Notes:
In this paper, Al-5.6Zn-2.8Mg-1.6Cu-0.24Cr-1.1Li, Al-8.0Zn-2.4Mg-2.4Cu-1.1Li-0.18Zrand Al-11.8Zn-2.9Mg-2.8Cu-1.1Li-0.24Zr (in wt%) alloys were artificially aged at 80,100,120,140and 160°C for different time, respectively. The ageing process, microstructure and hardness ofdifferent alloys are investigated by Vickers hardness and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).With the increment of zinc content, addition of Li to Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy containing high alloyingelements has little effect on the nucleation of precipitates, but the growth of precipitates has beeninhibited. Very fine precipitates with high density are formed during ageing due to the existence ofhigh alloying elements, which result in highly strengthening alloy. As the alloying content is toohigh to exceed the solution saturation of matrix, coarse second phases are formed in grain boundary
