A detailed characterization of phase transformations in the heat-treated commercial 7075 aluminum alloys without/with low Sc–Zr addition was carried out. Mechanical and electrical properties, thermal corrosion behavior were compared to microstructure development. The eutectic consists four parts: MgZn2 phase, Al2CuMg (S-phase), Al2Zn3Mg3 (T-phase), primary λ-Al(Mn,Fe,Si) phase. Strengthening during non-isothermal (isochronal) annealing is caused by a combination formation GP zones, η’-phase,...

Newton’s laws are essential for understanding causes and description of mechanical motion. Great attention is paid to them during physics education. Unfortunately, many students, not only in high school, but also undergraduates, can recite do understand their essence. Therefore, it useful demonstrate different experiments the classroom order support strengthen understanding. Less traditional demonstrating be performed using Poggendorff’s scales (also known as fall device). This article...
