Abstract

Extruded eutectoid Zn-Al alloy was welded by a melt of the same eutectoid alloy. Two different microstructures were observed in the joint part and the bulk of the welded alloy. Typical dendritic structure of as cast Zn-Al alloy was observed in the joint part of the welded alloy. The bulk ofthe welded Zn-Al alloy appeared as fine grain structure. Two different metastable phases η'T decomposed from η's of chilled as cast state and η'E of extruded state were found to be unstable during early stage of ageing. A four phase transformation occurred after the decompositions of these two metastable phases of η'T. Microstructures of both joint part and bulk of the welded alloy were investigated parallely during ageing processes.
