Theprecipitate behavior, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy during non-isothermal creep aging were investigated. The results show that diffraction patterns of GPI zones gradually disappear and those of η′ phases are strengthened during the heating stage. More importantly, the size and volume fraction of precipitates increase with aging temperature increasing, which greatly enhances the mechanical properties of the alloy. The hardness and tensile strength of the alloy with H210 aging condition are 165 HV and 564 MPa, respectively. During the cooling stage, in addition to the diffraction pattern of η′ phase, that of GPI zones can be observed again. Furthermore, the size of the precipitates decreases, and the volume fraction reaches a maximum. The hardness and tensile strength of the alloy with C120 aging condition reach 185 HV and 580 MPa, respectively. Furthermore, the characteristics of the grain boundary reveal that the width of precipitation free zones (PFZ) first increases during the heating stage and then decreases during the cooling stage. In the C120 condition, the newly generated secondary precipitates and the coarsening of undissolved precipitates around the grain boundary lead to the further narrowing of PFZ, but the coarse grain boundary precipitates (GBPs) are still not continuously distributed in the grain boundary. Hence, the alloy with C120 condition exhibits the most excellent corrosion resistance.
