The micro-morphologies of corrosion specimens were observed by SEM and the corrosion product was analyzed using EDS. Optical microscope and TEM were used, the relationship between their microstruc-tures and mechanical properties, exfoliation corrosion resisting property was investigated, and the results show that the addition of minor Sc and Zr can enhance the strength greatly and also improve the combination of strength and plasticity. Moreover, the addition of minor Sc, Zr does not cause appreciable decrease of exfoliation corrosion resisting property, the Al-Mg-Mn-Sc-Zr alloy annealed at 350 ℃ for 1 h has excellent combination of mechanical properties and exfoliation corrosion resisting property, the satisfied combination of mechanical properties nad exfoliation corrosion resisting property can be obtained by means of adding minor Sc and Zr, decreasing the content of Mn, and adopting reasonable annealing practice.展开更多
