In Al–Mg–Si alloys, additions of only a few weight percent of Mg and Si enable formation of
hardening precipitates during heat treatment. The precipitation is complex and is influenced …

Abstract Understanding 6xxx AA (Al-Mg-Si alloys) relies heavily on structural analysis at the
atomic level. Because the nanoscale precipitates that form during artificial ageing essentially …

B′ is a common type of metastable precipitate in over-aged Al-Mg-Si alloys, which is long
regarded as a variation of the Q precipitate in Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloys due to the similarity …

Shifting toward sustainability and low carbon emission necessitates recycling. Aluminum
alloys can be recycled from postconsumer scrap with approximately 5% of the energy …

The precipitation behavior of a typical Si-rich low Cu Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy (AA6022 alloy) was
thoroughly investigated by atomic resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning …

In this paper, the effects of a series of alloying atoms on the stability and micromechanical
properties of aluminum alloy was studied by the first-principles calculations of density …

The addition of minor elements is effective in designing high-strength aluminum alloys by
modifying precipitation, such that clarifying the strengthening origin is highly significant …

In this paper, the vacancy formation energy and the migration energy of the alloying atoms in
the aluminum matrix were calculated using the density functional theory of the first principle …

The influence of different Cu addition levels on the age hardening and precipitation
behaviors in an Al356 foundry alloy during artificial aging treatment has been systematically …

This work reports a novel effect of impurity element Cd on enhancing the precipitation
kinetics and increasing the peak hardness of Al–Mg–Si (–Cu) alloys during artificial ageing …
