Abstract
The Al 7050 alloy is an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr alloy having good mechanical properties. This alloy has been developed in order to overcome stress corrosion cracking problems that characterise 7xxx Al alloys. Despite Al 7050 is widely used for aerospace applications, it can be subjected to crack initiation and propagation during the manufacturing process. In this work cracked Al 7050 components have been analysed in order to identify possible causes of crack formation such as coarse intermetallic phase presence, voids or wrong mechanical machining processes.
