• Creep aging behavior of retrogression and re-aged (RRAed) 7150 aluminum alloy (AA7150) was systematically investigated using the creep aging experiments, mechanical properties tests, electrical conductivity tests and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations. Creep aging results show that the steady-state creep mechanism of RRAed alloys is mainly dislocation climb (stress exponent≈5.8), which is insensitive to the grain interior and boundary precipitates. However, the total creep deformation increases over the re-aging time. In addition, the yield strength and tensile strength of the four RRAed samples are essentially the same after creep aging at 140 °C for 16 h, but the elongation decreases slightly with the re-aging time. What's more, the retrogression and re-aging treatment are beneficial to increase the hardness and electrical conductivity of the creep-aged 7150 aluminum alloy. It can be concluded that the retrogression and re-aging treatment before creep aging forming process can improve the microstructure within grain and at grain boundary, forming efficiency and comprehensive performance of mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of 7150 aluminum alloy.
