Abstract: High-zinc aluminum alloy which refers to an aluminum-based alloy with the content of Zn ranges from 10% to 45%, has the advantages of excellent wear-resisting performance, high strength, high hardness and excellent damping capacity. It is widely used in sliding bearings, shafts, and other wear-resistant parts. High-zinc aluminum alloy is a substitute for tin-copper alloy and zinc-aluminum alloy. As a wear-resistant alloy to replace tin-copper alloy and zinc aluminum alloy, high-zinc aluminum alloy not only reduces the cost of production but also makes up for the lack of tin-copper resources in China. However, the high-zinc aluminum alloy also has disadvantages such as low dimensional stability and plasticity, poor creep resistance and poor corrosion resistance. Nowadays, the following methods have been used to improve the mechanical properties of high-zinc aluminum alloys: (ⅰ) alloying technique has been applied in Al-Zn alloys, such as adding Cu, Si, Mn, Ti, Er, Sc, Zr and other elements. First, the hard particles formed after the alloying elements react with the matrix can increase the strength and hardness of the alloy. Secondly, alloying elements can serve as heterogeneous nucleation centers during solidification, leading to a reduction in grain size. (ⅱ) Increasing the cooling rate of solidification, such as die-casting and squeeze-casting. A high cooling rate during solidification is beneficial for increasing the rate of nucleation and results in a notable refinement in the size of grains and secondary phases. (ⅲ) Plastic deformation (such as extrusion and rolling), which can eliminate the cast defects, refine the grain size and increase the dislocation density, consequently increase the strength of Al-Zn alloys. This review offers the current status of research on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high-zinc aluminum alloys in recent years. On the basis of summing up the existing literature. This paper introduces the influence of alloying elements Zn, Cu, Si, Mn, Ti, Zr, Er, Sc and other elements on the microstructure and properties of high-zinc aluminum alloys, introduces the influence of the deformation process and heat treatment process on the microstructure and properties of high-zinc aluminum alloys. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of high-zinc aluminum alloy are analyzed and its research direction is prospected.
