There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

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 …

Abstract Novel Co-Ni bimetallic phosphides with a 2D/3D structure were developed by in-
situ phosphorization and rapid surface reconstruction strategies for use as an efficient …

Solute clustering is a technologically important microstructural process in Al alloys. Exerting
control over this process to enhance the alloy properties and reduce the energy costs of …

This study concerns the effect of low Cu additions (≲ 0.1 at.%) on the precipitate crystal
structure evolution in three Al-Mg-Si (-Cu) alloys during overageing. The evolution was …

The effect of Ag addition on the precipitation evolution and interfacial segregation for Al–Mg–
Si alloys was systematically investigated by atomic resolution high-angle annular dark-field …

This study presents the comprehensive experimental investigation of the microstructure,
mechanical and fatigue properties of a new high-strength aluminium alloy AA 6086, which …

Non-equilibrium excess vacancies quenched-in after solutionising age-hardenable
aluminium alloys at high temperature are known to play an important role in precipitation at …

The mechanical strength and electrical conductivity (EC) in Al–Mg–Si 6xxx conductor alloys
are key characteristics but mutually exclusive properties. This review paper critically …

Deep cryogenic treatment (DCT) has arisen as a promising green technology to modify the
properties of metallic materials. Here we present a substantial (55%) improvement to the …
