The 7075 aluminum alloy semi-solid billet is prepared using the extrusion alloy semi-solid isothermal treatment (EASSIT) process. These findings indicate that as the isothermal time increases, there is a noticeable increase in both the average grain size (AGS) and shape factor (SF). The relationship between the AGS, SF, and isothermal temperature is complex due to the influence of grain refinement mechanisms. The HV0.2 of isothermal samples decreased with the increase in isothermal temperature, which may be related to the increase in liquid-phase composition and AGS; Cu and Si show obvious segregation at grain boundaries and within intracrystalline droplets. The segregation of Cu and Si in the initially melted solid grains leads to the creation of intracrystalline droplets. The diffraction peaks of Al7Cu2Fe, Al6(Cu, Fe), Al2CuMg, and MgZn2 gradually decrease as the isothermal temperature increases. Due to the influence of the grain refinement mechanism and melting mechanism, the coarsening behavior of grains at high isothermal temperatures is more complicated, and the coarsening rate constant shows an increment followed by a subsequent decrease as the isothermal temperature rises. The coarsening kinetics of 7075 aluminum alloy in a semi-solid state can be described using the LSW equation of n = 3.
