The Jominy end-quench test for investigation of corrosion properties and microstructure of high strength aluminium alloys

The Jominy end-quench test was applied to extruded rods of the aluminium alloys 2024 and 7075 to obtain a decreasing quench rate over the length of the rods. Subsequently the alloys were heat treated to the conditions: 2024-T4, 2024-T6, 7075-T73. A corrosion investigation and a transmission electron microscopy investigation were performed to...
