摘要
A combination of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) was used to examine the precise compositions of precipitates in a high-purity, ternary Al-Zn-Mg alloy. Samples for atom probe were prepared by electro-polishing the wire initially in nitric acid containing a few drops of water and then in a solution of 2% perchloric acid in 2-butoxyethanol to sharpen the tips. Three dimensional atom probe analysis was carried out at 25K with a pulse fraction of 20% in an ultra high vacuum of 1.3 × 10-10 mbar. The data was analyzed to confirm the presence of coherent Guinier-Preston (G.P.) zones in the alloy.
