The results show that AA7178-T6 金，尤其以T6 熱處理得到之強度最高，然而 exhibited a higher hardness although 其耐蝕性卻不佳，易遭受晶界腐蝕。文獻指 AA7178-T7 had a lower corrosion rate. A high 出，過時效之7 千系鋁合金，如T7 或RRA 熱 density of fine η phase (MgZn2) particles was 處理，雖然其強度比T6 稍弱，卻可大幅提昇 found in T6 grain boundaries while large and 材料之耐蝕性。本文針對鋁合金 7178 分別進 spaced η phase particles in T7 grain boundaries. 行T6 與T7 之熱處理，發現7178-T7 之硬度雖 The corrosion potential of η phase particles is 然較T6 稍弱，然而其晶界腐蝕速率卻大幅降 lower than that of the matrix and would be 低。材料之微觀組織指出，AA7178-T6 在晶界 corroded preferentially. A continuous 上有小而連續的η相（MgZn2 ），而AA7178-T7 distribution of η phase particles at the grain 晶界上的η相較大且分散。因為η相的腐蝕電 boundaries was found to accelerate the corrosion 位較基材低，故連續分佈的η相會加速腐蝕侵 propagation. The over-aged AA7178-T7 had 蝕，而過時效的AA7178-T7 雖然使得η相在晶 larger and more spaced η phase particles at the 界上變大，但卻也間隔較遠，延緩了晶界腐蝕 grain boundaries which retarded the corrosion 的行進。
