The Effect Of Thermal-Mechanical Processing Of The Exfoliation Corrosion Resistance Of An Aluminum-Zinc-Magnesium-Copper Alloy, James Lawrence Spehr
The Effect Of Thermal-Mechanical Processing Of The Exfoliation Corrosion Resistance Of An Aluminum-Zinc-Magnesium-Copper Alloy, James Lawrence Spehr
Masters Theses
"The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of thermal-mechanical processing on the exfoliation corrosion resistance of an aluminum-zinc-magnesium-copper alloy. the aluminum alloy used was commercially available 7178 alloy in two thicknesses, 0.390 inch thick and 0.250 inch thick. this material was reduced 10, 25 and 40% in thickness in both the annealed and solution heat treated conditions. The material was then aged to a high strength condition, T6, or T8, in the case of the material reduced in the solution heat treated condition. The effect of the thermal-mechanical processing on the exfoliation corrosion resistance was then evaluated …
