Abstract
Mechanical properties of Al-12Zn-2.4Mg-1.2Cu alloy extruded sheet were investigated by tensile tests. Microstructures were investigated by optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The result shows that no matter in the L direction or in the T direction, the tensile strength and yield strength decrease with the increasing of the extrusion temperature in different states. The tensile strength and yield strength in the L direction are higher than in the T direction at different extrusion temperatures and different treatment states. When temperature is 340°C, the highest tensile strength is 780 MPa and the highest yield strength is 753 MPa in the two-stage solution and two-stage aging state. The reason for the higher mechanical properties are in the L direction in different states is mainly depend on the distribution direction of the grains.
