The present study focused on the influence of different aging conditions on the strain-dependent damping of the high-strength aluminum alloy AA7075. For this purpose, different artificial aging strategies were carried out after solution heat treatment with subsequent water quenching to identify correlations between microstructural evolution, hardness development, and individual material damping. The resulting material damping was measured using an experimental setup based on the principle of electromagnetic feedback. Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) investigations were carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to characterize the material’s microstructure. Depending on the aging conditions, the damping investigations revealed specific characteristic behaviors in the strain-dependent range from 1 × 10 -⁷ to 0.002. Peak aging conditions showed lower damping than the overaged conditions but resulted in the highest hardness. The hardness decreased with increasing aging time or temperature.
