Improvements in energy efficiency, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and 3R (reduce,
reuse and recycle) have been one of the central topics in recent years in environment and …

This article begins with pure aluminum and a discussion of the form of the crystal structure
and different unit cells that can be used to describe it. Measurements of the face-centered …

This encyclopedia, written by authoritative experts under the guidance of an international
panel of key researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry, is a …

This work present studies on microstructures and mechanical properties of two
conventionally cast Al–Mg–Zn base alloys subjected to aging process: Al-2.7 Mg-2.1 Zn and …

Alloys of the Al–Mg system have been a recent focus of attention for applications in the
automobile industries, because they possess a combination of high specific strength …

The influence of severe plastic deformation, namely twist-channel angular pressing on the
formation of quasicrystalline precipitates in Al–Mn–Zn–Ga alloy, was investigated. The …

Trace additions of Ag are known to stimulate the precipitation behaviour in all Al alloys
containing Mg, with an acceleration in the kinetics of the age-hardening response and an …

In typical heat-treatable aluminium alloys, such as the Al–Cu based alloys, the initial
contribution to precipitation hardening is generally attributable to coherent GP zones (solute …

The orientation relations (ORs) of the cubic icosahedral quasicrystal approximant phase α-Al
(Fe, Mn) Si have been studied after low temperature annealing of a 3xxx wrought aluminium …
