Response of 7075 and 7050 aluminium alloys to high temperature pre-precipitation heat treatment

Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (7xxx series) aluminium alloys are widely used for aircraft structures. It is difficult to obtain a combination of optimal strength and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance for these alloys. It appears that SCC resistance of these alloys is related to grain boundary precipitate mor...
