Experimental Studies and Research During Heat Treatment on the Behaviour/Aging of Al-Zn Alloy System with Different Zn Content
Abstract
The paper presents the results of a research on the behavior at artificial aging heat treatment carried out on three different chemical compositions of the alloys belonging to Al-Zn system. We studied the behavior of the three alloys after applying more thermal regimes during artificial aging. Following the experiments conducted, we can notice an increase in strength properties with increasing zinc content of the alloys investigated.
