Spray forming is a relatively new technology in material fabrication which produces near net shape preforms by rapid solidification of atomized droplets in a single step. Alloys that are usually impossible to be produced in conventional methods such as ingot metallurgy can be economically fabricated by means of spray forming. One example is the new 7034 aluminum alloy (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr) which has a higher Zn content than the traditional 7xxx alloys. In this investigation, the tensile and creep properties of the spray formed 7034 alloy were studied in the temperature range of 90 to 150 C. It was found that the new alloy not only had a superior room temperature strength, its creep resistance was also greatly improved compared with 7075-T6. The high strength of the alloy was achieved by the high Zn content, which resulted in a high percentage of precipitates. The enhancement in creep resistance was attributed to the addition of Zr which formed finely dispersed stable intermetallic compound Al3Zr. The spray forming process made it possible to produce the high Zn aluminum alloy without macroscopic segregation and cracking.
