The image contrast of sheared needle‐like precipitates in the Al‐Mg‐Si alloy system is investigated with respect to shear‐plane positions, the number of shear‐planes, and the active matrix slip systems through multislice transmission electron microscopy image simulations and the frozen phonon...

The mechanism behind shearing of β'' precipitates in Al-Mg-Si alloys during deformation is investigated by applying advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques and frozen phonon multislice TEM image simulations on a selection of shearing configurations. In particular, the results...

The strength of a metallic alloy is controlled by the collective contribution from different strengthening mechanisms. To develop a complete numerical framework for the flow stress in alloys, it is necessary to understand the different mechanisms isolated, as well as knowing how they interact and...
