FRACTOGRAPHIC AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ALLOY AA7075 SUBJECTED TO T6, T7 AND RRA HEAT TREATMENTS

Abstract

Esta investigación presenta un estudio fractográfico de la aleación AA7075 sometida a los tratamientos térmicos T6, T7 y RRA, y cómo estos procedimientos térmicos afectan sus propiedades mecánicas. Las muestras fueron evaluadas mediante ensayos de tracción; su fractografía mediante Microscopía Electrónica de Barrido (SEM). Todos los tratamientos generaron un incremento en la resistencia mecánica, siendo mayor el efecto T6 debido a la fina precipitación de partículas η' en la matriz, aunque la ductilidad y tenacidad de la aleación AA7075-T6 disminuyó con respecto a sus valores equivalentes en la muestra sin tratar. Los valores de dureza más altos informados para el tratamiento T7 concuerdan con los publicados por otros investigadores. Las propiedades durante los ciclos de tratamiento RRA (Retrogresión y Re–Envejecimiento) fueron intermedias a las obtenidas con los tratamientos T6 y T7. La fractografía de la superficie de fractura reveló diferencias basadas en la condición microestructural. Para todos los tratamientos térmicos, la falla reportada fue de carácter transgranular, típica de materiales dúctiles. Se evidenció una distribución amplia e irregular de microhoyuelos y precipitados dependiendo del tratamiento térmico aplicado, estando los precipitados distribuidos sobre toda la superficie de fractura. El mecanismo responsable de esta falla es la formación, crecimiento y coalescencia de microhoyuelos, aunque este mecanismo parece ser más complejo en las muestras no tratadas debido a la abundante presencia de defectos. Nuestros resultados parecen indicar que cuanto mayor es el número de microhoyuelos, menor es la ductilidad de la muestra y mayor su resistencia mecánica

This research presents a fractographic study of the AA7075 alloy subjected to T6, T7 and RRA heat treatments and how these thermal procedures affect its mechanical properties. The samples were evaluated by tensile tests; their fractography, through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All treatments generated an increase in mechanical strength, the T6 effect being largest due to the fine precipitation of η' particles in the matrix, although the ductility and toughness of the AA7075-T6 alloy decreased with respect to their equivalent values in the untreated sample. The highest toughness values reported for the T7 treatment concur with those published by other researchers. Properties during the Retrogression and Re-Aging treatment (RRA) cycles were intermediate to that obtained with the T6 and T7 treatments. The fracture surface fractography revealed differences predicated on the microstructural condition. For all the thermal treatments, the reported failure was of a transgranular character, typical of ductile materials. A wide and irregular distribution of micro dimples and precipitates was evinced depending on the heat treatment applied, the precipitates being distributed over the entire fracture surface. The mechanism responsible for this failure is the formation, growth, and coalescence of micro dimples, although this mechanism seemed to be more complex in the untreated samples due to the abundant presence of defects. Our results seem to indicate that the larger the number of micro dimples, the lower the ductility of the sample and the higher its mechanical strength
