Microstructure Characterisation and Modelling of Pre-Forging Solution Treatment of 7075 Aluminium Alloy Using Novel Heating Methods by Hao Wu, Zisong Lu, Steven Hill, Richard Turner

“…This study evaluates the effectiveness of these conventional heating methods, commonly adopted in the industry with long durations (typically one hour), in comparison to newer, potentially more efficient approaches such as induction coil heating, infrared module heating, and infrared furnaces that can perform solution heat treatment in significantly shorter times (5 to 20 min). The properties of the edge and centre regions of the solution-treated billets, including the state of precipitates, grain structures, and Vickers hardness, are investigated and compared. …”
