The changes of morphology, size and distribution of MgZn_(2)precipitate with ageing temperature and time were revealed by optical and electron microscopy. Intergranular corrosion(IGC) and exfoliation corrosion(EXCO) tests were carried out to assess the changes in corrosion susceptibility of the tempered alloy, and some white spots on the surface of the sample aged for longer time were found to be precursors of pits. Electrochemical cyclic polarization test depicted the corrosion behavior under different tempers. Ageing influences on the mechanical behaviors of the alloy were revealed by evaluating its microhardness and tensile strength. The microscopic features of the strengthening phases determined by the ageing procedure directly affect the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the alloy.展开更多

The results showed that the optimum solution treatment process for the alloy was 470 ℃, 2 h. The tensile strength, yield strength,and elongation of the samples after the aging treatment at 120℃ for 24 h were 486 MPa, 431 MPa, and 14.8%,respectively. The alloy produced more copious recrystallization with the augment of solution temperature and the extension of holding time. While the second phase of η(MgZn_(2)), and T(AlZnMgCu) in the matrix was not fully re-dissolved under the treatment condition of lower temperature or shorter holding time. Interestingly, the Zr aggregation was observed in the samples treated at 510 ℃ for 2 h, which led to the growth of the second phase particles and the increase of their area fraction.展开更多
