Abstract
Deformable alloys of the system Al - Zn - Mg possess a number of advantages over other aluminum alloys. The main advantage is the possibility of obtaining high strength properties in combination with good plastic and resource characteristics and good weldability, high technological adaptability in metallurgical production, and general corrosion resistance. However, these alloys have not found wide application due to the corrosion under stress exhibited by welded joints. The present work concerns the possibility of improving this characteristic by additional alloying of alloys of the Al - Zn - Mg system.
