| Abstract Scope |
To optimize the T5 treatment of Al–5.81Zn–1.65Mg alloys, this study investigated the effect of deformation temperature (300–500 °C) on solution behavior, ultrafine grain (UFG) formation via dynamic recrystallization (DRX), and strain-induced dynamic precipitation (SIDP) under 70% reduction and 1 s⁻¹ strain rate. Flow stress curves showed work hardening (WH) at 300–350 °C and dynamic recovery at 450–500 °C. First-stage WH rates (ε = 0.2–0.4) decreased from 55 to 10 MPa as temperature increased. DRX grain size and fraction increased with increasing temperature, shifting from discontinuous to continuous DRX. Texture evolved from Goss to brass type with increasing temperature. Precipitates formed by SIDP included η′ and T′ phases, with larger and denser particles at 300 °C. Sufficient solubility and favorable UFG formation were achieved at 400–500 °C, suggesting that this range is optimal for thermomechanical processing. |
