Simultaneously increased strength and plasticity of TIG-welded 7075-T6 aluminum alloy joints via a novel post-weld composite treatment process

The 7075-T6 aluminum (Al) alloy is a high-strength material with great application potential. However, the tensile strength and elongation of its arc-welded joints are severely reduced compared to the base metal (BM), with only 57.3% and 14.4% of the BM values, respectively. To improve both strength...
