This review gives an overview of the effects of clusters in various aluminum alloys.
Characterization methods are discussed in general and results for the important AlMgSi …

This study investigates differences in the deformation mechanisms between room
temperature (296 K) and cryogenic temperatures (77 K) and their advantages for low …

The natural aging (NA) response of a commercial Al–Zn–Mg alloy has been tracked to
investigate the effects of solute clusters on its mechanical properties. It has been observed …

The nature of obstacles to dislocation motion in CoCrFeMnNi alloy was analyzed using the
thermally activated deformation analyses at low temperatures. The strong temperature …

A new generation of aluminum alloys, strengthened by the T-Mg 32 (AlZn (Cu)) 49 phase,
has been created in the last decade based on the 5xxx series Al–Mg alloy, modified with …

Abstract Effect of aging temperature on precipitation behavior and mechanical properties of
an AA2519 alloy was examined. Long-term natural aging provides the best combination of …

Sc solute clusters with a high number density were produced in an Al-0.3 wt.% Sc alloy
when aged at 250° C, while fine Al 3 Sc precipitates were predominantly formed in the same …

In the present study, the influence of Zn content on the microstructure and mechanical
properties of the Al-Mg-Si alloy is systematically investigated. The results show that the …

Magnesium (Mg) has the lowest density of all structural metals and has excellent potential
for wide use in structural applications. While pure Mg has inferior mechanical properties; the …

When a supersaturated Al solid solution is held at room temperature, natural ageing occurs
through the formation of clusters/zones providing a strengthening of the material. Recently, it …
