Abstract

The precipitation kinetics of 7108.70 aluminum alloy has been investigated in a wide range of temperatures by in situ Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and computer modeled by use of an internal-state variable model which predicts the evolution of microstructural parameters. The modeling and experiments were done for isothermal heat treatment at 120, 140, 150, 160 and 170°C. The industrial T6 and T7 treatments have also been investigated.
