In the present work, the artificial aging kinetics of SiCp particles reinforced AA7075-SiCp composite fabricated by stir casting method was investigated. The aging behavior of AA7075-SiCp composite was investigated by Rockwell hardness tests and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results show there are no changes in the sequences of formation and dissolution of precipitate. Reinforced particles are uniformly distributed throughout the matrix. The hardness profile shows increase in hardness with the comparison of AA7075 base alloy. In addition to SiCp in the matrix, precipitation kinetics has changed compared with base alloy since higher dislocations present in composite, hence requires lower activation energy to form ή precipitate and takes less time to reach the maximum hardness. In contrast, the addition of SiCp at low volume percent also showing accelerated aging phenomena in the composite during the aging process. High-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) micrograph of peak age (T6) condition divulges that enormous fine and plate-like ή (MgZn2) precipitates are uniformly distributed in the composite.
