- Abstract
- The nano-precipitates with minimal misfit strengthen Al-Zn-Mg alloys by impeding dislocation motion. However, grain boundary precipitates (GBPs) are known to have a completely incoherent relationship with the matrix, making them less effective in strengthening the alloys. Instead, GBPs are recognized for preoccupying elements such as Zn or Mg, thereby diminishing the quantity of nano-strengthening phases. GBPs significantly influence the deformation and fracture behaviors of Al-Zn-Mg alloys by accelerating stress localization and crack formation. In this study, we investigated how the accumulation of dislocations in the GBP areas leads to stress localization and subsequent cracking, using micropillar tests and crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) analysis. The dislocation pile-up in the GBPs causes stress localization around the grain boundaries, inducing crack initiation and leading to intergranular fracture. These findings enhance our understanding of the role of GBPs in the deformation and cracking of Al-Zn-Mg alloys and may pave the way for new concepts in managing GBPs.
