Al-Zn-Mg alloys.

Microstructure of Al-Zn and Zn-Al Alloys*

The change of microstructure of the title alloys with concentration, temperature and applied thermal treatment was studied in situ by XRD. The alloys, having the Zn atomic fraction, x(Zn), from 0.03 to 0.62, were subjected to: (i) rapid quenching from a temperature, Tt, higher than the solid-solution temperature, Tss, in water at RT (samples WQ); (ii) slow cooling from Tt to RT (samples SC). Th...

CORROSION FATIGUE CRACK PROPAGATION AND INHIBITION IN Al-Zn-Mg-Cu VS Al-Cu-Mg/Li ALLOYS

Age-hardenable aluminum alloys used in aerospace structures are susceptible to environment assisted fatigue crack propagation (EFCP), limiting component durability and safety. The objective is to quantitatively understand EFCP and its inhibition for important aerospace alloys: 7075-T651 (Al-Zn-Cu-Mg), C433-T3 (Al-Cu-Mg), and C47A-T86 (AlCu-Li). EFCP is understood through the hydrogen embrittlem...

CREEP AGE FORMING OF Al-Zn-Mg ALLOYS WITH OPTIMIZATION OF MECHANICALl PROPERTIES

Creep age forming (CAF) is one of the novel methods in aerospace industry that has been used to manufacture components of panels with improved mechanical properties and reduced fabrication cost. CAF is a combined age-hardening and stress-relaxation that are responsible for strengthening and forming, respectively. This paper deals with the experimental investigations of mechanical and springback...

Precipitation Hardening of Al–Si–Mg Alloys

In Vitro Degradation Behavior of Ternary Mg-Zn-Se and Mg-Zn-Cu Alloys as Biomaterials.

In this study, the corrosion behavior of Mg-Zn-Se and Mg-Zn-Cu alloys was investigated to evaluate their corrosion behavior related to use as implantable biomaterials. The corrosion behavior of these alloys and a commercially available Mg-Zn alloy were examined using static solution electrochemical testing, dynamic solution gravimetric testing, ion leaching testing, and microscopic evaluation. ...
