Strengthening Al-Zn-Mg Alloys via Ultra-Fine Lamella Structures Containing a High Density of Dislocations and Clusters

Abstract: A new method of thermo-mechanical processing has been designed by introducing pre-aging before general cold rolling for an Al-Zn-Mg alloy. This process results in an increase of 200 MPa in yield strength compared to that of the peak-aged samples. The microstructures were examined by transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. It has been found that the enhanced strength is mainly contributed to by ultra-fine lamella structures containing a high density of dislocations pinned by nanoprecipitates. Ex… Show more

“…The grain refined within the processed zone due to geometric dynamic recrystallization. In the work of Y. Qin et al [6], innovative thermo-mechanical processing was applied to an Al-Zn-Mg alloy, resulting in an increment in the yield strength of 100 and 200 MPa with respect to the T6 condition. The compared processes consisted of cold deformation after different heat treatments.…”
