Effects of heat treatment processes on the mechanical properties, microstructure evolution, and strengthening mechanisms of Al–Mg–Zn–Cu alloy

In this study, the mechanical properties and strengthening mechanisms resulting from the evolution of microstructure in an Al-4.39Mg-2.78Zn-0.42Cu (wt%) alloy were investigated through various heat treatment processes. Compared with the conventional T6 process, both the final thermomechanical treatm...
