Abstract The Guinier–Preston–Bagaryatsky (GPB) zone and the S phase are the key
strengthening precipitates in Al-Cu-Mg alloys. However, how their respective structures …

In this work, the S/Al interface properties are investigated by aberration-corrected HAADF-
STEM observations and first-principles calculations. Four interface atomic model is built from …

Thermo-mechanical treatment is one of the most important tools in designing properties of
aluminum alloys. Plastic deformation introduces defects to microstructure and provides work …

This work has examined an Al-0.54 Mg-0.38 Si (at.%) conductor alloy (6101) subjected to
two different thermomechanical processing routes. Conventional solution treatment …

The 7A99 Al alloy was subjected to peak aging (PA) and retrogression+ re-aging (RRA), and
the pre-rolling (R) was combined with RRA (RRRA) to balance the mechanical properties …

Mapping the spatial distribution of crystal phases with nm-scale spatial resolution is an
important characterisation task in studies of multi-phase materials. One popular approach is …

The addition of a trace amount of Si significantly affects the precipitation sequence of the Al–
Cu–Mg alloy with a low Cu/Mg ratio, such as forming Si-modified Guinier-Preston …

This study explores the intricate interplay between strain-induced precipitation (SIP) and the
underlying mechanisms that govern hot deformation in AA6082 aluminum alloy. Uniaxial …

Abstract Knowledge of the decomposition process of the microstructure during the
precipitation reaction is a requisite step in many cases for exploiting their unique properties …

Fundamental understanding of S-precipitate formation has received extensive interest owing
to its significant importance in strengthening Al-Cu-Mg alloys. One of the most poorly …
