      5xxx Al-Mg based alloys are widely applied as non-heat-treatable alloys. In this work, we designed a dispersion-strengthening Al-4Mg-1Mn-0.3Fe-0.2Si-0.2Zr-0.2Cr (wt.%) alloy. By applying ramp heating and 400 °C isothermal ...
    • Freezing solute atoms in nanograined aluminum alloys via high-density vacancies 

      Wu, Shenghua; Søreide, Hanne-Sofie; Li, Chunan; Liu, gang; Li, Yanjun; Roven, Hans Jørgen; Sun, Jun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Low-temperature decomposition of supersaturated solid solution into unfavorable intergranular precipitates is a long-standing bottleneck limiting the practical applications of nanograined aluminum alloys that are prepared ...
