• Aberration-corrected HAADF-STEM investigations of precipitate structures in Al-Mg-Si alloys with low Cu additions 

      Saito, Takeshi; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Lefebvre, Williams; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2014)
      Precipitates in a lean Al–Mg–Si alloy with low Cu addition (~0.10 wt.%) were investigated by aberration-corrected high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). Most precipitates were ...
    • Atomic-resolution elemental mapping of precipitates in a 7449 aluminium alloy 

      Wenner, Sigurd; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Lefebvre, Williams; Ramasse, Quentin; Kepaptsoglou, Despoina Maria; Hage, Fredrik Sydow; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2014)
      The high-strength weldable 7xxx series of aluminium alloys are of great importance to the aeronautics industry. Only recently, the complex structures of the AlZnMg hardening precipitates have been solved by HAADFSTEM imaging ...
    • Cu atoms suppress misfit dislocations at the β″/Al interface in Al-Mg-Si alloys 

      Saito, Takeshi; Ehlers, Flemming J H; Lefebvre, Williams; Hernandez-Maldonado, David; Bjørge, Ruben; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Mørtsell, Eva Anne; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2016)
      The Cu interactions with the Al–Mg–Si alloy main hardening phase β″ are investigated in atomic scale, by using experimental and simulated high angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy techniques ...
    • HAADF-STEM and DFT investigations of the Zn-containing β'' phase in Al-Mg-Si alloys 

      Saito, Takeshi; Ehlers, Flemming J H; Lefebvre, Williams; Hernandez-Maldonado, D; Bjørge, Ruben; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2014)
      The Zn-containing β″ phase in Al–Mg–Si alloys was investigated by aberration corrected high angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), combined with density functional theory (DFT) ...
    • Phase stabilization principle and precipitate-host lattice influences for Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy precipitates 

      Ehlers, Flemming J H; Wenner, Sigurd; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Lefebvre, Williams; Boothroyd, Chris; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2014)
      In this work, we seek to elucidate a common stabilization principle for the metastable and equilibrium phases of the Al–Mg–Si–Cu alloy system, through combined experimental and theoretical studies. We examine the structurally ...

      Saito, Takeshi; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Lefebvre, Williams; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Precipitates in Al-Mg-Si alloys with Cu addition (~0.1 wt%) and Zn addition (~1 wt%) were investigated by aberration corrected high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). Most ...
    • The Effect of Zn on precipitation in Al-Mg-Si alloys 

      Saito, Takeshi; Wenner, Sigurd; Osmundsen, Elisa; Marioara, Calin Daniel; Andersen, Sigmund Jarle; Røyset, Jostein; Lefebvre, Williams; Holmestad, Randi (Journal article, 2014)
      Effects of addition of Zn (up to 1 wt%) on microstructure, precipitate structure and intergranular corrosion (IGC) in an Al–Mg–Si alloys were investigated. During ageing at 185 °C, the alloys showed modest increases in ...
