摘要

7xxx welding wire was self-made by spray forming ingots drawn to series welding wires products, and then TIG butt welding test is used for 5 mm thick 7075 high-strength aluminium alloy. After welding, the stress relief+solid-solution aging heat treatment (T6) were performed to joints, and the mechanical properties and microstructure of the joints before and after heat treatment were comparative analyzed. The results show that the properties of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the joint before heat treatment decreas, and the joint is softened. The welded joints tensile strength is 271.8MPa, the elongation is 5.6％, and the average hardness of the weld is 118. 4HV. The second phase particles such as η(MgZn2), S(Al2CuMg), Al13Fe4 are distributed in a network layer, with no apparent element segregation. After heat treatment, the structure of each area of the joint is coarsened, and a small amount of Fe-containing impurity phases are distributed. Theηand S phases are dissolved in the matrix. The hardness of each area of the joint is increased to 155 HV, and the softening zone is disap-peared, this leads the joint elongation close to 16.9％. The tensile strength is increased to 511.8 MPa, reaching 94％of the base metal tensile strength.
