In Al–Mg–Si alloys, additions of only a few weight percent of Mg and Si enable formation of
hardening precipitates during heat treatment. The precipitation is complex and is influenced …

For aluminium alloys, precipitation strengthening is controlled by age-hardening heat
treatments, including solution treatment, quenching, and ageing. In terms of technological …

It is well known that lower quench rate leads to the formation of precipitate free zones (PFZs)
adjacent to grain boundaries in aging hardening materials such as Al–Mg–Si alloys …

In the present work, the influence of trace level Cu on intergranular corrosion (IGC) in
AA6082 Al–Mg–Si alloy is studied using correlative accelerated corrosion testing and high …

This work presents a detailed investigation into the effect of a low Cu addition (0.01 at.%) on
precipitation in an Al-0.80 Mg-0.85 Si alloy during ageing. The precipitate crystal structures …

The influence of quench cooling rate on corrosion behaviour of AA6082-T6 Al-Mg-Si alloy
extrusion is investigated. It is revealed that different quench cooling rates result in significant …

We investigated the effect of different Cu additions (0.1 wt.% and 0.3 wt.%) on the
precipitation activation energy and mechanical properties of Al–Mg–Si alloys under different …

A detailed analysis of grain boundaries in a highly textured Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy is presented in
this work. Electron backscatter diffraction demonstrates the presence of three main …

The effect of pre-straining on the natural aging and bake hardening of Al-Mg-Si alloys with
different additions of Cu were investigated by Vickers microhardness measurements …

This encyclopedia, written by authoritative experts under the guidance of an international
panel of key researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry, is a …
