Several age hardening aluminium alloys, like high alloyed 2XXX, 6XXX and 7XXX alloys require high critical quenching rates of some 100 K/s from solution annealing to suppress premature precipitation and achieve maximum strength after aging. Knowledge of the precipitation behaviour during quenching is crucial for the design of quenching processes of...

... cooling starts at a temperature where the sample is in equilibrium and heating ends at the same temperature and equilibrium is reached again, • overcritical cooling must be for sure overcritical, • during the isotherm after cooling at the lowest temperature no precipitation occurs. Fig. 5 demonstrates results from differential reheating of alloy EN AW 7049A, showing the difference between first and second heating. The sample was solution annealed at 470° for 30 min, then cooled with the indicated rates to ambient temperature and reheated with 1000 K/s for both heating steps to solution annealing temperature again. The ...
