There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

Nanoscale precipitation is one of the most widely used microstructural tools to manipulate
the properties of metallic alloys, and especially to reach high strength. Optimal …

Nucleation, the initial process in vapor condensation, crystal nucleation, melting, and
boiling, is the localized emergence of a distinct thermodynamic phase at the nanoscale that …

In this work, a Sc/Zr modified Al-Mg alloy was processed by both selective laser melting
(SLM) and directed energy deposition (DED). Due to different precipitation behavior of …
