The paper presents results of the investigations on the effect of low-temperature thermomechanical treatment (LTTT) on the microstructure of AlZn6Mg0.8Zr alloy (7000 series) and its mechanical properties as well as electrochemical and stress corrosion resistance. For comparison of the LTTT effect, the alloy was subjected to conventional precipitation hardening. Comparative studies were conducted in the fields of metallographic examinations and static tensile tests. It was found that mechanical properties after the LTTT were better in comparison to after conventional heat treatment (CHT). The tested alloy after low-temperature thermomechanical treatment with increasing plastic deformation shows decreased electrochemical corrosion resistance during potentiodynamic tests. The alloy after low-temperature thermomechanical treatment with deformation degree in the range of 10 to 30% is characterized by a high resistance to stress corrosion specified by the level of P indices.
本文介绍了低温热机械处理（LTTT）对AlZn6Mg0.8Zr合金（7000系列）微观结构及其力学性能、电化学性能和抗应力腐蚀性能影响的研究结果。为了比较低温热机械处理的效果，对该合金进行了传统的沉淀硬化处理。在金相检验和静态拉伸试验领域进行了对比研究。结果发现，与传统热处理（CHT）后相比，低温热机械处理后的力学性能更好。在动电位测试中，随着塑性变形增加，经过低温热机械处理的测试合金的抗电化学腐蚀性能下降。变形程度在10%至30%范围内的低温热机械处理后的合金，其特征是具有由P指数水平指定的高抗应力腐蚀性能。
