Abstract The effects of Zn/Mg ratios on microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Zn-Mg-
Cu alloys aged at 150° C have been investigated by using tensile tests, optical …

Al-Zn-Mg alloys are widely used in the transportation industry owing to their high strength-to-
weight ratio. In these alloys, the main strengthening mechanism is precipitation hardening …

Zn content is one of the most concerned factors in the development of next generation ultra-
strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys owing to its essential role in precipitation strengthening. In the …

The structures and energetics of η′ nano-phase and its interfaces in a peak-aged Al single
bondZnsingle bondMgsingle bond Cu alloy were thoroughly investigated, using the …

Evolution of precipitate and precipitate/matrix interface in artificially aged Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (-Ag)
alloys has been systematically studied. In the early stage of ageing, Ag, as a fast diffuser …

The present study, using advanced Cs-corrected high-angle annular dark field–scanning
transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), reports on a comprehensive investigation …

Abstract Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloys were fabricated with water-cooled copper casting. The
microstructure of the alloys was characterized by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) …

Hot-forming Quenching (HFQ) can lead to significant changes in microstructure of high-
strength aluminum alloys for car body sheet. Furthermore, through effective control, desired …

To clarify the influence of a pre-ageing treatment on precipitation behaviors in the AA7075
aluminum alloys with ultrafine grain (UFG) structure, the alloys were pre-aged prior to a …

The ageing precipitates and strengthening effects of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys with different Zn
contents were investigated. The results showed that increasing Zn contents can significantly …
