Hot torsion tests were performed on an Al-Zn-Mg alloy modified with CaO-added Mg to investigate the effects of the Mg additive on the high temperature deformation characteristics. Effective stress- strain curves and processing maps were established from the experimental results under a range of deformation conditions. The fracture strain of the CaO-added Al-Zn-Mg alloy was higher than that of the Al-Zn-Mg alloy. The CaO-added Al-Zn-Mg alloy did not show an instability region in the processing map but the commercial Al-Zn-Mg alloy exhibited adiabatic shear bands at low temperatures and at a high strain rate. The results shown in this study were attributed to the reduction of the second phase by the addition of CaO-added Mg.

The 7000 series aluminum alloy represented by Al-Zn-Mg-Cu has good strength and toughness and is widely used in the aerospace field. However, its high Zn content results in poor corrosion resistance, limiting its application in other fields. In order to achieve the synergistic improvement of both strength and corrosion resistance, this study examines the response of strength, toughness and corrosion resistance of a high-strength aluminum alloy tail frame under aging conditions with external stresses of 135 MPa, 270 MPa and 450 MPa.

Due to limited slip systems activated at room temperature, the plastic deformation of Mg and its alloys without any preheating of initial billets is significantly limited. To overcome those issues, new methods of severe plastic deformation are discovered and developed. One such example is extrusion with an oscillating die, called KoBo.

The presence of AlCuFe particles, formed due to Fe impurities in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys, significantly impacts mechanical properties and formability, which is crucial for the use of these alloys in the automotive and aerospace industries. In this study, we prepared Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-based alloy sheets with large (LF), small (SF), and no (NF) AlCuFe particles to explore their effects on recrystallization and mechanical behavior. These sheets were fabricated using controlled cooling rates and subsequent thermo-mechanical processing.

The 7085 aluminum alloy with a low Cu content is an important lightweight structural material in the aerospace field due to its advantages of low density, high specific strength, and high hardenability. However, like other high-strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys, this alloy is susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Additionally, the lower Cu content may increase its tendency toward SCC, potentially impacting the safe use of this alloy.

The influence of as-cast grain size on recrystallization and the related mechanical properties of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-based alloys was investigated. Grain sizes ranging from 163 to 26 μm were achieved by adding Ti, Cr and Mn, and ZnO nano-particles, which acted as heterogeneous nucleation sites. A decrease in the as-cast grain size led to a corresponding reduction in the recrystallized grain size from 54 to 13 μm.
