Abstract
The Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy was investigated by slow strain rate tests in se a water. The influence of tempers on the strain rate dependence of fra cture energy was observed. The effects of the strain rate, addition of As2O3, pre-exposure and room temperature storage were explained by a change in the grain boundary microstructure following more advanced ag eing that affected the susceptibility to pitting corrosion, hydrogen a bsorption and morphology of cracking.
