There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

Understanding the morphological evolution of precipitates is critical for evaluating their
hardening effects and therefore improving the yield strength of an alloy during aging. Here …

The growth of an ellipsoidal precipitate has been analysed in the mixed-mode regime for a
binary system. Under the assumption that the precipitate grows with constant eccentricities …

The behavior of a A356+ 0.5 wt% Cu alloy used to manufacture cylinder heads was studied.
Samples were solutionized, quenched and aged at 200° C for 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 h. TEM …

Solidification microstructure, precipitation microstructure, and mechanical properties of
foundry Al-Si-Cu-Hf alloy were investigated to elucidate the role of Hf during the …

This study presents a modeling of spatial and size distributions of precipitates in diffusion-
controlled phase transitions in metals. These data are essential for estimating the probability …

With the annual increasing effects of climate change becoming more evident industries are
looking inward to do their part and help minimize global warming. Over the past decade, the …

The purpose of this work is to design a new heat treatment in order to improve the
mechanical properties of primary 356+ 0.5 wt% Cu aluminum alloy. This heat treatment …

采用光学显微镜, 扫描电镜, X 射线衍射, 能谱仪等手段, 研究了Al-xCe (x= 6, 8, 10, 12,%,
质量分数, 下同) 和Al-8Ce-yNi (y= 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,%) 合金的组织和力学性能. 结果表明, 随着Ce …

The mechanical properties of Al alloys are strongly affected by their microstructure: the size
and shape of precipitates, their homogeneous distribution and their coherency with the …
