    Abstract: The invention concerns an extruded, rolled and/or forged aluminum-based alloy product having a thickness of at least 25 mm comprising (in weight %): Zn 6.70-7.40; Mg 1.50-1.80; Cu 2.20-2.60, with a Cu to Mg ratio of at least 1.30; Zr 0.04-0.14; Mn 0-0.5; Ti 0-0.15; V 0-0.15; Cr 0-0.25; Fe 0-0.15; Si 0-0.15; impurities ≤0.05 each and ≤0.15 total. The invention also concerns a method of making such a product. Products according to the invention are particularly advantageous because they exhibit simultaneously a low sensitivity to environmentally assisted cracking under conditions of high stress and humid environment, high strength and high toughness properties.

    Abstract: An aluminum alloy material as one aspect of the present disclosure has a chemical composition including: Zn: more than 6.5% (mass %, same applies hereafter) and 8.5% or less; Mg: 0.5% or more and 1.5% or less; Cu: 0.10% or less; Fe: 0.30% or less; Si: 0.30% or less; Mn: less than 0.05%; Cr: less than 0.05%; Zr: 0.05% or more and 0.10% or less; and Ti: 0.001% or more and 0.05% or less, a balance including Al and inevitable impurities. In the aluminum alloy material, a mass ratio of Zn to Mg (Zn/Mg) is 5 or more and 16 or less, and a metallographic structure includes an equigranular recrystallized structure.
