The sustainability of a transportation system is a major concerning factor for urbanisation, as
evidenced by the ever-growing problems of air pollution issues in major cities. While the …

Aluminium alloys are being increasingly utilised in the automotive and aerospace industries
to reduce the weight of vehicles. Extensive research has been conducted to overcome the …

The automotive industry has a decisive role in the economy of developed countries. Sheet
metal forming–as one of the main processes in car manufacturing–has similarly important …

As a hard-to-abate sector, the iron and steel industry is responsible for 22% of China's total

The natural aging (NA) phenomena and its negative effect on bake hardening (BH)
response, and a wide temperature/time range of pre-aging (PA) treatment on a novel Al-Mg …

The authors researched the physical, metallurgical, and mechanical characteristics of A354
alloy (Al-Si-Mg-Cu) reinforced with 5, 10, and 15 wt% of fly ash metal matrix composites. A …

The combined effect of adding Sn and natural aging (NA) time on the precipitation and age-
hardening rate of the Al-0.4 Mg-1.0 Si alloy was investigated by a hardness test, electrical …

Joining technologies play a crucial role in facilitating vehicle weight reduction, while
maintaining structural performance and vehicle crashworthiness. Adhesive and self-piercing …

The negative natural aging effect is commonly observed in heat-treatable reinforced Al–Mg–
Si alloys. It has been observed that when the Mg/Si mass ratio in the alloy approaches 0.68 …

This work explores effects of Ge and Sb on the formation of secondary phases, with an
emphasis laid on the thermo-kinetics of phase transformations and the mechanisms …
