      The effect of Cu-addition on age-hardening and precipitation have been investigated by hardness measurement, tensile test, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and high angle annular dark field scanning ...
    • Effect of copper addition on the cluster formation behavior of Al-Mg-Si, Al-Zn-Mg, and Al-Mg-Ge in the natural aging 

      Hatakeyama, Daichi; Nishimura, Katsuhiko; Matsuda, Kenji; Namiki, Takahiro; Lee, Seungwon; Nunomura, Norio; Aida, Tetsuo; Matsuzaki, Teiichiro; Holmestad, Randi; Wenner, Sigurd; Marioara, Calin Daniel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The time-dependent resistivity of Al-Mg-Si(-Cu), Al-Zn-Mg(-Cu), and Al-Mg-Ge(-Cu) alloys are studied over a range of constant temperatures between 255 K and 320 K. The resistivity vs time curves for the samples show three ...
    • Effect of copper on fine precipitates at the early stage of aging in Al-Mg-X (X=Si, Ge, Zn) alloys 

      Matsuda, Kenji; Kawai, Akihiro; Watanabe, Katsumi; Lee, Seungwon; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Wenner, Sigurd; Nishimura, Katsuhiko; Matsuzaki, Teiichiro; Nunomura, Norio; Sato, Tatsuo; Holmestad, Randi; Ikeno, Susumu (Journal article, 2017)
      Age-hardenable Al–Mg–Si, Al–Mg–Ge, and Al–Zn–Mg alloys including Cu were investigated by transmission electron microscopy to understand extra diffraction spots that appear in their selected area electron diffraction patterns. ...
    • Muon Spin Relaxation Study of Solute–Vacancy Interactions During Natural Aging of Al-Mg-Si-Cu Alloys 

      Wenner, Sigurd; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Nishimura, Katsuhiko; Matsuda, Kenji; Lee, Seungwon; Namiki, Takahiro; Watanabe, Isao; Matsuzaki, Teiichiro; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Muon spin relaxation has the unique ability to detect very low concentrations of vacancies and vacancy–solute complexes in solids. In this work, we investigate quaternary Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloys and show that after quenching ...
