Abstract:

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Zn-Mg alloys with low Zn/Mg ratios have been studied.According to various researchers, the major strengthening is due to η-phase and T phase. There are many briefly research on the microstructure and interface of the η-phase types but not briefly information about the T-phase That’s why now our aim to work on T-phase. In actual our aim is to observe the T-phase interface. The MgZn2 phase (η phase) and its metastable phase (η′ phase) were the most prominent precipitates. Another study revealed various Mg32(Al, Zn)49 phases (T phase) and their metastable phase (T′ phase) in Al-Zn-Mg alloys with low Zn and high Mg content. Al-Zn-Mg alloys with a Zn/Mg ratio of 0.71 were explored for this study. The alloy with a Zn/Mg ratio of 0.71 aged at 473k for 2000 minutes exhibited the highest hardness, according to the observations. The strengthening precipitates in the investigated alloy were totally T′ phase, according to TEM observation.
