[0002] The main alloying elements of 7050 aluminum alloy are Zn, Mg and Cu. This series of aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace and industrial fields after extrusion, heat treatment and machining due to their low density, good formability and high specific strength. When used in the aerospace field, the comprehensive performance of corrosion and strength is strictly required, so off-line quenching + overaging process is usually used for production. When used in general industrial fields, there is no special requirement for corrosion performance, but the strength is strictly required, so the over-peak aging state T74 or T4511 state is usually used.
[0003] 7050 aluminum alloy has high deformation resistance during extrusion, which causes difficulties in extrusion and low production efficiency. To improve the above problems, the traditional technical route is to use a heat treatment furnace for solid solution heat treatment and artificial aging treatment after extrusion to obtain a product with corresponding performance. For products used in general industrial fields, there is no special requirement for corrosion performance, so the traditional technology produces excess products. In addition, the off-line quenching process and two-stage overaging in the traditional technical route result in high production cost and long production cycle.
