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 af...

This research concerns the precipitation and subsequent dissolution of precipitate phases in an Al–0.86Mg–0.62Si–0.1Cu (at.%) alloy subjected to varying thermal exposure during an in situ heating transmission electron microscope (TEM) experiment. The distribution and crystal structure of precipitate...

Grain boundary degradation phenomena in forged CW626N alloy containing aluminium, after exposition to corrosive environment according to standard NS-EN ISO 6509-1:2014, was systematically investigated by scanning/transmission electron microscopes. Already after three minutes exposure to CuCl2 aqueou...

The purpose of this work is to understand the role of Cu in the propagation mechanism of IGC on extruded alloy AA6005-T5. The constituent Cu segregates as a Cu-rich nanolayer, together with the formation of a solute depleted zone, along the grain boundaries during thermomechanical processing of the ...
