The effect of ageing treatment and coarse intermetallic particles on the compromise between the toughness and the yield strength of 7010 and 7150 aluminum alloys (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys) are investigated. Plane-strain fracture toughness tests were performed on the compact-tension specimens of L-T orientation. The fracture toughness of 7010 alloy was higher than that of 7150 alloy at the same ageing treatment. The 7150 alloy contain a greater amount of coarse Cu-bearing particles, which deteriorate the fracture behavior and decrease the ageing hardening ability of the alloy. The toughness of the both alloys increased greatly for the overaged condition as compared to that for the T6 condition. Two dominant mechanisms of failure occur: microvoid-induced transgranular fracture and intergranular fracture modes, and the former becomes more important in the overaged ageing conditions.

Aluminum and its alloys are characterized by low density, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and good resistance to corrosion in certain media such as air. The mechanical strength alloy is achieved. The objective of the present research consist on studying the type of structure (columnar, equiaxed or with columnar to equiaxed transition, CET) using parameters of the solidification process and electrochemical parameters in Al, Cu and Al-Cu alloys with different concentrations. In order to obtain columnar, equiaxed and CET structures, the alloys were directionally solidified upwards in an experimental set up with a set of thermocouples in the samples which permit to determine the time dependent profiles during the process. The electrochemical studies of the samples were realized by using an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique and potentio-dynamic polarization curves immersed in 3% NaCl solution at room temperature. In general, we observed that the susceptibility to corrosion of the different structures depends on the size of the secondary dendritic spacing and the proportion of Al2Cu phase and Al-rich phase.
