Abstract :
[en] Here we report a heterogeneous microstructure in Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloys by coupling control of solute gradient distribution, multiscale iron-rich phases and a novel thermomechanical processing that can produce a greatly improved formability (the average plastic strain ratio r = 0.719). A heterogeneous structure of coarse grains surrounded by fine grains is formed, and an unusual high formability is obtained by the synergy of soft/hard microdomains. The process discovered here is amenable to large-scale automotive industrial production at low cost, and might be applicable to other Al alloy systems.
