The natural aging behavior of pure ternary Al‐Mg‐Si alloys is investigated by measuring
hardness, electrical resistivity and positron lifetime, as well as carrying out thermal analysis …

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 plastic deformation showing instability has been a subject receiving considerable
attention for centuries due to its importance in many industrial processes. For Al alloys, the …

Scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging of Al–Zn–Mg alloys has provided new
information on the atomic structures of solute rich clusters forming from a supersaturated …

The process of natural aging in pure ternary Al-Mg-Si alloys was studied by positron
annihilation lifetime spectroscopy in real time in order to clarify the sequence and kinetics of …

This paper assesses how simple small-angle scattering particle size evaluation models,
such as Porod or Guinier radii, which have a normally limited validity range, may see this …

The formation and evolution of hardening precipitates in a Mg–Y–Nd (WE43) alloy during
artificial ageing at 150 and 210° C is followed by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) …

We have investigated the influence of deformation-induced defects on the isothermal
precipitation at 550° C in as-quenched (solute-supersaturated) and annealed (solute …

Quantitatively characterizing precipitate microstructures in metals by small-angle scattering
poses specific challenges as compared to other areas of application of this technique. In …

In this work AA7150 and AA7079 were studied as examples of 7xxx aluminum alloys with a
high and low Cu content. The alloys were carefully examined to determine the evolution …
