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

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 ele...
