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 …

The elimination of hot cracking and enhancement of wear resistance have important
practical significance for wide application of high-strength Al–Cu–Mg–Si series aluminum …

The effect of cold rolling on the precipitation kinetics of the hardening phase has been
studied in industrial AA2024. Due to the relatively simple precipitation sequence and the use …

The effects of T5 and T6 heat treatment on the microstructural development and mechanical
properties of newly developed die-cast Al-xCu-2.2% Si-1.1% Mg (x= 5, 6.6 and 10.6, in wt%) …

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 study, the effect of Pr on the microstructure and hot tearing sensitivity of the Al-4.4 Cu-
1.5 Mg-0.15 Zr alloy was studied using a self-made multi-channel “cross” hot tearing test …

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

This study investigated the effect of T6 treatment on the microstructure and mechanical
properties of a die-cast Al–Si–Cu alloy at three vacuum degrees: 1013, 200, and 100 mbar …

The complex precipitation evolutions of Al-Cu-Mg alloys during both non-isothermal and
isothermal thermal processes have been found to work on their mechanical properties and …

The atomic structure of Ω plates forming on {111} Al planes in an Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy has
been investigated by Z-contrast atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron …
