摘要
The precipitation process in Al-Zn-Mg-based alloys has been revisited using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. It was found that there is an intermediate phase between the eta' phase and the eta phase. This intermediate phase with a hexagonal structure can be termed the eta precursor, since its a lattice parameter is the same as that of the eta' phase and its c lattice parameter is approximately the same as that of the eta phase. Transformation from the eta' phase to the eta phase occurs smoothly with this eta precursor existing between them. (C) 2010 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
