Precipitation strengthening is a highly complex phenomenon on the nanoscale, responsible
for providing strength in Al-Cu, Al-Mg-Cu, Al-Mg-Zn and Al-Mg-Si alloys. Advances in …

In Al–Mg–Si alloys, additions of only a few weight percent of Mg and Si enable formation of
hardening precipitates during heat treatment. The precipitation is complex and is influenced …

This study concerns the effect of low Cu additions (≲ 0.1 at.%) on the precipitate crystal
structure evolution in three Al-Mg-Si (-Cu) alloys during overageing. The evolution was …

Abstract Al-Mg-Si alloys are known as structural materials and are primary alloys in the
automotive industry to achieve weight reduction. Shifting toward sustainability, lower energy …

Abstract Understanding 6xxx AA (Al-Mg-Si alloys) relies heavily on structural analysis at the
atomic level. Because the nanoscale precipitates that form during artificial ageing essentially …

This review gives an overview of the effects of clusters in various aluminum alloys.
Characterization methods are discussed in general and results for the important AlMgSi …

Abstract The Guinier–Preston–Bagaryatsky (GPB) zone and the S phase are the key
strengthening precipitates in Al-Cu-Mg alloys. However, how their respective structures …

The precipitation behavior and aging response of an Al-4.9 Cu-0.74 Mg-0.51 Si-0.48 Mn-0.1
Cr-0.08 Ti-0.02 Fe (wt.%) alloy was examined in detail after aging at 170° C with different …

Shifting toward sustainability and low carbon emission necessitates recycling. Aluminum
alloys can be recycled from postconsumer scrap with approximately 5% of the energy …

Precipitation behavior in an industrially extruded AA7003 alloy has been studied using
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) together with Differential Scanning Calorimetry …
