Emerging trends in manufacturing such as light weighting, increased performance and
functionality increases the use of multi-material, hybrid structures and thus the need for …

Multi-component alloys have demonstrated excellent performance in various applications,
but the vast range of possible compositions and microstructures makes it challenging to …

The contribution of ultrafine grains and nanoscaled precipitates has been investigated in the
Al–Mg–Si system to optimize the combination of strength and electrical conductivity. A full …

Precipitation strengthening is a highly complex phenomenon on the nanoscale, responsible
for providing strength in Al-Cu, Al-Mg-Cu, Al-Mg-Zn and Al-Mg-Si alloys. Advances in …

It is generally believed that β ″precipitates, rather than β′ precipitates, are the major
strengthening precipitates in aged Al–Mg–Si alloys. The reason for this difference is not well …

In this study we demonstrate the complementarity of transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
and atom probe tomography (APT) in studying the early stages of phase decomposition in …

The peak-hardness aged (T6) precipitates in 6061 (Mg: Si≈ 2: 1) and Si-enriched 6061 (Mg:
Si≈ 1: 1.1) alloys have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy and …

The natural aging and artificial aging behaviours of Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloys with different Mg/Si
ratios and Cu additions were investigated using Vickers microhardness measurements …

The effect of Ag addition on the precipitation evolution and interfacial segregation for Al–Mg–
Si alloys was systematically investigated by atomic resolution high-angle annular dark-field …

This work focuses on the effect of high pressure torsion (HPT) on the thermostability,
microstructure, mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of an Al–8.5 wt.% RE (RE …
