There is an increasingly urgent need of lightweight components in aerospace industry,
among which aluminum (Al) alloys have been the optimal materials of choice for aircraft …

Abstract Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys (7xxx series Al alloys) are extensively used for their superior
mechanical and corrosion performance. These properties are microstructure-sensitive and …

We investigated the precipitation behavior and mechanical properties of naturally aged Al–
7.6 Zn–2.7 Mg–2.0 Cu–0.1 Zr–0.07 Ti (wt.%) alloy using various experimental methods …

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 …

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 …

In ultra-high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys, traditional heat treatments such as peak aging,
two-stage aging and retrogression and re-aging cannot perfectly balance the relationship …

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 influence of heat treatment on stress corrosion cracking resistance of a low-Cu
containing Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy has been investigated. The results show that the …

Interface precipitation and corrosion behaviors in the cast and extruded TiC p/7050
composites are comprehensively investigated herein. Aging precipitates are inclined to …

A variable-rate non-isothermal aging (NIA) process that has two-stage heating and cooling
procedures was proposed for a ternary Al-Zn-Mg aluminum alloy aiming to obtain the …
