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 …

Friction stir welding and processing enabled the creation of stronger joints, novel ultrafine-
grained metals, new metal matrix composites, and multifunctional surfaces at user-defined …

Friction stir welding (FSW), a highly efficient solid-state joining technique, has been termed
as “green” technology due to its energy efficiency and environment friendliness. It is an …

The structural and compositional evolution of precipitates in Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloys were
systematically investigated by atomic resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning …

The crystal structure of β′, one of the metastable phases formed during precipitation
hardening of Al–Mg–Si (6xxx) alloys, has been determined using electron diffraction (ED) …

In this study the artificial aging behavior of the Al–Mg–Si alloy AA 6061 was investigated in
the temperature range 150–250° C using atom probe tomography, hardness and resistivity …

Fundamentals of Aluminium Metallurgy: Recent Advances updates the very successful book
Fundamentals of Aluminium Metallurgy. As the technologies related to casting and forming …

A heat treatable TiB 2/Al-3.5 Cu-1.5 Mg-1Si composite was successfully fabricated by
selective laser melting (SLM). The results show that the Q phase forms in the matrix of the as …

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 …

In the slightly deformed Al-Mg-Si alloys, dislocation-induced precipitates are frequently
observed, and they usually line up, forming sophisticated precipitation microstructures …
