Effect of extrusion process on the stress corrosion cracking resistance of 7N01 aluminum alloy by Xie H., Yang Z., Ma Q. H., Meng W., Hu L., Yin X. H.

“…In this work, the effect of extrusion process on the mechanical properties and the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance of 7N01 aluminum alloys were systematically investigated by tensile testing, slow strain rate testing (SSRT), electrochemical experiment, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation, respectively. The results showed that with the increase of extrusion temperature, the SCC resistances of the alloys deteriorated, and this tendency was also proved by the electrochemical experiments including polarization curves and EIS results. …”
