The natural aging behavior of pure ternary Al‐Mg‐Si alloys is investigated by measuring
hardness, electrical resistivity and positron lifetime, as well as carrying out thermal analysis …

As an approximate computation method, cluster expansion is a power series expansion of
the partition function, which was proposed by Mayer in 1941. In computational materials …

The microstructural distribution associated with a hardness profile in a friction-stir-welded,
age-hardenable 6063 aluminum alloy has been characterized by transmission electron …

The aluminum alloys of the 6xxx series contain an excess of Si above that required to form
stoichiometric Mg2Si, which is added to improve the age hardening due mostly to …

Al–Mg–Si–(Cu) alloys form the basis of a wide variety of commercial precipitation-hardened
alloys, and the observed precipitation sequence in these alloys is complex and involves a …

This study investigates the influence of heat treatment on the anisotropic plastic deformation
behaviors of 6016-O and 6016-T4 aluminum alloy sheets. The two material samples were …

The characterization of nanoscale clusters (nanoclusters) was performed using differential
scanning calorimetry (DSC) and a three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP), to clarify the …

It is well known that long time natural aging (NA) after quenching from solution treatment will
significantly reduce the precipitation hardening kinetics and peak hardness of most 6xxx …

Abstract Atom Probe Tomography (APT) analysis and hardness measurements were used to
characterise the early stages of precipitation in an Al–0.51 at.% Mg–0.94 at.% Si alloy. The …

The aluminum alloy 6013 was friction-stir welded in the T4 and the T6 temper, and the
microstructure and mechanical properties were studied after welding and after applying a …
