Abstract | AbstractAtom probe tomography (APT) coupling high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) was used to analyze the fraction and compositions of different nanoparticles in two-stage double peaks aging process of Al?Zn?Mg alloy. Al content is found to be closely related to the size of nanoparticles and it can be greater than ~?50.0?at. % in the nanoparticle with the equivalent radius under ~?3.0?nm. Correspondingly, Al content of the nanoparticle, with the equivalent radius over ~?5.0?nm, is measured under ~?40.0?at. %. Evolution from Guinier–Preston (G.P.) zone to η phase is a growing process where Mg and Zn atoms enter the nanoparticle, therefore rejecting Al atoms. G.P. zones can take up a number fraction of ~?85.0 and ~?22.7% of nanoparticles in the first and second peak-aged samples, respectively, and even in the over-aged (T73) sample, they can still be found. As aging time increases, fraction of η′ phases monotonically rises to the peak value (~?54.5%) in the second peak-aged state and then drops, which is significant for the second hardness peak and directly proves their function as the transitional medium. In T73 state, ~?63.3% nanoparticles compose of η phases, which were measured to still contain ~?10.2 to ~?36.4?at. % Al atoms. |
