It was recently shown that silicon particles in heat-treated Al–Si casting alloys can contain flaws such as surface pinholes and grooves, which cause varying degrees of reduction in the in situ particle fracture strength and hence influence the mechanical ...
Mg-3wt.%RE alloys show substantially enhanced < c + a > activity as compared to pure Mg or other Mg-Al, Mg-Zn alloys of similar grain sizes. Activation of < c + a > slip has been postulated to be associated with the reduction of the basal Li stacking fault ...
Age hardening induced by the formation of (semi)-coherent precipitate phases is crucial for the processing and final properties of the widely used Al-6000 alloys despite the early stages of precipitation are still far from being fully understood. This cruc ...
The mechanical strength of metals depends on their resistance against various microscopic
deformation processes. In ductile metals, the most important process is shearing of the crystal
lattice by dislocations. One of the fundamental aspects of dislocation ...
A theory to predict the initial flow stress of an arbitrary N-component fcc random alloy is extended to predict the additional strengthening when a dilute concentration of a substitutional element is introduced. Assuming properties for the N-component allo ...
High throughput first-principles calculations were employed to unravel the thermodynamic stability of two sets of hierarchical phases, β′′′P and β′′′S, in Mg-RE (rare-earth) alloys. The β′′′P orderings (with compositions greater than xRE=0.125) are predict ...
It has been shown recently that minute additions of Cr in Al-Zn alloys refine the solidified grain structure and induce multiply-twinned grains which can only be explained if the icosahedral symmetry is considered (Kurtuldu et al., 2013). It has been sugge ...
The recrystallization behavior of an Al-Cu-Mg alloy is investigated in multi-directionally forged over-aged and solution treated alloys, during non-isothermal annealing. Deformation and non-isothermal annealing are performed with a Gleeble 3800 thermo-mech ...
The non-isothermal aging behaviour of a newly developed Al–Zn–Mg–Cu alloy containing 17 wt-% Zn was investigated. Hardness and shear punch tests demonstrated that during nonisothermal aging, the mechanical properties of the alloy first increased and then d ...
The recrystallization behaviour of Al-Mn alloys (AA3xxx series alloys) is affected by randomly distributed dispersoids present before annealing, by dispersoids precipitated at grain/subgrain boundaries before the onset of recrystallization, and by disperso ...
