Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is degradation of mechanical properties under the
combined action of stress and corrosive environment of the susceptible material. Out of eight …

The 5xxx series (Al-Mg-based) aluminum alloys suffer from intergranular corrosion and
intergranular stress corrosion cracking when the alloy has become “sensitized.” …

For decades, high susceptibility to intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking is
the Achilles's heel for the 5xxx series Al alloys with high Mg (> 3 wt%) owing to precipitation …

This study investigated the hydrogen embrittlement of a high strength Zr or Cr-added
aluminum alloy specimens containing coherent Al 3 Zr or incoherent Al 18 Mg 2 Cr 3 …

The mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, and microstructures of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy
during non-isothermal ageing (NIA) process were investigated. The results suggest that …

A stress-aging treatment (SAT) was applied to an Al− Zn− Mg− Cu alloy to obtain a good
combination of strength and corrosion resistance. The effect of SAT on stress corrosion …

The effects of trace Er on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of newly
designed Al–Zn–Mg–Cu–Zr alloys for drilling pipes were investigated. After homogenization …

The microstructure, hardness and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy 7085 after different
retrogression and re-aging (RRA) treatments were investigated. The results showed that the …

The size, distribution and chemical composition of grain boundary η-phase precipitates
(GBPs) and micro-segregation present in thick plate (140 mm) 7xxx Al alloys has been …

The mechanical and corrosion properties under various ageing treatment conditions were
investigated in an Al–6.0 Zn–2.3 Mg–1.8 Cu–0.1 Zr (wt.%) alloy. The results showed that the …
