Studies of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviour by slow strain rate test (SSRT), potentiodynamic electrochemical polarization and measurement of electrical resistivity were carried out on 8090 and 1441 Al-Li-Cu-Mg-Zr alloys in their peak aged T8, over aged T7 and retrogressed and reaged (RRA) T77 tempers. It has been found that the SCC resistance is maximum in the T7 temper, least in the T8 temper and in the RRAT77 tempers it lies in between to that of the T8 and T7 tempers, indicating that RRA heat treatment given to the T8 temper of both alloys caused an improvement of SCC resistance. Further, studies on the electrical conductivity measurements and electrochemical polarization of all tempers of both alloys showed that T7 temper has maximum electrical conductivity and most negative (anodic) open circuit potential (OCP), T8 has the minimum and the least respectively, whereas, in the T77 tempers these values lie in between to those of the T8 and T7 tempers. Therefore, a definite pattern of variation of these results with RRA treatment draws an attention to correlate SCC behaviour, electrical conductivity and OCP values which are explained on the basis of microstructural features revealed by TEM and XRD studies.
