This concept has been successfully demonstrated for non-hardenable and rapidly solidified Al alloys. In precipitation-hardened Al alloys, effective dispersoid addition requires both controlling their high-temperature stability and minimizing their impact on precipitation hardening. The current study focuses on dispersoid-modified AlZn5.0Mg1.2 alloys, which exhibit MgZn precipitation upon age-hardening and include less than 1 wt% of Zr and Hf for dispersoid formation. Heat treatments between 350 °C and 500 °C for varying times were applied to evaluate dispersoid formation, thermal stability and the related strengthening potential. The microstructure was assessed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT), and the mechanical response was evaluated by hardness testing. TEM after heating at 500 °C reveals Ostwald ripening for the dispersoids. APT results on the dispersoids reveal a core–shell structure development upon longer annealing times. The Zr–Hf-modified alloy exhibits a higher initial strength than the Zr-modified alloy but the latter displays greater strength retention even after prolonged exposure to 500 °C. This effect is attributed to a destabilization of the mixed Zr–Hf dispersoids that arises from lower enthalpic benefits of Al<sub>3</sub>Hf formation over Al<sub>3</sub>Zr.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":383,"journal":{"name":"Materials & Design","volume":"247 ","pages":"Article 113366"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142553103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The homogenization method and strength estimation technique were applied to connect material properties from the microscopic to the mesoscopic scale. Progressive damage analysis of the representative volume cell (RVC) yielded tensile strength results within 2% of the average tensile test measurements, validating finite element models for strength prediction.

Additionally, it was observed that 8.9% pore content results in a 27.2% reduction in tensile strength compared to non-porous material. Based on these findings, empirical formulas for predicting tensile strength reduction due to pores are proposed.
