grain boundary sliding and accommodating grain matrix defprmation.

본 연구는 7075 알루미늄 합금의 용가재에 따른 GTA용접공정의 기계적 특성을 평가 하기위해 인장시험, 미세경도 시험과 같은 실험을 실시하였다. 방사선비파괴 시험 결과 KS D 0242규격의 1급의 기준에 만족하였으며 용가재에 따른 용접의 결함증가 등의 문제점은 없는 것으로 판단된다. 인장시험 결과 Al 7075를 용가재로 사용하였을 때에만 용접부에서 파단이 일어났으며 Al 7075, ER 4043의 용가재에 따른 인장강도는 각각 240MPa, 253MPa로 나타나며 항복강도는 각각 132MPa, 120MPa로 나타났으며 연신율은 각각 6.6%, 13%로 나타났다. 미세경도시험 결과 Al 7075를 용가재로 사용했을 때 용착금속부는 경화되어 Hv132로 나타났으며 ER 4043을 사용한 시편의 용착금속부의 경도는 각각 약 24% 감소하여 나타났다. Al 7075의 용접의 경우 같은 합금 조성의 용가재를 사용하여 용접 하면 용착금속부가 경화하여 용착금속부에서 파괴가 일어날 수 있으므로 같은 합금의 조성의 용가재를 사용하지 않는 것이 바람직하다. 위와 같은 실험을 통하여 7075 알루미늄합금의 용접시 같은 합금 조성의 용가재인 Al 7075를 사용하는 것 보다는 Al-Si계인 ER 4043을 용가재를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.

Conventional hot forging and thixoforging of Al 7075 alloy have been compared with respect to microstructures, formability and hardness. Two distinctive temperature-strain rate ranges for hot forging of Al 7075 alloy were observed from the results of simple compression tests with strain rates of 10-3∼101 sec-1 in the temperatures between $250^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C.$ In the dynamic recovery range (low temperature-high strain rate range) multi-stage forging was necessary to form a complex shape part due to the lack of formability. In the high temperature-low strain rate range, in which dynamic recrystallization takes place a complex shaped park could be formed by single-stage forging. About 50% cold working in the SIMA process was necessary to get a fine and homogeneous microstructures. Microstructural study suggest that thixoforged Al 7075 part has fine grains and homogeneous microstructures. Its hardness number is almost same to that of conventional hot forged part after aging treatment.

The effects of heat treatments (T6 and T73) on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and high cycle fatigue behavior of modified AA7075 alloys were investigated. A modified 7075 alloy was manufactured using modified-Mg (Mg-Al2Ca) instead of the conventional element Mg. Based on the microstructure, the average grain size was 4.5 ㎛ (T6) and 5.2 ㎛ (T73). Regardless of heat treatment, the modified AA7075 alloys consisted of Al matrix containing homogeneously distributed Al2CuMg and MgZn2 phases with reduced Fe-intermetallic compound. Room temperature tensile tests showed that the properties of modified 7075-T6 (Y.S.: 622MPa, T.S: 675MPa, elongation: 15.4%) were superior to those of T73 alloy (Y.S.: 492MPa, T.S: 548MPa, elongation: 12.8%). Experimental data show that the fatigue life of T6 was 400 MPa, about 64% of its yield strength. However, the fatigue life of T73 alloy was 330 MPa and 67%. Irrespective of the stress level, all crack initiation points were located on the specimen surface, and no inclusions acting as stress concentrators were seen. Superior mechanical properties and high cycle fatigue behavior of modified AA7075-T6 alloy are attributed to the fine grains and homogeneous distribution of small second phases such as MgZn2 and Al2CuMg, in addition to reduced Fe-intermetallic compounds.

Thixo-extrusion of semi-solid 7075 aluminum alloy and the mechanical properties of its extrudates were investigated. The semisolid alloy was prepared by a cooling slope cast. In other to perform thixo-extrusion, semi-solid 7075 aluminum alloy billets were reheated at the reheating conditions reported in a previous study. The maximum extrusion pressure in thixo-extrusion was 615MPa. This was lower than that of conventional hot extrusion ($P_{max}=940MPa$) at the same extrusion conditions due to the increased fluidity of the alloy billet in the semi-solid state. The values of Rockwell hardness (scale B) at the extrusion direction of the as thixoextruded bar were 48~53HRB and the difference in Rockwell hardness between the transverse direction and the extrusion direction was 5HRB or less. The results show that thxio-extrusion of semi-solid 7075 Al alloy improves the workability and anisotropic with the extrusion direction compared with hot extrusion of the conventional alloy.

The Substitution development of 7075-T6 Al alloy to 7050-T74 Al alloy in small arms to improve anti-stress corrosion cracking was processed along with mass productivity consideration. To meet 7050 Al alloy material characteristics Indirect extrusion type was adopted and local heating above recrystalization temperature in forging process had to be avoided. The T74 aging treatment was 12$0^{\circ}C$ -6hrs and 175$^{\circ}C$ -12hrs and was appropriate for both machanical and anti-cohesion properties. In accessment of field application test 7050Al alloy made parts of small arms showed equivalent or better performance than 7075 Al alloy.

The present work is concerned with the formation behavior of anodic oxide films on Al7075 alloy under a galvanostatic condition in 20 vol.% sulfuric acid solution. The formation behaviour of anodic oxide films was studied by the analyses of voltage-time curves and observations of colors, morphologies and thicknesses of anodic films with anodization time. Hardness of the anodic oxide films was also measured with anodization time and at different positions in the anodic films. Six different stages were observed with anodiziation time : barrier layer formation (stage I), pore formation (stage II), growth of porous films (stage III), abnormal rapid oxide growth (stage IV), growth of non-uniform oxide films (stage V) and breakdown of the thick oxide films under high anodic voltages (stage VI). Hardness of the anodic oxide films appeared to decrease with increasing anodization time and with the position towards the outer surface. This work provides useful information about the thickness, uniformity, imperfections and hardness distribution of the anodic oxide films formed on Al7075 alloy in sulfuric acid solution.

In this study, electron microscopy, Fractography and $J_{IC}$ test have been used to investigate the fracture behaviour in the scope of aging temperature which 7075 Al-alloy can have high strength. Conclusions obtained on this study are as followed. 1) When the 7075 Al-alloy was aged for 24hrs at $120^{\circ}C$, it's mechanical properties was excellent but fracture toughness decrement resulted from intergranular fracture was emerged. 2) The state of aged for 24hrs at $100^{\circ}C$, had the highest fracture toughess. 3) We could infer that intergranular fracture occurred because preferrential precpitated precipitates in the grain boundary growed in the form of colinear along the grain boundary.

Fatigue crack growth rates(i.e. crack initiation and crack growth of short and long crack) are investigated using commercial plates of high strength Al alloy 7075-T651 for the transverse-longitudinal(T-L) direction in air, water and sea water. Also, the evaluation direct current potential drop(D.C.P.D) method and the fractographical analysis by SEM are carried out. Near threshold region, short crack growth rates were much faster than those of comparable long cracks, and these short crack growth rates actually decrease with increasing crack growth and eventually merge with long crack data. Fatigue crack propagation rates in aggressive media(i.e. sea water) increase noticeably over three times those in air. One of the most significant characters in this phenomenon as a corrosion-fatigue causes an acceleration in crack growth rates. Sea water environment, particularly Cl$^{[-10]}$ solution brings the most detrimental effects to aluminum alloy. The result of fractographical morphology in air, water and sea water by SEM shows obvious dimpled rupture and typical striation in air, but transgranular fracture surface in water and sea water.
