Abstract

7072Al is widely used as cladding layer for heat-transfer components. In this paper, the microstructure, mechanical properties and electrochemical properties of simulated-brazing 7072Al alloy with Zn addition were investigated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations revealed that, in the simulated-brazing state, Zn-addition could promote the precipitation in the 7072Al alloy. Tensile testing results indicated that, in comparison with 7072Al alloy, the mechanical properties were improved after Zn-addition. Electrochemical testing results revealed that the simulated-brazing alloy showed a negative shift of the corrosion potential with the addition of Zn element.
