The decomposition behaviour of an Al‐2.0 at.% Zn‐1.0 at.% Mg alloy after direct quench (DQ) and indirect quench (IQ: T a 1= 23 °C, t a 1 ) to the ageing temperature T a 2= 160 °C (above the temperature of the rapid homogeneous nucleation, T h ) was investigated by means of TEM and isothermal resistivity measurements. The precipitation density of the η‐particles yields a maximum value at pre‐ageing times about 10 min at T a 1= 23 °C. To clear up the reason for that phenomenon a loop‐formation and clustering model was introduced.
