Abstract

Two zinc-aluminium based alloys with 30% Zn and 60% Zn and small additions of silicon have been quench-aged and the phase transformations studied in relation to the hardness. It was found that the peak hardness increase is due to the formation of αm″ and α″ phases and evidence has been obtained for the transformation of these to αm′ and α′. A cellular reaction αS′→αT′+η was observed in the first stage of ageing in the alloy with 60% Zn.
