Experimental research on the electromagnetic hot forming of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy found that with the increase in temperature, the material's deformation behavior changes, with the forming height being optimal at 400 degrees Celsius, showing improved forming performance.
High-strength 7075 aluminum alloy is widely used in the aerospace industry. The forming performance of 7075 aluminum alloy is poor at room temperature. Therefore, hot forming is mainly adopted. Electromagnetic forming is a high-speed forming technology that can significantly improve the forming limit of difficult-to-deform materials. However, there are few studies on electromagnetic hot forming of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. In this study, the deformation behavior of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy in the temperature range of 25 degrees C to 400 degrees C was investigated. As the temperature increased, the sheet forming height first decreased, then increased. When the forming temperature is between 200 degrees C and 300 degrees C, eta phase coarsening leads to a decrease in stress and hardness of the material. When the forming temperature is between 300 degrees C and 400 degrees C, continuous dynamic recrystallization of 7075 aluminum alloy occurs, resulting in grain refinement and an increase in stress and hardness. The results of numerical simulations and experiments all show that the forming height and deformation uniformity of the sheet metal are optimal at 400 degrees C, compared to 200 degrees C.
