Effect of Heat Treatment Parameters Applied to AA7075 Alloy on Corrosion Behavior
AbstractThe AA7075 alloy has a wide range of applications due to its high strength and light weight. The T6 heat treatment applied to the AA7075 alloy increases the strength of the alloy but its corrosion properties remain poor. T73 heat treatment to increase the corrosion sensitivity reduces the strength of the alloy. A special heat treatment applied to the AA7075 alloy improves the corrosion and mechanical properties of the alloy at the same time.In this study, the effects of special heat treatment parameters applied to AA7075 alloy on alloy strength and corrosion were investigated.
