A high strength Al-5024 alloy containing Sc and Zr with a bi-modal microstructure consisting
of fine equiaxed and coarse columnar grains was successfully fabricated by laser powder …

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of AlMgScZr alloys have a combination of high strength
and good ductility, which may apply to damage-tolerant structures. However, there have …

In the present work, hot compression deformation behavior and microstructure evolution in a
homogenized Al–6Mg–0.8 Mn alloy with nano-sized Al 6 Mn phase particles were …

Plastic instability caused by the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect remains a challenge for Al–
Mg alloy sheets during shape-forming processes, as it causes unsightly stretcher-strain …

The plastic deformation showing instability has been a subject receiving considerable
attention for centuries due to its importance in many industrial processes. For Al alloys, the …

Abstract In this work, Al 6 Mn phases with various sizes and morphologies were achieved in
homogenized Al–6Mg–0.8 Mn alloys. The homogenized alloys were compressed at 450° C …

Abstract 5xxx Al-Mg based alloys are widely applied as non-heat-treatable alloys. In this
work, we designed a dispersion-strengthening Al-4Mg-1Mn-0.3 Fe-0.2 Si-0.2 Zr-0.2 Cr …

Abstract Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect often occurs in many alloy systems and leads to
flow stress variations. When precipitation occurs, the PLC behavior changes and its resultant …

Abstract The 5xxx-series Al–Mg alloys are susceptible to plastic instabilities visible as stress
serrations during uniaxial tensile testing and known as the Portevin Le Chatelier (PLC) …

Abstract Low-magnesium 5xxx (< 3 wt%) alloys effectively suppress sensitization but have
low strength due to limited solid solution strengthening. This study shows that despite the …
