L. Terziev et al., CORRELATION BETWEEN THE MICROSTRUCTURES O BSERVED DURING ISOTHERMAL AGING AND MECHANICAL-BEHAVIOR IN ZN-AL AND ZN-AL-CU ALLOYS, Revue de métallurgie, 91(5), 1994, pp. 789-798
Correlation between mechanical behaviour (creep, impact toughness) and
the microstructures which appear during isothermal heat treatment on
Zn-Al and Zn-Al-Cu alloys. Showing the practical interest of the struc
tural modifications obtained. Better results for samples aged for abou
t a week. The most favourable treatment temperature is 250-degrees-C.
Alloys containing copper have a better behaviour than binary Zn-Al all
oys.
