It is well known that strong concurrent precipitation, mainly located along grain/subgrain boundaries, results in a coarse and elongated grain structure, and unusual sharp P {011} and/or M {113} texture components during annealing of supersatur ...
W-2Y, W-1Y(2)O(3) and W-2Y(2)O(3) materials have been fabricated using two different powder metallurgy methods. While W-2Y and W-1Y(2)O(3) have been fabricated using mechanical alloying and hot isostatic pressing (Hipping), W-2Y(2)O(3) has been fabricated ...
Elongated coarse P{011}-oriented grains are frequently observed after annealing of cold-rolled Al–Mn alloys with a highly supersaturated solid solution level. In this study, important factors affecting the strength of the P-texture component after ann ...
The interaction between recrystallization and concurrent precipitation is strongly dependent on the heating rate during annealing. In this study, the effects of heating rate on the grain structure, recrystallization texture and resulting mechanical propert ...
The softening behaviour during non-isothermal annealing of a cold-rolled Al–Mn–Fe–Si model alloy was studied as a function of the state of microchemistry, in terms of the solute level of Mn, size and spatial distribution of the Mn-bearing dispersoids, as w ...
The influence of microchemistry on the softening behaviour of two cold-rolled Al–Mn–Fe–Si alloys with different initial amounts of Mn (0.4 and 1.0 wt%) is studied. In addition to their as-cast conditions, the supersaturated Al–Mn–Fe-Si alloys were appropri ...
In the fabrication of heat treatable aluminium parts, solutionising and quenching are key steps in order to obtain the required mechanical characteristics. Fast quenching is necessary to avoid coarse precipitation as this one reduces the mechanical propert ...
In the fabrication of heat-treatable aluminum parts such as AA2618 compressor impellers for turbochargers, solutionizing and quenching are key steps to obtain the required mechanical characteristics. Fast quenching is necessary to avoid coarse precipitatio ...
Fatigue damage accumulation and failure of steel reinforcement bars (rebars) is a stochastic process. Scatter can be influenced by the sensitivity of the short crack growth to the microstructural features, especially near the fatigue limit. This work inves ...
The formation of Cu-Mg clusters in an Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloy is observed by small-angle X-ray scattering during cooling. Cooling rates are choosen to mimic the different conditions obtained at the surface and in the center of large forgings. Clusters of 0 ...
