Abstract:The hot deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (7150) alloy was studied during hot compression at various temperatures (300 to 450 °C) and strain rates (0.001 to 10 s−1). A decline ratio map of flow stresses was proposed and divided into five deformation domains, in which the flow stress behavior was correlated with different microstructures and dynamic softening mechanisms. The results reveal that the dynamic recovery is the sole softening mechanism at temperatures of 300 to 400 … Show more
“…Recently, CDRX was also reported in aluminum alloys [41]. This mechanism differs from that of DDRX, new grains are formed progressively within the deformed original low angle grains from a continuous increase of subgrains with low misorientations, as a result of the accumulation of dislocations in low angle boundaries [38][39][40][41].…”

“…The DDRX was observed in Al alloys, which involves development of high angle grain boundaries via nucleation and growth of new grains that typically initiate at original grain boundaries, boundaries of dynamically recrystallized grains and boundaries created during deformation [39]. Recently, CDRX was also reported in aluminum alloys [41]. This mechanism differs from that of DDRX, new grains are formed progressively within the deformed original low angle grains from a continuous increase of subgrains with low misorientations, as a result of the accumulation of dislocations in low angle boundaries [38][39][40][41].…”

“…Li [5] studied the deformation behaviors of Ag-containing 2519 aluminum alloy by isothermal compression and found DRX when the strain rate was 10 s -1 and the temperature was higher than 300 o C. Liu [6] reported that dynamic recrystallization of Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy occurred at low Z values and the tendency of dynamic recrystallization enhanced with decreasing Z value. Huang [7] [8,9].…”
“…The age-hardenable 7xxx series Al alloys can be divided into medium strength Al-Zn-Mg system and high strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu system [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Nowadays, 7xxx series alloys are being used in the aerospace and high-speed train system for structural components due to their high strength/weight ratio [7][8][9][10][11][12].…”
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) susceptibilities of Al-Zn-Mg alloys without and with Scandium addition were evaluated in 3.5% NaCl solution at different pH and different strain rate, using slow strain rate test technique. The results indicate that Sc addition reduces grain size and width of precipitation free zones, and transforms grain boundary precipitates from continuous distribution into interrupted distribution by inhibiting recrystallization. In solution at pH 1, pH 3 and pH 7, Sc addition reduces the degree of localized corrosion of alloy surface and SCC susceptibility of Al-Zn-Mg alloy. However, in solution at pH 10 and pH 12, grain refinement significantly promotes the diffusion of hydrogen atoms into matrix, thus Sc addition increases SCC susceptibility of Al-Zn-Mg alloy. Under different strain rate conditions, Sc addition can all reduce SCC susceptibility of Al-Zn-Mg alloy in solution at pH 1, pH 3 and pH 7, and can all increase SCC susceptibility of Al-Zn-Mg alloy in solution at pH 10 and pH 12. As a result, Sc modified Al-Zn-Mg alloy in practical applications should be avoided in alkaline environments.
