Influence of equal-channel angular pressing on pPrecipitation kinetics in an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy
Influence of equal-channel angular pressing on pPrecipitation kinetics in an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy
Processing by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) affects the morphology of ? precipitates in an Al–Zn–Mg–Cu (Al-7136) alloy. It is shown by transmission electron microscopy that ECAP changes the orientation of precipitates and this influences the atomic configuration and the interfacial energy at the ?/?-Al interfaces. Consequently, ? precipitates adopt an isotropic growth mode and evolve into equiaxed particles. A three-dimensional atom probe analysis demonstrates that large ? precipitates formed in different numbers of ECAP passes are of similar composition. The coalescence of smaller precipitates, rather than the fragmentation of larger precipitates, dominates the precipitate evolution.

Abstract
Processing by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) affects the morphology of ? precipitates in an Al–Zn–Mg–Cu (Al-7136) alloy. It is shown by transmission electron microscopy that ECAP changes the orientation of precipitates and this influences the atomic configuration and the interfacial energy at the ?/?-Al interfaces. Consequently, ? precipitates adopt an isotropic growth mode and evolve into equiaxed particles. A three-dimensional atom probe analysis demonstrates that large ? precipitates formed in different numbers of ECAP passes are of similar composition. The coalescence of smaller precipitates, rather than the fragmentation of larger precipitates, dominates the precipitate evolution.
