The effect of different retrogression and re-aging (RRA) treatment on the microstructure, strength and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance of a high Zn content Al alloy was investigated. The peak microhardness values after retrogression and re-aging at 180 degrees C/30 min and 200 degrees C/10 min were 214 HV and 215 HV, respectively, which are higher than that after T6 and T7 aging. The retrogression re-aged samples have large numbers of eta ' precipitate (MgZn2), resulting in high mechanical properties of the alloy. The SCC resistance order of the alloys was found to be: T6 < RRA (120 degrees C/24 h + 180 degrees C/30 min + 120 degrees C/24 h) < RRA (120 degrees C/ 24 h + 200 degrees C/10 min + 120 degrees C/24 h) < T7, and the optimal retrogression re-aging process is 120 degrees C/ 24 h + 180 degrees C/30 min + quenching + 120 degrees C/24 h. The improvement in the stress corrosion cracking resistance of the retrogression re-aged samples can be attributed to the increased interspaces of grain boundary precipitates and uniform distribution of the elements (Cu and Mg) in the grain boundary precipitates.
