Abstract

See full text

The present invention further relates to 7xxx alloys and products produced therewith that can be flat rolled, extruded or forged, as well as associated methods. Al--Zn--Mg--Cu alloys of the present invention preferably comprise (in mass percentage): a) Zn 8.3-14.0 Cu 0.3-2.0 Mg 0.5-4.5 Zr 0.03-0.15 Fe+Si<0.25 b) at least one element selected from the group consisting of Sc, Hf, La, Ti, Ce, Nd, Eu, Gd, Th, Dy, Ho, Er, Y and Yb, where the content of each of the elements, if selected, is between 0.02 and 0.7%, c) remainder aluminum and inevitable impurities. The present invention further is directed to products wherein Mg/Cu>2.4 and (7.9-0.4 Zn)>(Cu+Mg)>(6.4-0.4 Zn). The disclosed products can be used for example, as structural members in aeronautical construction, especially as stiffeners capable for use in fuselages of civilian and other aircrafts as well as in related applications.
