Description/Abstract | The 01970 alloy is a high strength weldable alloy of the Al-Zn-Mg system. A fundamental disadvantage of alloys within this system is their tendency to stress corrosion. Raising the resistance of Al-Zn-Mg alloys to stress corrosion may be achieved by supplementary alloying with copper. Adding copper at no more than tenths of 1% sharply increases the resistance of the alloys to stress corrosion. However, adding copper increases the tendency of Al-Zh-Mg alloys to cracking during welding, and at 0.3% Cu, the alloys are virtually unweldable. In this respect, the copper concentration in domestic and foreign industrial Al-Zn-Mg alloys is limited to 0.2%. 5 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab. |
