The process of void nucleation, growth, and coalescence is among the dominant ductile
failure modes in metallic alloys and can be transgranular as well as intergranular. In the …

Precipitate free zones (PFZ) near grain boundaries of aluminum alloys are known to have
important effects on the localization of plastic deformation in these regions. The objective of …

The nucleation, evolution and coalescence of voids is the well-established mechanism
leading to ductile fracture under tension-dominated loading conditions. From a theoretical …

Strong metals are greatly desired for lightweight and energy-efficient industrial design. The
strengthening of metals is traditionally accomplished by the additive contributions of various …

Age hardened aluminum alloys have superior strengths compared to non-age hardenable
alloys due to the growth of a secondary phase of precipitates. This work presents a new …

The yielding, plastic flow and fracture of textured aluminium alloys depend on their
microstructure formed during the thermo-mechanical processing. In this work, we investigate …

Abstract The Al-Mg-Si-Fe-Cr alloy was subjected to water quenching (WQ) and air
quenching (AQ) after solution treatment for 30 min at 843 K followed by a peak artificial …

The main attraction of metallic nanolayered composites (MNCs) lies not only with their five-to
ten-fold increases in strength over that of their constituents, but also in the tunability of their …

This paper compares the nano-scale structure of β” precipitates in a peak-aged Al-Mg-Si
alloy before and after deformation. Three complementary advanced transmission electron …

The cold metal transfer plus pulse (CMT+ P) process was performed to produce a 316L
vertical wall through the single-channel multi-layer deposition method. The microstructure of …
