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

In this research, the effects of solid solution, peak aging (PA), over aging (OA) and
retrogression re-aging (RRA) on microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion …

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 …

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 …

In the past decade, aluminum alloys have become important structural materials in the
automotive industry, thanks to their low density, high strength, high fracture toughness, and …

Currently, the hot forming of aluminum alloys has garnered significant attention for
overcoming poor formability at room temperature (RT). However, the current hot forming …

Abstract Effect of trace amount of Sc and Zr on microstructure and mechanical properties of
novel Al–Zn–Mg–Cu–Sc–Zr alloys are investigated. The samples were subjected to different …

Age hardening at 160° C was performed in an Al–6.0 wt.% Zn–2.3 wt.% Mg− 1.8 wt.% Cu−
0.1 wt.% Zr alloy. It was found that metastable η′ phases played a very important role in …

Hot-forming Quenching (HFQ) can lead to significant changes in microstructure of high-
