Effect of heat treatments on the stress corrosion behavior of 7050 Al alloys in 3.5% NaCl solution has been investigated using slow strain rate tensile (SSRT) test. During the slow strain rate tensile process, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in real time was carried out to characterize the electrochemical behavior for different tempers 7050 Al alloys. The investigation shows that both the stress corrosion resistance of 7050 Al alloys is controlled by heat treatments due to the different precipitates state. The improvement of stress corrosion resistance is contributed to the tiny precipitates in matrix which are beneficial to corrosion potential and maintain passivation, and precipitates discontinuous distribution at grain boundary which obstruct intergranular crack connection. Moreover, base on the results, we find out retrogression and re-aging (RRA, i.e., T6 + 200 °C/ retrogression + water quench + T6) increases both tensile strength and stress corrosion resistance. The optimized of retrogression time is 30 minutes. |
