Nanoscale precipitation is one of the most widely used microstructural tools to manipulate
the properties of metallic alloys, and especially to reach high strength. Optimal …

Zn content is one of the most concerned factors in the development of next generation ultra-
strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys owing to its essential role in precipitation strengthening. In the …

Evolution of precipitate and precipitate/matrix interface in artificially aged Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (-Ag)
alloys has been systematically studied. In the early stage of ageing, Ag, as a fast diffuser …

Most metallurgical properties, eg, dislocation propagation, precipitate formation, can only be
fully understood atomistically but most phenomena and quantities of interest cannot be …

The precipitation sequence in Al–Zn–Mg alloys has been subject to many revisions over the
years as more structural details of the early-stage Guinier-Preston (GP) zones and …

The formability of Al alloys is strongly influenced by their strain hardening capacity. Whilst
the effect of precipitates on yield strength has been thoroughly studied, their effects on the …

The influence of Cu content on microstructures and mechanical properties of a highly
alloyed Al-10.0 Zn-2.6 Mg-xCu-0.15 Zr alloy with the Cu content in the range of 0 to 3.0 was …

The effects of the Zn/Mg ratio on the as-cast microstructure, aging-precipitation behavior,
and mechanical properties of cast Al–Cu–Zn–Mg alloys, an interesting precipitation …

The cyclic application of mechanical stress to aluminum alloys at room temperature, referred
to as cyclic ageing, continuously injects vacancies, enabling dynamic precipitation of a fine …

Abstract Quench-induced S (Al 2 CuMg) phases are generally formed in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys.
The precipitation and relative crystallographic relationships of η-type (MgZn 2) precipitates …
