Title: ON THE MECHANISM OF FRAGILIZATION OF SOLID SOLUTIONS OF ALUMINUM-ZINC AND ALUMINUM-ZINC-MAGNESIUM (in French)

Journal Article · · Compt. rend.
OSTI ID:4317729

Solid solutions of Al --Zn and Al --Mg--Zn show, at room temperature and in the absence of all corrosion, a noticeable weakening of their intergranular cohesion. The mechanism of this fragilization is studied. The results indicated that the fragility in the Al--Zn alloy is caused by a condensation of lacuna at the grain seams. The addition of Mg causes a precipitation of cavities at the seams. (J.S.R.)
