Abstract: Impact properties of the 7005 aluminum alloy after solution and aging treatment was studied by means of OM, SEM and impact test machine. The results show that coarse grain boundaries are observed in the as-cast 7005 aluminum alloy, and there are a large number of non-equilibrium precipitated phases in the grain, while after solution and aging treatment, the number of precipitated phases in the grain decreases greatly. The precipitate phases on the as-cast alloy grain boundary contain more Zn, Mg and Mn elements. After solution and aging treatment the precipitated phases existed in grain are η (MgZn2) equilibrium phase mainly, and there are still some residual precipitated phases AlZnMg(Mn) on grain boundary because of the good thermal stability, which leads to dissolution incomplete. After solution and aging treatment, the solid solubility increases because most precipitated phase particles in the grain dissolve into the matrix, which causes the strength of the alloy to increase and improves the impact properties of the 7005 aluminum alloy.
