Overview

Randomized trial shows enhanced mechanical properties in Al-Zn-Mg alloys, indicating optimal alloy composition for structural applications.

Key Points

  • This research investigates how varying the total zinc and magnesium content impacts the precipitate formation and mechanical properties of Al-Zn-Mg alloys.
  • Conducted micro-Vickers hardness measurements to assess hardness changes with varying total Zn + Mg content.
  • Performed tensile testing to determine ultimate tensile strength and ductility across different alloy compositions.
  • Analyzed microstructural features such as precipitate distribution and grain size to correlate with mechanical performance.
  • Increased total (Zn + Mg) content raised peak hardness, tensile strength, and proof stress but reduced ductility.
  • Alloys with higher precipitate number density and narrower precipitate-free zones exhibited improved strength but lower elongation.
  • The ηA/η phases were found to be significantly more strengthening than the TA/T phases in the evaluated alloys.
