The effects of microalloying with Mg (0–0.23 wt%) on the microstructural evolution and
mechanical properties of Al–Cu 224 cast alloys at ambient and elevated temperatures are …

To study the vacancy-solute-atom interaction, diluted Al-In and Al-Sn alloys with 0.005 and
0.025 at.% indium/tin cast from very high purity elements were investigated by positron …

Thermodynamic calculations and experimental studies including transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), atom probe tomography (APT), microhardness and specific electrical …

Abstract The cast Al–3Li–2Cu-0.15 Zr alloy is a promising material due to its high strength-to-
weight ratio and stiffness. In this work, the Sn addition and heat treatment were employed to …

The influence of trace elements (0.01 at.% In/Sn) on the decomposition process of Al-Cu-
(Mg) alloys during the very early stages of natural ageing has been investigated in situ by …

This study explored the effects of compositional variation of Al-Cu 206 alloys (Si and Mn
concentrations, 0.12 versus 0.3 wt.% each) on the precipitation and thermal stability of θ …

Abstract Al-8Si-0.5 Mg, Al-8Si-2Cu, and Al-8Si-2Cu-0.5 Mg alloys have been designed in
this study, aiming to reveal the influence of Mg and/or Cu additions on microstructures and …

Abstract We study Al-1.74 at.% Cu as a typical binary model alloy to obtain new information
on the precipitation sequence. The alloy has been solution heat treated, rapidly quenched …

Aluminium-copper alloys of the 2xxx type receive their excellent mechanical properties by
the formation of copper-rich precipitates during hardening. Size, distribution and crystal …

In this study, the effects of 0.14 wt-% Sn on accelerating the precipitation kinetics during heat
treatment are quantified. By calculating the activation energy of θ′ phase, it was found that …
