摘要

The novel hot forming process composed of hot form and quench (HFQ) and electric pulse treatment (EPT) was proposed to enhance the mechanical properties for Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy. The results show that, the increased current density enhances collisions with atoms, raising their energy and promoting atomic diffusion, thus inducing the increment of the quantity and size for η´ and η phase. The high strength for HFQ + EPT/75 sample was obtained with the value of 622 MPa (UTS) and 545 MPa (YS), and exhibiting the excellent performance (i.e. The product of strength and plasticity: 8210.4 MPa%). Additionally, EPT enables to decrease the nucleation of energy barrier of recrystallization. As the current density increased, high fraction of fine recrystallized grains were observed for the HFQ + EPT/100 sample due to the massive joule heating generated from EPT. The recrystallization mechanism transferred from geometric dynamic recrystallization (GDRX) to continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) + discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) to DDRX. And GDRX, CDRX and DDRX mainly rely on grain boundary migration (GBM) + sub-grain rotation (SGR), SGR and GBM, respectively.
