Abstract
ABSTRACT In this study, the effects of pre-deformation on mechanical properties and stress corrosion cracking behaviour of 7075 alloy was investigated with SSRT and electrochemical polarization. The 10% pre-deformation substantially improves the SCC resistance of the 7075 alloys. The strain induced dislocations act as diffusion shortcuts and result in enhanced precipitation and early appearance of GBPs in the naturally aged 7075-T3. For artificial aging, pre-deformation causes rapid over-aging as larger precipitates are found in both matrix and GBs of the 7075-T8. The substitution of Cu for Zn in the GBPs and the larger GBPs acting as hydrogen traps are possible explanations for the improved SCC resistance of 7075-T8. Further improvements in SCC resistance can be found in the RRA treated 7075 alloys, while a more ductile behaviour can be seen in the pre-deformed 7075 alloy. Additionally, results of electrochemical testing are in high correlation with the SSRT results.
期刊介绍:
Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology provides broad international coverage of research and practice in corrosion processes and corrosion control. Peer-reviewed contributions address all aspects of corrosion engineering and corrosion science; there is strong emphasis on effective design and materials selection to combat corrosion and the journal carries failure case studies to further knowledge in these areas.
