Low Cu and Ag additions (≤ 0.10 at%) were found to strongly affect the age-hardening
behavior in Al Mg Si alloys with Mg+ Si> 1.5 at%. The hardness increased during aging …

The effects of Ag and/or Cu additions on the natural aging and precipitation hardening
behavior of Al-Mg-Si alloys were investigated by using hardness test, differential scanning …

The precipitation-hardening behavior of aluminum alloy AA6111 during artificial aging and
the influence of prior natural aging on the aging behavior were investigated. The evolution of …

Age hardening in a purely ternary Al-Mg0. 4–Si0. 4 (0.44 at% Mg, 0.38 at% Si) alloy that is
similar to AA6060 was investigated by hardness measurement, TEM and three-dimensional …

The solute clusters and the metastable precipitates in aged Al–Mg–Si alloys have been
characterized by a three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) and transmission electron …

To study how changes in solute elements affect precipitation, six Al-Mg-Si alloys aged at
175° C were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In alloys with 1.3 at …

The precipitations in an Al–5.0 Cu–0.3 Mg (wt%) alloy and an Al–5.0 Cu–0.3 Mg–0.3 Si
(wt%) alloy have been systematically investigated by high-angle annular dark-field scanning …

Abstract An Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy was water quenched after solute heat treatment at 540℃ for 1
