摘要
Stress corrosion cracking(SCC) resistance of the specimens with different grain structures in Al-Zn-Mg alloy extruded profile was investigated through four-point bending test. The relationship and mechanism between grain structure and SCC resistance were studied by means of optical micrograph(OM), electron back scattered diffraction(EBSD) and transmission electron microscope(TEM).The results show that coarse grain structure, equiaxed grain structure and fiber-like structure are distributed from the surface to the center in Al-Zn-Mg alloy extruded profiles. The thickness of coarse grain structure and equiaxed grain structure are about 60 μm and 750 μm, respectively. The fraction of recrystallization and high angle grain boundary(HAGB) decrease gradually from the surface to the center. The SCC resistance of different grain structures is mainly related to grain size and grain boundary microstructures. Compared with the coarse grain and equiaxed grain structures, the fiber-like structure exhibits better stress corrosion cracking resistance because of the smaller grain size, less high angle grain boundary, more spaced grain boundary precipitates (GBPs) and narrower precipitate free zone (PFZ) caused by limiting recrystallization. © 2019, Central South University Press.
