Abstract
The heat treatable 7xxx series Al alloys (Al-Zn-Mg) show good combination of tensile properties through precipitation hardening. Similar to Al-Cu alloy minor addition of Sn in this alloy also influences its structure and properties. The hardness improves after natural ageing and further improves after duplex ageing. Duplex ageing refines the grains also. SEM-EDX results indicate that β-Sn is present in the form of precipitates. DSC results indicate that Sn suppresses the formation of GP zone and the stability of intermediate η phase is higher.
