Atom probe tomography of early stage clustering in Al alloys
Nano-scaled early stage Si or Mg containing clusters in Al-Mg-Si alloys are experimentally extremely difficult to observe and atom probe tomography (APT) is the only…The 16th European Microscopy Congress 2016
Phase mapping of 2xxx-series aluminium alloys by scanning precession electron diffraction
2xxx-series Al alloys are Cu containing age-hardenable alloys, which are strengthened by numerous metastable precipitates formed during heat treatment. Many different precipitates exist, some of…The 16th European Microscopy Congress 2016
On the influence of the elemental addition Au on the semi-coherent interfaces in an Al-Cu alloy
Aluminium light alloys are employed in commercial automotive and aerospace applications due to their high specific strength and corrosion resistance [1]. Precipitation hardening is one…The 16th European Microscopy Congress 2016
Misfit of coherent precipitate phases in Al alloys measured by scanning transmission electron microscopy
1. Department of Physics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norvège
The age-hardenable Al–Mg–Si alloy system is strengthened by needle-shaped β” phase precipitates that develop during heat treatment. The phase is fully coherent with the Al…
