Abstract The development of Al–Mg–Si-based alloys with advanced superplasticity and
improved mechanical properties is an important task for further applications of superplastic …

Abstract Al-0.59 Mg-0.79 Si (wt.%) alloy was naturally aged for 2 weeks after solutionising
and quenching to produce a high number density of atomic clusters. This caused an …

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a technique extensively applied to analyse
precipitation phenomena in Al-Mg-Si alloys, yet the processes occurring during non …

High-resolution electron microscopy was used to research the age-hardening behaviors in
6005A alloy and the microstructural characterizations of precipitates. It was found that β …

Addition of minute amounts of Sn to Al–Mg–Si alloys is known to have a pronounced effect
on their age hardening characteristics. In this study, the influence of Sn addition on the …

Al-Mg-Si alloys with total solute contents ranging from 0.8 to 1.4 wt% were solutionized,
quenched, and then artificially aged (AA) at 180∘ C, after which positron annihilation lifetime …

Vacancy and solute atom clusters of various sizes and number densities may be formed in
Al alloys during natural ageing (NA) after solutionising and quenching. We study the …

The current study focuses on the influence of Ce on the superplastic behavior,
microstructure, and mechanical properties of the Al-Mg-Si-Cu-Zr-Sc alloy. The multilevel …

In many common Al–Mg–Si alloys (6000 series) intermediate storage at or near 'room
temperature'after solutionising leads to pronounced changes of the precipitation kinetics …

The very early stages of decomposition during room temperature storage, ie just a few
minutes after quenching, are investigated by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy for …
