Compared to most thermomechanical processing methods, friction stir welding (FSW) is a
recent technique which has not yet reached full maturity. Nevertheless, owing to multiple …

Aluminum alloys are increasingly being used in a broad spectrum of load-bearing
applications such as lightweight structures, light rail, bridge decks, marine crafts, and off …

We investigated the precipitation behavior and mechanical properties of naturally aged Al–
7.6 Zn–2.7 Mg–2.0 Cu–0.1 Zr–0.07 Ti (wt.%) alloy using various experimental methods …

Magnesium (Mg) is the lightest structural metal. However, the poor formability of Mg alloys to
great extent limits their applications in making structural parts. Formability is strongly …

It is generally believed that β ″precipitates, rather than β′ precipitates, are the major
strengthening precipitates in aged Al–Mg–Si alloys. The reason for this difference is not well …

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 …

This study presents a thermomechanical processing concept which is capable of exploiting
the full industrial application potential of recently introduced AlMgZn (Cu) alloys. The …

This paper presents a study of the strain hardening of a 7000 series aluminium alloy. A wide
variety of microstructural states are tested both in uniaxial tension and by performing …

This work presents a crystal plasticity model for dynamic precipitation in aluminium alloys. It
takes into account both the influence of an evolving precipitate distribution on the critical …

Recently, laser additive manufacturing (LAM) of Al–Mg–Sc–Zr alloys has been considered
an important method for develo** a new generation of high-performance Al alloys …
