Abstract

After severe plastic deformation by the high-pressure torsion, Al-Zn alloys have three various classes of Al/Al grain boundaries (GBs) wetted with a second zinc-rich phase. Completely wetted Al/Al GBs are coated with the layer of a zinc-rich phase more than 30 nm thick. Partially (incompletely) wetted Al/Al GBs contact particles of the zinc-rich phase with a contact angle >60°, but contain no measurable zinc concentration. Pseudopartially wetted Al/Al GBs also contact Zn particles with a contact angle >60°. However, they have a thin interlayer of the zinc-rich phase with a uniform thickness of 2–4 nm, the presence of which explains the unusually high ductility of Al-Zn alloys after high-pressure torsion.
