Investigation of the microstructural evolution of Al-Mn-Fe-Si alloys during annealing after cold rolling has been carried out. The effect of microchemistry state in terms of Mn in solid solution, constituents, size and volume fraction of dispersoids, intro ...
Microstructural evolution of a cold-rolled Al-Mn-Fe-Si alloy during annealing was studied. Except the as-cast variant, two other different homogenizations were considered, one gave a high density of fine dispersiods providing a considerable Zener drag infl ...
Micro-compression experiments were carried out on micro-pillars, with nominal diameter of 10 mu m and height 20 mu m, and fabricated from a high-chromium tempered martensitic steels developed for nuclear applications. An analytical method was proposed to c ...
Early subnanometre cluster formation during quenching of a high-strength AA7449 aluminium alloy was investigated using in situ small angle X-ray scattering. Fast quench cooling was obtained by using a laser-based heating system. The size and number density ...
A conventional way to determine precipitation kinetics in heat treatable aluminium alloys is to monitor the associated solute loss by in-situ resistivity. A Gleeble machine is used to perform so called isothermal quenching (IQ) resistivity measurements. IQ ...

We explore the influence of the metal microstructure on the compressive flow stress of replicated microcellular 400-mu m pore size Al-4.5 wt%Cu solidified at two different solidification cooling rates, in the as-cast and T6 conditions. It is found that the ...
In this paper, investigation of the softening behaviour of a supersaturated Al-Mn-Fe-Si alloy during annealing after cold rolling has been carried out. Two different homogenization conditions were considered, of which one gives a condition of a large amoun ...
The physical basis and a mathematical formulation of a softening model nicknamed Alsoft, accounting for the combined effect of recovery and recrystallization during annealing of heavily deformed aluminium alloys have been presented. The prediction power of ...
Titanium alloys manifest low thermal conductivity and high work hardenability in machining. These alloys are thus considered as difficult-to-machine at higher cutting speeds and pose serious problems in machining such as degraded machined surface and rapid ...
