 | Tensile loading tests were carried out on pre-cracked Al-8%Mg alloy specimens hydrogen charged or stress corrosion tested. Fractography and measurements of crack propagation and stretched zone widths show formation of pre-existing embrittled zone ahead of stress corrosion cracks. This zone disappears when the specimen stress corrosion tested is aged at room temperature. The pre-existing embrittled zone is a sequence of hydrogen embrittlement from the facts that formation and disappearance of ... |

T. Ohnishi; K. Higashi; Y. Nakatani
|
 | In the conventional aging of Al-8%Mg alloy, the hydrogen embrittlement and the decrease of stress corrosion cracking life by hydrogen permeation are markedly produced in the hardening region of aging process. The step aging hardly alters these behaviors, because this treatment brings about an insignificant change in the microstructure. The thermomechanical treatment effectively depresses the embrittlement and the decrease of life by hydrogen permeation over the whole range of testing ... |

 | When hydrogen is charged to the Al-8%Mg alloy, a large amount of hydrogen is penetrated not only in the age-hardened state, but a small amount is penetrated in the under and over-aged states. The maximum penetration state nearly agrees with the maximum hardened state. This is attributed to the correspondence of hydrogen penetration to distribution of precipitates owing to preferred penetration into grain boundaries and interfaces of precipitates. The alloy ... |

 | This work has been performed to clarify the origin of an effect of manganese and chromium additions on SCC susceptibility of Al-Mg alloys. Both elements added in the alloys have a remarkable effect for improving SCC in maximum aging state, but have a little effect in over-aging and especially under-aging states. This fact is attributed to lowering the development of susceptibility resulted from depression of grain boundary precipitation. |
