Research on multi-pass hot processing of 7075 Al-alloy was rarely discussed. This study aims to design and evaluate different thermomechanical processing strategies (TMPS) to produce 3 mm-thick sheets of 7075 Al-alloy. A physical simulation was performed using the hot compression test of a Gleeble 3500 to study flow mechanisms and microstructural evolution, while an experimental investigation was carried out using a rolling mill to examine the effect of TMPS on the mechanical properties. Four hot forming strategies were designed and tested at a constant strain rate of 0.1 s−1 over a temperature range of 200–450 °C. These strategies involved applying a constant amount of deformation of 65–70% in single (SP), double (DP), triple (TP), and quadruple (QP) passes of thermomechanical processing to study the influence of multi-pass thermomechanical processing on the final mechanical properties and industrial feasibility. The microstructure analysis showed a significant refinement and more uniform distribution of precipitates with an increasing number of passes, as observed through optical micrographs and the full width at half maximum (FWHM)-position relationship of XRD data. The results indicate that QP is the optimum strategy for producing the best mechanical properties in the shortest production time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
