摘要
A study of the microstructural evolution of a commercial 7012 (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu) age-hardenable alloy following artificial ageing by high resolution and conventional transmission electron microscopy and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy is presented. At the early stages of decomposition. the microstructure included precipitation of either pre-precipitate solute clusters or Guinier-Preston zones and semicoherent eta' precipitates, with typical sizes between 1 and 10 nm. Quantitative information on the size, number density and morphology of the particles present in the microstructure was obtained. The results were correlated with those obtained using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy. (C) 1999 Acta Metallurgica. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
