The age hardening process of a 6082 Al–Mg–Si alloy by isothermal ageing at 100, 125 and
150° C for 0 to 40 days has been investigated by both conventional and high-resolution …

Heat treatments of 6082 Al-alloy with 0.6 wt% Mg, 0.9 wt% Si, 0.5 wt% Mn and 0.2 wt% Fe
can lead to a considerable increase in hardness. This increase is due to the presence of …

Abstract Effects of Cu content and preaging treatments on precipitation sequence and
artificial aging response in aluminum alloy 6022 were investigated using transmission …

This paper systematically investigates the effect of laser shock peening without coating
parameters on the microstructural evolution, and dislocation configurations induced by ultra …

High-resolution microfractography performed in combination with transmission electron
microscopy shows that the mechanical behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced Al-based matrix …

Abstract The Al–Cu–Mg–Si alloying system is a base for a diverse group of commercial
alloys which acquire their properties after quenching and aging. Therefore, the knowledge of …

Outstanding mechanical and conductive properties are vital to Al alloys used as overhead
conductors. However, high strength and high electrical conductivity are usually mutually …

The kinetics of hardening precipitates of Al–1.12 wt.% Mg2Si–0.35 wt.% Si (excess Si) and
Al–1.07 wt.% Mg2Si–0.33 wt.% Cu (balanced+ Cu) alloys have been investigated by means …
