7xxx aluminum alloys display excellent properties in precipitation hardening. After adding scandium, one of the transition metal elements, to 7xxx alloys, it could modify strength, weldability, malleability, creep resistance and other mechanical properties. This study was divided into two parts. First part of this study investigated the precipitation hardening effect on as extrused 7xxx aluminum alloys containing dilute scandium additions during solution and aging treatment. Second part of the study discussed the transform of casting structure of scandium-modified 7xxx aluminum alloys during solidification process, and got the correlation of the cast parameters. We can predict the casting structure under variant casting boundary conditions and further improve the casting boundary conditions to get the ingots of the specific casting structures.
