Abstract Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys (7xxx series Al alloys) are extensively used for their superior
mechanical and corrosion performance. These properties are microstructure-sensitive and …

Low-volume fraction particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (PRAMCs) are
commonly prepared using powder metallurgy (PM) technology, followed by heat treatment …

The quenching-induced residual stress in ultrahigh strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys has a great
influence on their precipitation behaviour in subsequent heat treatment and the properties of …

Thermal-vibratory technique has been demonstrated to effectively and rapidly reduce
residual stress and improve mechanical properties of materials. But the underlying residual …

A novel set of unified constitutive equations has been developed and validated to describe
stress relaxation ageing (SRA) behaviour of 7xxx series aluminium alloys. The model, based …

A novel multistage interrupted artificial aging treatment was designed for reducing residual
stresses in quenched Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy thick plates. The results show that residual stress …

Peening is used across a wide range of materials to improve fatigue response. Recently, a
new approach to peening has been developed using an ultrasonic-pulsed waterjet (UPWJ) …

Abstract Large 2219 Al–Cu alloy aerospace integral components suffer from long-term
stress relaxation aging (SRA) due to complex temperature and stress loads during aging …

The effects of Ge and Ag additions on quench sensitivity and mechanical properties of an Al–
Zn–Mg–Cu alloy are investigated using tensile testing, hardness testing, differential …

Eurofer97 steel is a primary structural material for applications in fusion reactors. Laser
welding is a promising technique to join Eurofer97 plasma-facing components and …
