Abstract: Through microstructure analysis method and X ray diffraction analysis, the microstructure, structure and phase composition of spinodal Al-Zn alloy with symmetrical composition were studied. The results show that the single phase solid solution of Al-Zn alloys in equal volume fractions (EVF) can be obtained after solid solution treatment, but it will undergo spinodal decomposition and precipitation of Zn at room temperature. Under the condition of fast cooling of steel die cast, the phase composition of this alloy has already reached its equilibrium state, although there are many defects and large heterogeneity in compositions. By the method of measuring crystalline lattice parameters, the phase composition in Al rich solid solution of the two phases in high discreteness that are formed through spinodal decomposition and discontinuous precipitation can be determined approximately.
