A small amount of Zr and Ta are added to aluminium-copper (Al-Cu) alloys, and the
evolution of strengthening phases with multi-step heat-treatment and their stability after …

Insufficient performance, especially at high temperatures, limits the extensive application of
cast Al–Cu alloys. This study proposes a novel method of direct reaction synthesis (DRS) for …

An ultra-fine grained (UFG) Mg-1Zn-0.2 Ca-1.0 MgO composite with an average grain size of
0.49 µm as well as an excellent combination of yield strength (379 MPa) and ductility …

Owing to the special layer-by-layer deposition process of directed energy deposition (DED),

Experimental observations reveal that the formation of Lüders bands and the Mg content
significantly influence the strain dependence of the Hall-Petch slope in Al-Mg alloys …

Large plastic deformation and ductile damage in precipitation hardening aluminum alloy
AA7075 is driven by plastic flow in the vicinity of particles as well as fracture and decohesion …

To investigate the coupling strengthening mechanism of precipitate and Cu solute atoms in
Al-Mg-Si alloy, the molecular dynamics model of edge dislocation motion interacted with …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is widely used because of its well-known advantages, but there
are some disadvantages including microstructure inconsistencies and harmful residual …
