Relating fractographic analysis to yield strength of novel X7475 (Al–Zn–Mg–Cu) alloys produced by recycling aluminium beverage cans

The aim of this letter was to conduct a postmortem on the nature of fracture, substrates and possible precipitates formed in a novel experimental 7xxx alloy cast from recycled beverage cans (RBCs) and link same to yield strength (sigma(y)) following heat treatment (HT). Fractographic investigation r...
