For almost a century commercial aluminum alloys were developed and optimized for high
performance in a specific and narrow range of application, which commonly coincides with …

Aluminium (Al) is an important structural engineering material, its usage ranking only behind
ferrous alloys (Birbilis, Muster et al. 2011). The growth in usage and production of Al …

High-performance aluminum alloys are desired for applications that require lightweight
materials, but it is challenging to overcome the tradeoff between their strength and …

The presence of intermetallic inclusions very often plays a crucial role for the susceptibility of
different aluminium alloys to localized corrosion attack. The intimate details of localized …

Minor additions of Sc and Zr to a 5182 base alloy were used to study the effects of
microstructure on the susceptibility to intergranular corrosion (IGC) of 5xxx sheet alloys. The …

The formation and growth of the magnesium-rich β phase, Al3Mg2, in Al-5083 has been
studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The β phase forms heterogeneously …

This study presents a thermomechanical processing concept which is capable of exploiting
the full industrial application potential of recently introduced AlMgZn (Cu) alloys. The …

Abstract The AA5083 (Al-4.4 Mg-0.7 Mn-0.15 Cr) alloy is a nonheat-treatable aluminum alloy
known for its excellent corrosion resistance. However, it can become susceptible to …

A recurrent challenge with aluminum alloys is their longstanding trade-off between
mechanical strength and formability. Recently recyclability has put further pressure on the …

This study presents age-hardenable, fine-grained AlMgZnCu crossover alloys intended for
superplastic and quick plastic forming processes. The study utilizes T-phase (Mg 32 (Al, Zn) …
