Abstract

Prediction of mechanical property levels in thick section heat-treatable aluminium alloys can be made using quench factor analysis. The utilisation of this technique requires both a description of the quench path and a time-temperature C-curve for the property of interest. Few time temperature property curves for the less common alloys exist in the public domain. 7010 is a forging and plate alloy widely used for strength critical aerospace components. Hardness and electrical conductivity C-curves produced by standard interrupted quench techniques are presented for 7010-T76. In addition, specimens cut from a comparable forging have been utilised to produce a tensile 7010-T76 C-curve and the influence of cold compression on the precipitation kinetics determined.
